Camp if ya don’t wanna spin a lift ya can always run snowmobiles to the top and/or ski up.
I’d hitch a ride and bring beer for ya.
she had been following for years and just decided to post saying she doubted what I had written, hard to believe etc shows to me that it was shocking to some without a doubt, and yes some were obviously blindsided, I have clients who buy and save green spaces, seeing how many local families were effected I believe their could have been alternative solution , especially at such a low cost, 750.000, being hopeful is nice but being able to see ahead of the game and know that theirs some people who don’t give a crap about the people who live near Tog could have possibly saved this property, I wonder about any house/property sales that may have went down around Tog, and purchases near the Song, Lab and Greak before the info about the covenant became public
personally I had signed a no compete agreement with a top 20 (in the USA) builder that I had no problem violating with the help of clients (lawyers) after I left that company

Go for it!
It's for sale
Too late! But if we get the word out that big $ is available for stuff like this then maybe it can help another small hill, Kind of like a 66 acer landfill that was for sale for $9 million , it sold before a client who would have turned it into a park with a ski slope etc had a chance to evaluate and place a bid, I drove with him to the top of the property while he was talking about his ideas to finance the use of the park for years down the line, instead a jewler bought it and will put houses there, my clients do the opposite of what they did to Tog.
having taught local kids from schools who could only learn to ski because it was part of the schools program I know the importance of these small hills, I remember catching the school bus to go skiing, little Willard mountain felt huge! I noticed a shit load of people were pissed off about what happened ; and about the same 2 who kept giving excuses on a syracuse social media thread,

Again, there's a number that he'll sell it for and make that covenant go away. Happens all the time. It ain't too late, for sale signs are up now.

Luckily those in and around Cuse still have options in Lab, Song, Greek. Most don't even have 1 ski hill within 30 miles, we have 3.

Yeah. I’ve seen people say that the covenant is already in place but that’s not how I read it. I got the impression the covenant would come into it when the land was disposed of after the infrastructure was stripped out. Can somebody clarify? I’m sure if $2 million could be raised, Harris would move mountains to make the deal happen.

On the other hand, as an outsider, I don’t really see how the region is losing that much, as Camp pointed out. There lots of options still. If I had 2 mil to throw at the ski world, I think it would be better spent bringing Sterling Forest back. That might impact the sport. As much as the Tog homers are gonna miss the place and I feel bad for them, a good feeder hill closer to a big population center would be a better candidate for some charity.

That's how I read it as well. Even if the covenant was already there, money = power. I was on the sideline of a buy/sell with a covenant. Eventually, enough cash was tossed at it that the covenant magically disappeared.
