Gravelish bike with 38mm slicks. It's under a mile from the turn around. Had to walk a few short sections. all the rocks were wet which made it a bit more challenging. I am glad I did it, but not necessarily feeling the need to do it again.

A hillside with a stage and room for a couple thousand people might be feasible. The problem, as always in North Creek, is the lack of lodging. Which also somewhat impacts the B in F&B

Finished a ride of Spruceton Rd and 42 by riding my bike to Diamond Notch yesterday. The Devils Path/Spruceton Horsetrail loop also has it's charms

An Amphitheater that close in distance from SPAC, but that much further from population than SPAC seems illadvised.

Got em done at Jimmy's Belleayre Ski Shop. They did a great job at a reasonable price. Based on my conversations with a number of shops, I believe G3 does not make a jig for their AT bindings. If you have G3 bindings that you need mounted, I can say that they have done at least a couple using...

I did call OC Snowboards and they said they might be able to do it with a paper jig. Idlewild in PA was very unimpressed with the paper jig that G3 provided me, so I was really hoping to avoid that. Will call Ski Haus though, thank you. It might come to that!

I am coming from Goshen, between Middletown and Newburgh. Ski Barn would be very convenient. I will give em a call Ha, I just went to their site and saw the following under the "binding service" tab. "We do not install the following bindings: 22Designs, NTN Telemark bindings, G3..." Thank...

Thank you. Worth a try. I'll give em a call.

Does anyone have a lead on where I can get G3 touring bindings mounted. Neither of the closest G3 dealers (Idlewild in Clifford PA or Outdooe Sports Center in Wilton CT) has the jig. G3 sent me a link to a paper jig, but Idlewild says it doesn't really have enough information to be used...

A slash through the woods like that will grow thick really quickly if it isn't kept in check.

Skied Belle today, had a couple of thoughts. First, holy cow the snowmaking and grooming is just ridiculous. They had a ton open and it was skiing really well. Considering the rain event early in the week it was absolutely phenomenal conditions/open terrain, and it would have been pretty good...

Where are we seeing that they are getting rid of DH mountain biking?

The argument, made by Laszlo and others, is that there is no other business that competes against the state like skiing. That argument is "disingenuous". I agree that golf is tilted more towards private, I agree that camping is tilted more towards public. The owners of private campgrounds and...

I have a certain amount of sympathy for this point, as made by Laszlo and others, but it is kinda BS when you think about it. I regularly golf at courses owned by towns, counties and the state. There are also plenty of private courses that get my money. NYS campgrounds compete with private...

I see your point about 1 chair per vehicle, or at least per person, but every other point you made is, um, uh, loco.

Yep. Lapping gondolas is for rubes. Of course, so is a lift with a 1% rise over run for 650 feet. And closing some of the very little challenging (ish) terrain at a mountain that is already intermediate friendly to make more blues. I have a real soft spot for Belle. They get very good...

I got angry for about a second, and then realized that nothing would change, except it might get slightly less traffic. So win.

The ski3 discount card was a much, much better (more generous) product, a few years ago.

Not technically Brutalist, but had a real Soviet feel to it. They only good thing I will say about the new Discovery is that it is an improvement over the old Discovery.

The Gondola was a ludicrous upgrade. It would only make sense if the Highmount expansion were to happen, and even then it's a bit of a stretch. The route from the top of Superchief to Tomahawk is easy as pie. The route from the top of the Gondola to Roaring Brook is a bitch.
