Who says small ski areas can't be a challenge?

My favorite Catskills hill has plenty of challenge.

Avalanche at Ski Denton

Suicide Six there. Hope to see my old home, Lyndon Outing Club soon.

FWIW I would not have grouped Suicide Six with these "community" areas because Suicide Six is owned by the (very wealthy) Woodstock Inn. That said, it is a smaller hill.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. The LOC has been open a grand total of maybe 7 days this year. Lyndonville has been completely skunked by snow so far . The 3-5 inches we just got with this weekend's "Storm" may be able to get the T-Bar spinning. However, I still only have 7 inches at my stake just over 2 miles away (and at roughly the same elevation).
If those guys are going to film at LOC they will need to get there this next weekend (assuming we come out with a net gain in snow depth with the unsettled weather this week).

On the brighter side, the 3-5 inches we got this weekend FINALLY allowed me to finish off the first tank of gas in my snowblower that has been in there since I bought it at the beginning of last year. :???:

Elk, platty, best stuff for 1000 vertical in two different states.my opinion.
