    Passes for 2020 - 2021

    The 25% cap on lodges - in my mind- kills the season. If the winter is like the summer, where people are buying gear and doing all this outdoor stuff and now a ban of VT travel, NY skiing could be extremely busy and making it worse is not being able to go get ready in the lodge. I pretty sure...

    Coronavirus and Skiing

    It will be interesting to see if ORDA can even open the ski resorts this year. Agree or disagree but Cuomo is locking stuff down...remote learning for SUNY Colleges after Thanksgiving, negative results if you travel to NY (being enforced by more police and now the National Guard). It would be...

My friend's son works at Alpine Ski Shop in Saratoga - he stated the same thing. He also added that people are buying skis and gear regardless of...

    Helmets bro!

    Would that be a bunch of sticks and a person with diminished mental capacity ? Those 3 words were staples in my childhood----if I didn't have those words, I would have not talked most of the time.

    Cuomo says ski areas in NY to open at 50% Capacity

    I have young kids and one time we ate at a table that underneath was covered with bags - we had no where else to go, we were in the cafeteria and our bags were stacked on the shelving in the other room. I think most of our food ended up on top of the bags underneath us.

    Cuomo says ski areas in NY to open at 50% Capacity

    I have enough angst getting to lodge early to avoid people in normal circumstances and every lodge I have been at lunch time has been an absolute cluster with fighting for place to sit. For this to work - you need reservations / limit the total amount of skiers. I keep telling myself - why am...

    HA ! I said the same thing to my wife ---i said if you take a step back and really look at it --wearing a mask in public makes perfect sense.

    Passes for 2020 - 2021

    Yeah - same thing at Whiteface ....same people, less sitting spots ---like playing musical chairs. If you are keeping with all the rules that apply to most everything else - you need to reduce capacity, reduce the amount of people at any given venue - you need to put cap on skiers. If the...

    Passes for 2020 - 2021

    Last I heard - is that you go on the Gondola with who you agree to. They won't pack you in or fill the cab. Same with chair lifts - you ride with family, friends, people you agree to. I would imagine this will lead to longer lines.

    The New Normal

    Not to get political - while I am not a Cuomo fan - i think his fast, decisive action when this hit saved upstate NY. I think he did the best action he could and it helped. I agree you cannot overwhelm the hospital system or you are in big trouble. But I still feel at this point, we could be...

    The New Normal

    I had a talk with a Whiteface employee - skiing will be very different this year. They are still trying to figure out how to deal with people's ski bags, the cafeteria, how to serve food, how to sit people and how to run ski programs. They still need to figure out how to reduce the capacity of...
