There were areas where one could actually ski from the top of Bald Mtn all the way down to the Hudson... (after traversing the highway(Rte 40)  )

Not to contradict you big bob but I think you got the hill tops confused. Rice mountain you could have skied down to the river without a ton of traversing. Bald mountain you would have had to cross country for about a mile before you headed downhill again.Grew up on Bald mountain. Been all over it and still remember most of its contour.
