ORDA Snowmaking Improvements

[Zykamps]

Yeah and whatabout throwing a snowmaking bone to the rest of NY State other than just NY State owned Hudson River Watershed areas?

What about raising prices, giving nys residents a discount and giving all the extra funds to the other nys areas?

Anything like that would be better than the skiing monopoly NYS has over it's competitors.

Hilarious.
The 3 areas are already underutilized. Do you want even fewer people using the areas?
Here is what you need to do: change the NYS Constitution section about the ski areas so somebody else can either operate the areas or even buy the areas.

Then they turned around and signed up for an event that required them to make a massive amount of snow

Did they in fact "sign up", or was this the point of the money in the first place?

 

[TheGreatAbyss]

I'm also curious how many total acres each resort has open right now.? When you look at it that way instead of a percentage basis Belle may not be that far ahead. Just speculating

Then they turned around and signed up for an event that required them to make a massive amount of snow, very early in the season. Gore is even doing yet another expansion this summer.

Sounds great. Good work, Gore.

Except that their shiny new high speed quad won't be open much. They haven't even opened the new trail they cut this past summer.

I do wonder if this season will make them rethink the whole new lodge at the ski bowl. Though if the long term plan is a b2b gondola then it doesn't matter if ski bowl never gets connected

Dude, it has to snow.

They will put a pumphouse at the ski bowl and have that thing opened in two days along with the Nordic trails. No one in LP or Gore has much say in what gets built. It's not like they can say we are not taking the money for the lodge and are going to put it into snowmaking. The state will say ok and there will be no snowmaking or lodge. Someone in Albany said we will build a lodge for you. All they can really say is thank you
