It's expensive ..it comes from "frazile"

They keep rehashing the same "study" that "by 2050, Lake Placid will be one of 4 sites that can host the olympics". They're so delusional that they think they are ever going to get another Olympics. It's never going to happen, and they shouldn't be wasting their time, and taxpayer dollars on it. It's like they have to include that in every article about capital improvements and they can't just make common sense upgrades to improve the ski experience, like everyone else, including Gore and Belleayre.

Spending money for a big windshield for The Ho Jump to have it be more reliable is noteworthy. While they’re at whatabout buying a few & put in a windshield for Ruby Run at Gore? Paragliding-skimo could become a winter olympic sport by 2050 too.

and they can't just make common sense upgrades to improve the ski experience, like everyone else, including Gore and Belleayre.

They’re still making snowmaking & lift capital upgrades to all 3 areas.
How about NYS throwing a bone to the other NY ski areas not in The Hudson River watershed?
