    Season pass protection- hooray for Magic!

    That's a fair way of looking at it, but it's governed by the contract entered into when the pass is purchased (unless there is a law that overrides the contract). Ikon's website says these are the terms of that portion of the contract: Q: If I purchase a 20/21 Ikon pass and destinations do not...

    Season pass protection- hooray for Magic!

    In response to COVID-19 & uncertain economic times Magic is offering a full credit for future pass if the season is shut down prior to opening day for the 2020/21 season and partial credit if it has to close by next February. Passes are also reduced by 10% over last year's pricing to help...

    How about something different

    Which is why I started that post with the word "if." It depends how you look at it. Many see upstate as anything outside NYC.

    How about something different

    If Long Island considered upstate, then yes, there are some very good wines. Out of curiosity I bought a bottle of One Woman Vineyard Gewurztraminer at a liquor store in Grand Central Station of all places & it turned out to be one of the best I've ever had. I hear they make an excellent Gruner...

    How about something different

    A few years back I stopped by McGregor Vineyards on Keuka Lake- the owner suggested I try the merlot. Thinking a Finger Lakes red couldn't be all that good, and not being a fan of merlot anyway, I skeptically tried it. Well I was shocked- it was vibrant and delicious- what a good merlot is...

    How about something different

    Trying to get inmates released- adults and juveniles- technical and/or minor offenders. Chasing down rumors for worried loved ones about positive C-19 tests behind bars. Courts are going virtual. Down the street from my home is a river with an old mill that now has offices in it. Over a...

    Killin' time watching ski vids

    Now that we're all self-isolating at home, at least we can watch vids of being out there. I'm getting kind of addicted to these racing vids- here are some good ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9Sco6zLmsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbjdhunaUjY...

    Ski area bankruptcies

    Many areas had very early openings- Hunter and Blue opened well before Thanksgiving (Blue 4 to 5 weeks earlier than usual)- then they lost two or three weeks on the back end. So they got about the same length ski season as usual but it just shifted earlier. Plus, the major holiday periods they...
