We can’t talk about investments without talking about politics. Soon we won’t be able to talk about anything without talking about politics. In a healthy democracy politics is something that you need to think about for a few hours every couple of years. We’re fucked. mm

Windham now has a helicopter service to NYC: https://www.news10.com/news/greene-county/windham-mountain-club-to-offer-flights-to-from-manhattan/ I'm hoping ORDA follows suit with flights from Mechanicville to Whiteface. mm

Does anyone know what shape Killington and Superstar are in now? Snow control for the FIS races is next Thursday, November 21. After tonight, there isn't any snowmaking weather in the 10 day forecast. FIS can approve a course base on expected weather conditions, but it doesn't look good so far. mm

I found this in my email: Maybe @snoloco or someone else with an unhealthy interest in ski lifts might be interested. mm

NYS is installing cameras to catch speeders on the Northway and some roads around the Hudson Valley and LI. For now it's seems to be limited to work zones...

While we were all distracted by the mess Vail has made of Stowe and Hunter, and by ORDA's various missteps, the new owners off Jackson Hole want to regrade the Alta chutes: https://www.skimag.com/news/jackson-hole-alta-chutes/ WTF? Is nothing sacred? mm

I took all my track winnings and bought Mega Millions tickets. I'm gonna be rich! mm

My inspection was overdue and the tires failed, so I put the snow tires on today. I think that means six more weeks of rainy November. My bad. Sorry. mm

I'm trying to score free lift ticket for my friend tomorrow. ORDA owes me one with my season pass. Does anyone know how to get it on line? mm

It was one of those days that NY skiers think is great but the locals stay home. Still it’s good to be traveling again. mm

I'm driving from North Creek to Potsdam tomorrow afternoon and I'm a little concerned about the weather. My usual route was Indian Lake> Long Lake > Blue Mountain Lake, but if road conditions are bad I have enough time to head west to Rt 30, or north through Lake Placid. LP os probably not not...

I didn’t want to post anything negative on opening day yesterday, but Gore has not yet hung the chairs on the new Sunway lift. I never ride that lift, but it’s an important lift for beginners, especially when the AE2 doesn’t run. We can also estimate the High Peaks completion date from the...
