Brodie Mountain

From the article -- looks like someone neglected to fact-check (Song and Tully Mountains?):

Brodie isn’t the first small ski center to be closed after coming under the wing of another nearby resort. Toggenburg
Mountain near Syracuse closed last year after being purchased by SkiCNY, which operates the nearby Song and Tully mountains.
 
That’s a weird sentence actually. It implies that Tog was the precedent. Brodie was closed for a long time before the Tog controversy.
 
Now that I think of it, last week, I was running my mouth about what a home run reopening Brodie would be in front of somebody who has the wherewithal to buy it, a serious skiing addiction and a history of swinging for the fence entrepreneurially. I wonder

I learned how to ski at Brodie. A local travel agent (remember those) had a program that sent several coach buses up every Friday evening for 6 weeks from early Jan to just before President's week. I did that from 7th though 11th grade. Had a lot of fun, and froze my ass off most nights, but as mentioned, Brodie was terribly flat. Jiminy had the better terrain, Brodie had the better vibe. The last time I was there was St Patty's day (probably 91 or 92) which ended with a torchlit run down Shamrock on green snow. I wore the tiny burn holes that those torches made on my ski jacket with pride for years. Would love to ski it again for nostalgia's sake and as an antidote to the now insufferable Jiminy.

I'm sure that this has been covered somewhere in the forum -- which ski areas in the northeast have been successfully brought back from the dead, like Crotched Mountain, NH and Magic in VM?
