As someone who grew up in Boston, I was one of the former. For most of my adult life, outdoor recreation was walking from the car to my office or to a restaurant. But then one winter my old- est daughter convinced me to try skiing. She was an avid fan and she soon made a convert of me. This issue of Strictly Business focuses on the pleasures of winter recreation. Our cover story features Kim Manion, who along with her husband Dennis is the co-owner of Maui North in downtown Plattsburgh. Both Manions grew up in the North Country, traveled and worked elsewhere and then came home to build their future. When they learned Maui North was for sale, they found the opportunity they were looking for. Pok-O-MacCready Camps and Outdoor Education Center in Essex County offer amazing opportunities for youth and adults to discover the joys of the outdoors in all seasons. Started in 1905 as a camp for boys, Pok-O-MacCready is now a destination for childhood learning as well as business retreats. Instead of driving through the beautiful Adirondacks why not see them up close? The Algonquin Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club offers hikes and outdoor experiences for everyone from the novice to the experienced enthusiast. Learn about them in this issue. Roberts Sport Center has been providing the vehicles necessary for outdoor fun since 1964. Whether you’re looking for a Ski- Doo, ATV, Side by Side, pontoon boat or outboard, you will find it at Roberts in Saranac. They’ll help you get out and go! As the home of two Olympic Winter Games, Lake Placid expanded its operation to become the crown jewel of Olympic venues. Don’t miss the exciting list of 2017 events scheduled at ORDA facilities in this issue. There’s something for everyone. Viking Ski N’ Cycle has come a long way from the founder’s garage in West Plattsburgh to its current location in front of Price Chopper on Route 3. And now the business is ready for another move as owners Dave and Barbara Collin turn the reins over to long-term employees who have begun a rebranding effort. We thank our employment law expert, Jacqueline Kelleher, for her insightful article in this issue about the many changes fac- ing businesses as we move into the new year. Make sure to read her article. It will help to sort out some of the confusion many of us are experiencing. And then there is our Insight feature, Stephanie Graudons, an outdoor enthusiast like few others. Stephanie is the perfect link between Pok-O-MacCready and the Adirondack Mountain Club. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Learn about her story in our center fold. Outdoor recreation is not just fun and games. It is an economic powerhouse in the United States, each year generating $646 bil- lion in consumer spending and creating 6.1 million direct jobs. In New York State it creates more than $34 billion in consumer spending and 305,000 jobs. And that’s good for business. Herbert O.

After years of traveling and living abroad, she and her family settled in the beautiful North Country where we celebrate an average high temperature of 53 degrees.1 Playing and enjoying the outdoors in this brisk weather requires dedication, interest and, above all, the proper gear. Manion can not only set you up with the latest gadgets, jackets, and boots, but if she has her way with you, you’ll have your feet strapped to a set of skis point- ing down the nearest mountain. Given her certification as a level 3 PSIA/AASI Ski Instructor she’ll also have you going from the bunny hill to a double black diamond in no time. Her motto is, “enabling people to have fun in a way that’s accessible.” That is precisely what she and her team at Maui North are doing. From Maui’s humble beginnings in a storage shed on Lake Champlain to their current downtown Plattsburgh location overlooking the beautiful Saranac River, “Maui” (as the locals have grown to call it) has created opportunities for everyone from newbies to enthusiasts to enjoy the outdoors in all sorts of weather. Manion’s approach is simple: get people in the store so she can get them outside. With our region’s inclination for cold weather, the outdoor recreation opportu- nities are limited only by the customer’s imagination. Manion’s job is to provide as many opportunities for people to get outdoors as she can. Kim Manion 1 http://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/ 6 plattsburgh/new-york/united-states/usny1143 MAUI NORTH—SKI, BIKE & BOARD CO. DECEMBER 2016 STRICTLY BUSINESS | 7 Snowsports “People come to see me for reasons ranging from looking for new equipment to their doctors telling them to get more exercise,” Manion explained. Getting people into the right snowsport equipment is her goal—a goal that seems fulfilling and natural. “My favorite is working with customers and helping them improve their experience.” Whether it be the right fit for a ski boot, a snowshoe, or a new board, Manion has made Maui a winter oasis for the new skier to the elite racer. Given her innate ability to create accessibility to snowsports, customers will find a range of equipment and programs available to them at Maui North. One of its most popu- lar programs for skiers of all levels its leasing program. Maui’s customers can come in, get fitted with the season’s newest gear and lease the equipment for the season. At the end of the season, the customer has the opportunity to purchase the gear at a discounted rate. Although the majority of the participants are younger skiers, this benefit is for anyone wanting to try out the sport or try out new gear. Maui’s customers' options expand beyond just boards and bikes. They carry a range of snowsport equipment including snowshoes, hiking gear, and other outdoor recreation equipment. Beyond equipment, customers can also take advantage of the range of gear maintenance services offered in the shop. Local Experts With the growth in online shopping, one thing that’s lost in the experience is local exper- tise. “There’s no one online that tells you to store your boots closed or to remind you to dry them out overnight if you’re on the mountain multiple days,” Manion explained. 20% OFF Competing with online prices is part of the industry challenge; however, her approach is “off-the-charts” customer service.

WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1902. 5% th,r SL')Lcttr and I-lonfW ofR~~~/,~~~sc)ltltli,'eS: I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of Agriculture, pre- pared in collaboration with the Department of the Interior, upon the forests, rivers, and mountains; of the Southern L4ppalachian region, and upon its agricultural situation as affected by t’lem. The report of the Secretary presents t#he final results of an investigation authorized by the last Congress. Its conclusions point unmistakably, in the judg- ment of the Secretary and in my own, to the creation of a national forest reserve in certain lyarts of the Southern States. The facts ascer- tained and here presented deserve the careful consideration of the Congress; they have already received the full attention of the scientist and the lumberman. They set forth an economic need of prime impor- tance to the welfare of the South, and hence to that of the nation as a whole, and they point to the necessity of protecting t,hrough wise use a mountain region whose influence flows far beyond its borders with the waters of the rivers to which it gives rise. Among the elevations of the eastern half of t.he United States the Southern ;Lppalachians are of paramount interest for geographic, hydrographic, and forest reasons, and, as a consequence, for economic reasons as well.

They were not and I decided to park halfway up the dirt road leading in a loop through the golf course. I even enjoyed this part of the walk since I’d never visited the area before outside of a car. Upon reaching the top of the hill, I noticed the serene setting, elegance of the main building and the beautiful view of Giant Mountain from the golf course. Sawteeth loomed opposite of Giant, behind us. We walked down the Lake Road to the trailhead sign-in book and began the three-mile journey leading to the trails. On this day, a sign saying that the trail was slightly rerouted greeted us. I wondered what this meant during the ensuing hour. My original intent was to hike Gothics, Armstrong and Upper Wolf Jaw.
