Adirondacks special on PBS

Moe Ghoul · May 15, 2008, 8:56 AM

PBS had an awesome special on last nite from 9-11PM about the Adirondacks. It covered it's early history and went right up to contemporay issues like the Big Tupper Ski resort debate, but had tons of insight about the area that I wasn't aware of. Well worth watching if they rerun it.

I saw it. It was excellent. We are now planning on taking the Goldwing on a trip this summer to Blue Mountain to check out the Adirondack Museum.

Sounds worthwhile. I'm thinking of going up in the fall to camp/hike. I haven't done that since my scouting days, but that special really got me amped to get into it again.

I couldn't watch it last night, but I recorded it on my DVR. I can't wait to see it.

Nah Whiteface and Placid are the real deal . Lake Placid has way more to offer in general than Stowe

Nice. Was there anything about WF in the broadcast?

Def next season, but Whiteface still gets my loyalty. And planning trips around events when they will make boatloads of snow is key. Empire State Winter Games was kickass, so much snow.
