A blue trail was needed to get to the Ski Bowl, but it wasn’t necessary to build it where and how it was done. It decimated one of the best and longest glades in the East, cutting it into three short segments (do you prefer the over-skied Bar, the less frequently skied, steeper and more...

One of ORDA’s mission is to develop/improve local economies around their facilities, that seems to have happened at Whiteface but not at Gore or Belleayre, although Wilmington is a semi ghost town with the real action in Lake Placid. A couple of private areas I’m familiar with are at opposite...

I love Moxham. I remember skiing it on late season natural snow years ago, huge bare spots to dodge. A Gore throwback, narrow with lots of turns and changes of pitch. Everything that Backwoods could have been but failed miserably. Speaking of Backwoods, I noticed this view from Ski Bowl today...

I think “slides” was the writer’s poor attempt at humor - she’s a former luger.

Those kids are likely not racing at Gore today. McCauley is in section 3.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your new ORDA CEO. https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/walden-slides-into-olympic-authority-job

High point on Upper Steilhang to the Yurt 4 miles 2500 vf. Did it Friday.

Closest snow day to Gore yesterday was in New Paltz.

And Thursday. Topridge chair down for a couple of hours mid morning.

Don’t let the marketing report run your life, as the afternoon first edition is grossly inaccurate and the morning revision, if you can wait until after 8 am for it, is often only slightly less so. When they start spinning the lifts around 8 you can check Sunway on the base area webcam...

The competitions are scheduled for Monday through Friday, but it will not affect skiing any more than it already does, as Wild Air and Arena are already closed for snowmaking and course building. There may be a section of the main parking lot closed off for competitors, officials, etc. The first...

The Sunday afternoon “Monday” report was literally the Sunday report with minimal edits, showing everything that was open on Sunday as still open today. The revised report shows 9 lifts, not 14, a pretty normal Monday . But “ The Hudson Chair will be open, so venture to the classic trails at the...

It’s not that there’s a lot of horizontal at Gore. It’s that the information they are putting out is wrong at best and lies at worst, which will result in skiers (otherwise known as paying customers) getting stuck places and having a long uphill walk back to where they need to be. Once their...

Never trust the marketing report.

They may not have groomed last night, but the report for Wednesday said the same thing and virtually everything had been groomed, or if it hadn’t it didn’t ski significantly different from what had. We skied every pod except Topridge and Ski Bowl (that one wasn’t open) and conditions were...

I’m seeing one (or two) in the back yard modified into a chicken coop or mini greenhouse.

If we’re lucky they will get stuck in a Bill Murray time warp endless loop and not be able to vote on any of this stuff.

Holiday break 2025

Does that include drive train refurbishing? Without those gear and bearing things those new cars might not be going anywhere. Like putting new fuzzy dice in the old winter beater.

You can buy a nice tiny house for that, complete with bathroom, kitchen, plumbing and electric. Maybe Hochul could assign ORDA to deal with NYS’s housing shortage that she was just speechifying about.
