AZ Group Buy!!!

In all seriousness (I know, sorry to even go there) how does Tenney stack up against its nearest competitors in terms of natural snowfall?

So lets buy a mountain that gets a lot more snow then Tenney and close to NYC metro area.

some great info here: http://nyskiblog.com/magazine/#nabble-td2551736

In those days, when artificial snowmaking did not exist, many older people told stories of skiing at Bearpen in the middle of May. For me, in the Catskills, this seemed ridiculous, but I kept an open mind. Still, I kept thinking, “If it’s so great, why haven’t I heard of it before?”

vertical drop of 2,120 feet: unheard of for lift-served skiing in the Catskills.
Bearpen apparently has no issues receiving its annual average snowfall of 200 inches. Similar to Plattekill, it is in a naturally advantageous position to grab snow, including lake-effect precipitation. But there’s more. On the west escarpment, there are two huge terrain “scoops” that drive wind (and with it, snow) up toward the top of the mountain. Plattekill experiences a similar, but lesser phenomenon across its varied exposure.

Nothing in NY is cheap.

True statement.

I am pretty sure it is cheaper now because it has been on the market for a while and our state of NY is broke.

If I won a $150M lottery I'd offer them $2M and call it a day. Assuming the property taxes aren't absurdly butt-raping of course. Then I'd spend another few million and put in a double. Personal ski resort. That would be insane.

Outside the lottery ticket that's probably how most ski areas start.

Well Puck it, you started the thread so I guess you'll have to cut the check.:beer:

That would be pretty cool, though I'd probably put in a T-Bar instead of a chairlift. That way I wouldn't have to hire any staff. I could just flip the switch when I got on the lift and turn it off when I got to the top and be free of worrying about being 30 feet in the air if the lift malfunctioned. The cost of running and maintaining the lift would be much cheaper as well. Hell, you could probably put in a small solar panel array to power an electric motor for a T-Bar that wasn't running constantly and had minimal load.

And regards to the taxes, 600 acres is a fairly decent sized wood lot. I bet you could offset a lot of the tax by leasing out the land to a firewood business. That takes care of selective cutting for glading the terrain as well.

It would make a nice winter place, if I could get my kid's off the payroll.
