ORDA's Latest Screw-Up

That is a brutal increase and the the lower visits will reflect the increase.

First look at Van Ho lodge design

LAKE PLACID — A modern, three-story brown-brick lodge filled with spacious, sun-drenched lounges, a cafe and gift shop — that’s what a Rochester-based contractor has been selected to make a reality at Mount Van Hoevenberg. The board of New York’s Olympic Regional Development Authority, which...

Want a gondola? I just heard about this last night. Very disappointed I didn't hear about the bunny hutch chairs.

While this isn't an ORDA issue it's still NYS. The state continues to spend millions that we don't have, yet because we're broke cut others. This is amazingly stupid being snowmobilers pay for our own maintenance through registration monies. As word of this spreads shit will be hitting the fan.

It's country club like cross country skiing. If that were my thing I would be pretty stoked. For 225 you have access to a very expensive set up.

Kindly describe exactly how this is like a country club. Have you had a preview?

Well you have a 50 million dollar facility only few people will enjoy. It's world class. From making sno to changing your gear. Everything is up to date. You walk around at country club and things are in pristine condition. That's what you have with van ho.

I don't think this was done in the dark. I don't think 9 figure expenditures for Olympic venues is done in the dark either. That's why you need to have another "host the world" type of event.

I hope it's nicer than the renderings, looks more like an office or shopping mall than and Adirondack xc ski lodge

The World University Games will be coming to Lake Placid in a few years. So yeah, they needed a facility to accommodate that. After having NCAA races where these kids are waxing skis in a tent when it's 25 degrees out, I think it's OK. And again: snowmaking, lodge, updated trails have all been in the UMP for nearly 40 years.

I'm not in the tax bracket to walk around in country clubs, so I can't comment on the comparison.
