My late grandfather was partial to Cronin's Golf Resort in Warrensburgh.

Same here. He was a member there for like 200 years.....LoL

In fact, a picture of my grandfather putting on the 18th green used to be the pic on the scorecard. I have very fond memories of playing there with him, my dad, and my uncle.

MLK Day, I woke up here (Santononi Preserve):

Skied out, drove through Long Lake (everything closed but Stewart's) and wound up here:

On the bunny hill:

This was about as sunny as it got, and it snowed most of the day, lightly:

The snow was excellent. Connoisseurs dust on crust, 6 inches of pow over a supportive, yet edgeable base.

And the light didn't get better, and also my phone died. I hadn't charged it in two days. I got passed on the skin track by a gentleman who used to patrol there. Not just passed, blown away. He was older than me too! I decided to go home before I had a coronary. 4 cars in the minuscule parking area. My informant says a number of locals ski there, but one vehicle had VT and another MA plates. The college kids definitely know about it. I hope that
it remains skiable. It is beginning to grow in, although some areas might still be mowed. Now I wish I had gone, 40 years ago, when one of the guys said "let's go night skiing, it is only 7 bucks". For those with the memories, it must have been a very special place. I would love to go back, even clear a little brush, maybe...

Wow, that’s looking so nice up there.

I have that same tent from the early nineties. I think it is maybe the Mountain 24 or VE 25? I forget. The foam spacers that snap in to make the gap with the fly are starting to disintegrate. You’re giving me flashbacks.

Nice!
We went nearly every Thursday morning exactly 50 years ago in the “spring" semester till the snow melted coming from the off campus apartments in Potsdam. Fun times. Some of em were pretty nippy.
Never skied there at night. With the stars out it’d been nice. It gets pretty dang dark at night there.
