Wonder what NYS paid for the expert outside analyses.
At least the resgroup is from Pennsylvania.

Exactly
Follow the money
I'd be curious too

My company rebranded its logo last year. The money spent in meeting to come up with the idea not to mention the major expense incurred to implement it is staggering. Im waiting. Any day now people are going to be storming in.

NYS budget gets passed “late".
"$90 million for the Olympic Regional Development Authority for maintenance and upgrades to its facilities. This is $2.5 million less than Hochul’s executive budget proposal."
Why not upgrade the dang zip-coaster thingy

when will ORDA be held accountable... this is ridiculous

not a single board member voted no on any of this. Absolutely clueless

They really should be spending more on operations to actually make some snow to get what trails they have open, and spin the lifts already there which sit idle during peak holiday weekends.

If they really need to deplete a $35 million cap ex pot, how about some increased snowmaking capacity, snowmaking on the Belle XC loop, a nice fixed-grip skytrac or partek that doesn't go over flat terrain or disney bridges or the leveled remains of the most beautiful area of Belle, actually doing something with highmount other than cultivating weeds...

They all got approved too (21 for 21) in the last meeting on May 16th 2023. No abstentions nor nays.
The board members kinda wanted to see who could be first to move at all the dang motions.
Belle got a lot of .
