Granted, the hotel is a little over the top for Virgil, NY.

Virgil is on the top of the eastern divide with some H2O going to Chesapeake Bay and some going to the gulf of St. Lawrence, so it’s just another top in Virgil.

Song is all Riblets. I don’t remember what was at Lab but not riblets.

Song also has a doppelmayr on the bunny hill. Runs slow as it’s for newbies or folks needing elevation cause it’s too sticky to get to the other lifts easily. The ones that take ya to the top.
This site has a a lot of info from a lot of places.

How about the US Olympic Committee and the planet's olympic committee kickin in some $ to those things?

They won’t even let Harvey post Olympic badminton videos when he wants to, so it seems like we’ll have to wait.

That didn’t take long.
Well it looks like ORDA will be gettin $600k +200K per year from US Olympic Committee from now till 2026 at least.
ORDA also gonna redo the Olympic museum to make it nice though too for ~$1.42 Mill.

Math says it’s better than getting nothing.

If international athletes also come to use the upgraded facilities, are their countries olympic committees gonna kick some coins in too to help pay?
Ya don’t wanna beg but ya can pass the hats.

I spend a lot of time on the Nostalgic Syracuse Facebook page: a bottomless pit of photos and info about my hometown. Here's a pic someone posted; can anyone guess the year based on the pricing? 1990s?

I'd guess it's before the 90's just based on there being no area code on the phone number. The pricing also seems more 70's ish.

That ad looks like early 80s based on the skier graphic and typestyles.

Nice catch. I remember older relatives writing down phone numbers with the SK3-3431 and GR4-9488 format.

I'm impressed by Toggenburg's entrepreneurial idea to pitch a short-term pass aimed at the college crowd. Back when I was in grade school and junior high, I remember skiing classmates going mainly to Greek Peak or Labrador. Togg and Song were rarely mentioned and places like Ironwood Ridge or Intermont were completely off the radar.

Our high school ski club bus would go within a mile of Song on the way to Lab. Nobody complained.

Intermont

That was a cool place

I wonder if it was because Greek/Lab offered better rates to ski clubs or that kids didn't want to go to Song/Togg?
