OK, welcome aboard Skier 4 Life. Feel free to barge in whenever.

Nice JimmyG, real nice.

No good? Looking back, I guess it sounded a little sarcastic. Wasn't meant that way. Sorry.

Don't be sorry, I was only kiddin. Besides Lifer has a great sense of humor, he rolls with anything.

Seriously, can a www.dackskiing.com forum from Greg and Co be far behind at this point? Gore, WF, the new Big Tupper, backcountry reports from the High Peaks....what else?

Good thinkin Tin, now we just need Greg on board with this project and we're all set.

What's the deal with "the new Big Tupper?" Are they opening up this season? I used to love that mountain when I was a kid. There are some sweet shots there - Particularly the top (all the way skier's left) and the trees skier's left of the bump run under the main lift. I don't remember the names of the trails, I haven't been there in probably 10 years.

It's suppose to be open for next season. I never skied there myself, but I've heard good things.

Holy Crap! Just found this online:

The Big Tupper expansion plan looks bigger than both Whiteface AND Gore's expansion plan.

Wow! This place is buzzin' with Yellow Jackets. There goes the neighborhood. :wink:

Would you rather have the Black Coats? The yellow jackets are friendly, warm and fuzzy (maybe not all of us :wink: ) PR related workers. The black coats are speed enforcement and ticket pullers. Not that there's anything wrong with that. WF management thought they'd make the ski environment better and safer and I applaud that decision. Some people who speed in the wrong places and duck ropes (sound familar FHW :wink: :lol: )need to be reeled in for the greater good of the mountain and it's customers.

I dopn't get it. There isn't much in that document talking to the expansion the ski area at all. It's 95% about real estate. How would you compare it to WF and Gore?

 

[Greg]

Careful. With all these replies, I might have to consider setting up a Whiteface forum like SkiMRV...

Yeah, I guess you're right. I just glanced through it here at work. I saw "6800+ acres" and "new lifts" and got excited. It is a hefty sized project, though, and the "trail improvements" are much needed. Some of the trails up top were considerably overgrown and in need of trimming (10 years ago). If this whole thing goes through, though, it will be weird when Big Tupper has the most slopeside lodging in New York State (with the exception of Holiday Valley, I guess).

Essex is now open! :beer:

 

[ski_adk]

What are the ambitions of opening new terrain...will follies or parons be open after this weekend? I can't wait to get after it...will be there Wed. 12/14 with a crew of friends who will be getting Faced for the first time.

Now that I think about it, SkiADK has a certain attractive je ne sais quoi about it. Non?

 

[ski_adk]

Ski_adk = Skiing + Adirondacks. About the 2 greatest things in the world, especially when combined.
