Haters and Their Negative Comments

Are the pix really Highmount? I recall that Bellayre had the chairs and Highmount was all T-bars. Our high school team had ski camp every post-Christmas week at Highmount and for many of us it was our introduction to what a collection about 50 minimally supervised teenagers do if you give them a week to do it.

Sad to hear it's abandoned, great times there. Skiing too.

blizzard version of lord of the flies ... where's the pics from that?

Anybody remember the ultra-enduro T-bar at the Catskill Ski Center in Andes?

...skiing I do on the East Coast or other parts of the world!

What are your usual touring haunts?

Donski - As a Hudson Valley expat and unapologetic TAY lurker, I support and encourage your TR's. Any that describe back and sidecountry skiing around Whiteface and the Catskills where I skied in the 80's - Hunter, Windham, Belleayre, Plattekill ('a family mountain that ROCKS!') - would be terrific.

I grew up in Wash DC burbs.

I remember when I was little and it snowed, dad and his best friend (both skiers from Massachusets) used to cut work and go crosscountry skiing in Rock Creek Park. I thought they were nuts.

Dad is 83 and still skis, but very infrequently. He shoulda moved west....
