And then there were three...

That's great. 302 on Tuesday has oysters on half she'll. $1.00 each. !!

Sounds like we need an "Eating on the Cheap" thread.

Their breakfast was outstanding too, and incredibly nice waitstaff. They hold cribbage tourneys on Monday nights. A very cool place I wish were just a bit closer to make a regular stomp.

I didnt know they still sell the valley pass, do you have a link?

It's sold by the chamber of commerce. I get one as a chamber member. They at least used to sell a more expensive public version called the Presidential Pass. You'd have to call and ask if they still do.

Where are you

 

[wtcobb]

Where are you

Littleton, NH, bordering VT instead of ME. It's about an hour and a half to cross over to Fryeburg for me.

 

[trafficjam]

Been there. Nice place other side of Washington from me

 

[JimG.]

I'd be up for joining that party!

I will be at Gore alot this season. Hoping conditions cooperate.

Whiteface too; never been there. Always seem to wind up in VT.

 

[trafficjam]

Been to Whiteface once long time ago. As I remember was great.

 

[steamboat1]

Only skied Whiteface a couple of times myself but thought it was a great mountain. Both times were in the spring so I didn't get to experience what it's known for (iceface)
Whiteface has a lot of flags too unlike some other place I know.

Been to Whiteface once long time ago. As I remember was great.

Skied there a few times and there are some great steeps there and nice long runs. I have skied a few glades there but I wish they had more or maybe it is more like I wish I had found more. I experienced iceface on a few trails off to the lower left of steamboat's picture. Upper mountain was great though. Never got to ski the slides.

 

[JimG.]

It's hard even for me to believe I am a lifelong NYer and skier and I have never been there.

It is a legitimately big mountain. Hope to ski there at least 10 days this season and I can pick and choose my days.

That 3 in 1 pass looks like a good deal for you. I'm familiar with the area you live (pass Hopewell Jct while driving the Taconic all the time). Belleayre & even Gore should be easy day trips. Whiteface may be pushing it a little but maybe not. It takes me about 2 hrs. just to get up to Hopewell Jct. from Brooklyn (maybe slightly less). I can make Gore in less than 5 hrs so that puts Gore well within day trip range for you. It takes me 3 hrs. just to get to the Catskills (Hunter, Belle, etc.) which I've done day ski trips to in the past. Just went to Hunter for a day trip two weeks ago for their Ocktoberfest & leaf peeping. Long day but not bad.

 

[JimG.]

1:20 to Hunter for me, 2:45 to Gore and a little over 4:00 to Whiteface.

3:00 is my one way daytrip limit. Did a few overnighters at Gore last season and will do more this year. Same for Whiteface and will also mix in Whiteface/Gore combo weekends (Sat Whiteface Sun Gore).

Sounds about right. The was was obscene late morning. By afternoon it had migrated from the lift to the bar.

I have the express pass...really a sweet deal I think one of the best for a mountain near (3:15 one way) me. Being able to ski weekdays and get 50% off walkup rate is the big difference for me.

Also being able to ski early season like this coming weekend (I'll be hiking in Cats) is an additional perk.
