Adirondacks special on PBS

[Moe Ghoul]

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.

Moe next season you need to hit up Stowe..you'll forget all about Ice-Face:dunce:

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.

You have a nasty edge to you. Usually obese people like you are jollier.

I skied Stowe like 16 years ago, yeah, I know that's weak. But it's on the Go To List for next year.

How do you know you have skied in neither place. You should come up next year. I would take you around. Three minute rule in place for sure

Saw the first hour. What a great program. I've done the white water rafting on the Hudson with ARO, which was interviewed/chronicled in this story and I can HIGHLY recommend them.

What's the three minute rule??? The last time I skied Whiteface was in 1997..
