ORDA's Biggest Mistakes

I know geology is a "living" science but I don't think it operates on that time scale
 
I haven't been since the new lift but dark side, as great as it was, was not my favorite. You all know, I know, and we don't talk about those...
 
Daks are new mountains made of old rock.

Uplift started happening 10-20 million years ago, making the mountains younger than the Appalachians (even though the rocks are older… from the Grenville Orogeny, I believe, which predates the Appalachian mountain building events).

And yes, they are still rising.

Nobody knows why it’s happening. Some suspect a hotspot (similar to Hawaii, but deeper) that pushed up the Laurentians & ADKs.

How long before Gore hits the advertised vert?
 
To correct earlier information, Sodexo now runs the food service at all ORDA venues. Same provider Clarkson used in their dining halls. They also have contracts with other ski areas like Holiday Valley, Bristol, Jiminy Peak, and Smuggler's Notch. I still think it's weird to farm out what should be a highly profitable operation.
