There is a similar type of tax in Big Sky. Since Montana does not have a state wide sales tax, there is a 3% local resort tax in place for that area. Most of it goes toward the sewage treatment facility. Interestingly, Big Sky is not an incorporated town but rather a collection of HOAs and the...

I’ve also heard talk of restoring the Otis Elevating Railway from the valley up to North-South Lake. The Kaaterskill Clove has been designated a riparian corridor in need of protection. Increased visitation and lack of infrastructure has overwhelmed Kaaterskill Falls and Fawn’s Leap. Currently...

There is a plan to extend the Catskill Mountain Railroad up to the Ashokan Reservoir. https://catskillmountainrailroad.com/cmrr-expansion/ The idea is to provide a rail to trail service for both scenic rides and viable transportation. A period correct terminal with bathrooms is planned. People...

Concentrating on building out four season operations around the lodge with a glorified bunny hill in winter makes the most sense. Too bad they can’t develop that with simultaneous public or member only access. The insurance and lack of snowmaking infrastructure is killer. They should go with a...

I’m sorry, I’m thick. There was a train in the Catskills that operated up to the Grand Hotel in Highmount well before Belleayre was even an idea. On the switchback above Pine Hill it is said that passengers would run to the front of the train to see the back of it on the curve below. Once the...

Windham has one. Fuck those people.

Great info Sno. Do they still use turntables? There was one near where I live in Hopewell Junction and I’ve heard there was one up in the Catskills. I believe that one was in either Arkville or Margaritville.

My heart is heavy hearing of him passing. He always had such nice things to say about his family and us skiers. You can tell his love was real. May you have fresh tracks and ski in peace my friend. You will be missed, that is for sure.

Trying to understand this and Prop 1 is like nailing jelly to a tree.

They should at least clad them with some rough sawn and call them outhouses to get that authentic ADK vibe.

Thank you for your insight, it is much appreciated. Maybe we should start a Sno Train thread. I remember the Sunday River Ski Train, AKA the Silver Bullet Express, back in the early 90’s. I was tramping around the North Shore of Boston and southern NH during that time and wish I had taken the...

Do I have to choose or can I be both? The snow train still runs to the Catskills. Sometimes it’s the journey and the destination. One section still runs the Polar Express.

My 1979 Lincoln Continental New Yorker with four studded snows in Montana. Drove one night during a massive storm on the unplowed roads from Big Sky out to Cooke City. On the way through Yellowstone we were busting through snowbanks that were as high as the hood. I really miss those days.

8am, still “snowing”

One NYC voter that I know voted against it because they said it sets a bad precedent for retroactive voting.

It was not decided by NYC residents. Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond (Staten Island) Counties voted against it. All of the 12 counties in the Adirondack Park voted in favor. Essex County, where Van Ho is, had one of the highest percentages at 63%.

Of course they should. But, the economic superpower of regional development just spent 40 million and is being held up by 800 bucks?
