I only count for one mountain (Gore) it's a old habit that dies hard. I'll count any snow I can see or measure anytime of year.

You try being "moderate" your whole life, it ain't easy. As trouble makers go I am pretty low key. If you like I can dial it back! :smileyvault-stirthepot:

So the mountain doesn't have to be open for the snow to count. You and I are on the same page, I guess it's James who is the outlier!

Seems arbitrary, to factor in "is the mountain open". If a mountain closes for a few years and then re-opens (like Tenney) would Tony average in zeros for those seasons? If Alta closes due to too much snow does Tony discount the snow that falls? Does he take into account the settling that...

The Snow Ridge Park Jam was Saturday. It's become a staple in the CNY Park Scene. Story: https://nyskiblog.com/snow-ridge-3rd-annual-park-jam/

Yes, probably, maybe, probably?

Plattekill's closing day was Saturday and it was just about everything I love about Plattekill. I got to the hill a little too early for a spring day (maybe) but what does that really mean? I was home, at a place I love. For me, and any diehard Plattekill skier, the view from the parking lot...

Monday was the day to ski Belleayre. It was obvious from outer space. So obvious that even @jamesdeluxe came. At first chair there was talk of trees... Groomers were exquisite. We did actually ski some trees But the biggest smiles were on the trails... Story here...

Maybe they want people to use the new multi-million dollar lodge. I don't think there was food service at Overlook.

:LOL::LOL: True, but. Much harder to do than to install that gondi. The gondi was IMAGINED and built in six months. The Highmount connection is taking decades it seems. Not saying I'm in favor of the gondi, but the evidence is that the customers love it. Some believe skiing is...

I'm not aware of drafts. I know you can save a response to a thread, but that's not the same thing. (?) I found this in support. Does it help? https://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-to-find-own-saved-draft.205178/ At NYSB we just have a non-public are were we actually post works in...

Tony first time getting covid? How many days were you down? You vaxed? Am I allowed to ask that?

Wednesday was quite a day, Plattekill's first Powderdaize since 2021. Looked like about 30 inches of snow and the hounds were out. Cripplin lift lines at open, must have waited at least 5 minutes The work we've done over the years paid off Gore peeps in the house Eventually we made it...

Welcome my son, to the machine!

Not well in advance. I think the storm may have impacted the groups travel plans on Tuesday (speculation). I can't say about the total net-net for the mountain, because F&B and rentals are a huge variable. But in terms of lift ticket sales, I believe the group gets 66% of the fee back for...

Those guys did quite nicely on Weds, with a cancelled rental, and a nice crowd. I'm sure they were very happy to be on vacation. They usually don't get away until the mountan closes down. Did you meet the boys?

What you guys value here, is input from a small group of well-informed, well-traveled and articulate skiers who present a high signal-to-noise ratio. That is what Admin built, and you continue to enjoy. I think often about who would take over NYSB for me. I would need someone who would resist...

I think we can call Admin, Admin right? Hasn't he earned it? 🤔
