    Powder Mountain new business model riles locals

    The blades also shatter and when they do, thousands of tiny fibreglass shards litter the surrounding area. Bad enough on land but a nightmare in the water. Each turbine also requires a large amount of fossil fuel lubricants and other hydraulic fluids that have been proven to leak into the water.

    Powder Mountain new business model riles locals

    Seriously though. Surfboards by Skip Frye (no fault of Skip), original 1960s 7" 45s from Jamaica, VW split window buses, Windham mountain, automakers discontinuing sport wagons in the US, the list goes on and on. They're currently trying to ruin both where I live and where I surf by building...

    When will your home mountain start selling passes for next year?

    No price yet for Windham, but they are including an uphill season pass with purchase. Not much of a savings, but it is convenient as I always have trouble getting over to the office early season to purchase one. Passes go on sale 3/8.

    Thunder Ridge, Holiday Mountain, Windham, and Mohawk all blew snow last night. I think Plattekill as well.

    When will your home mountain start selling passes for next year?

    "do any of the NY season passes include spring skiing for new pass holders?" Windham did two seasons ago. Not sure about now.

    Holiday Mountain 2-3-2024

    Really looking forward to hitting Holiday soon. I appreciate that you included some photos that show how the trails actually look from a downhill perspective. Any idea / predictions on opening up more terrain this season? They've definitely been hinting at the possibility.

    Windham Conditions

    Monday 1/29/24 Good conditions today. Official snowfall amount was 8” but I’d say it was more from midway up the mountain to the top. Low tide sections much less troublesome than previous storms this season, although there were some exposed sections of running water on the sides of some...

    Where are you skiing this week?

    I think I'll be at Plattekill tomorrow. I was considering Mohawk for an easier drive, but seems like Plattekill is going to be the call. If Holiday Mountain had more trails open, I would have considered that.

    Windham Mountain Going Private?

    What's the timing of the storm? I would think Monday will be tracked out given the current lack of terrain and no snow in the woods.

    Windham Conditions

    First time in a while I won't be there for opening day. Previous two seasons had great opening days with falling snow. Can't really see how they plan to pull it off this year given the late afternoon webcam view and weather forecast. The current evening view is no better:

    Windham Mountain Going Private?

    This is an interesting discussion. I'm getting a little tired of comments like this however: "these aren't serious skiers. How could you be if Windham is your home mountain?" Some of you either have little experience with Windham, aren't very good at figuring out the terrain, or have some...

    Windham Mountain Going Private?

    A few quick comments after reading through the thread: 1) "I don't think anyone knows that. Windham has had high season passes and crazy high day passes for a while now. I think some if the race program has already moved to NYSEF at Belleayre. I think that almost everyone who skis Windham has...
