    Date: 7/15/2020 Contact: Elise Ruocco, [email protected], 518.523.1655 WHITEFACE SKI MOUNTAIN ON SCHEDULE FOR 2020 SKI SEASON New Lifts and Snowmaking Improvements Will Be Ready for the 2020-2021 Winter Season Wilmington, NY – The Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) begins its summer construction season at Whiteface Mountain with a range of projects that will deliver greater lift capacity, enhanced snowmaking and a more robust online reservation platform. The first phase of the Midstation Lodge will be complete for the start of the 2020 ski season. The lodge will be a terrific spot for skiers and riders to take a break and warm up. It will be welcoming guests back this winter after the historic lodge burned to the ground last November. The old Bear Den lift is being replaced with a new quad lift system that uses a conveyor to make passenger loading easier. The lift is perfect for the beginner and families. It is located next to the Bear Den Lodge and will be completed this fall. The snowmaking system is being improved. New pumps are being installed in the expanded Ausable River Pump House, and on-mountain pipe and snow gun modifications will improve the system’s efficiency. (https://www.whiteface.com/side-trax/whiteface-mountain-upgrades) “Our team is working hard on these projects and getting ready for our guests,” said Aaron Kellett, Whiteface General Manager, “We know that the families who visit Whiteface will experience a world-class mountain that offers something for everyone.” Season passes are currently on sale, with the best prices available until September 2nd, 2020 and includes an assurance program that protects pass purchasers from the unexpected.

  • Cuomo Reveals $26 Million for Economic Development
    Cuomo reveals $26 million for economic development projects; Aviation / rail safety and security January 12, 2015 - Upstate New York Governor Andrew Cuomo revealed that $26.8 million in state funding is being awarded to 38 rail and aviation safety, security and economic development projects across the State. This funding will generate $36 million in new investments for transportation projects statewide. "New York remains a vital transportation hub, as well as a tourism destination, and this funding will help ensure travel to and in this state is safer, more convenient and more reliable," Cuomo said. "By investing in our transportation infrastructure, we are making long term improvements to our rail and aviation systems in order to better serve the people who use them, while also expanding economic opportunities throughout New York." New York State awarded $17.8 million in funding from the State's Passenger and Freight Rail Assistance Program to 12 rail projects that will repair and replace 65 miles of track and ties, rehabilitate rail grade crossings and bridges, and construct new connections to improve safety and operations. The state also awarded $9 million to 26 aviation projects through the Governor's Aviation Capital Grants Program. These investments will enhance airport safety and security, including taxi-lane striping and markings, runway and airfield maintenance, and installation of automatic weather observation stations. Other airport related improvements that will benefit from this funding include the construction and rehabilitation of new and existing airport terminals and aircraft hangars. "Since taking office, Governor Cuomo has made investment in transportation infrastructure the cornerstone of the State's economic development blueprint," New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald said.

Temperatures can fluctuate dramatically between day and night with variances as great as 50°. If you are going out early, bear in mind that it may warm up to 75° or even 80° at mid-day and, likewise, if you go out during the heat of the day, when the sun goes down, the temperature may plummet amazingly fast and you don't want to be caught out on a hike without warm clothes. Dress in layers and keep extras in the car or your knapsack. Most likely the days will be temperate, about 60 – 70 degrees but the nights will be cool, dropping quickly to 30 and 40 degrees. Foliage Season generally begins in early to mid-September and ends in mid-to-late October. Peak color in some areas often coincides with Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Beginning in early September, the Visitors Bureau provides weekly Foliage Reports that are updated on Wednesdays. Color Stage Description Percent Color No Change Still green 0% Just Some but low color Up to 25% Starting change change Mid-Point Moderate but lots of color Up to 50% change Near Peak High, bright color Up to 75% change Peak Color Brilliant, full color 100% Change Past Peak Spotty conditions, Finished dropping The map displayed below indicates the approximate order that Fall Foliage occurs throughout the region and may be at its best in a particular area.

For the first time in fifty years, a global pandemic forced the cancellation of our beloved two weeks of show jumping in the Adirondacks. But rest assured, this year we are coming back stronger than ever. We are all looking forward to getting back in the saddle for “the best two weeks of a horseman’s summer” Lake Placid is a special place to show, compete, and vacation. The quality and level of competition combined with our scenic lo- cation set our shows apart from the rest of the crowded summer riding circuit. For many obvious reasons, Lake Placid has emerged as a popular destination for show jumping and enjoys a fervent following among passionate equestrians. Outside of world-class show jumping, Lake Placid offers a myriad of recreational activities, including hiking, water skiing, hockey, rock climbing, canoeing, golf, and fly-fishing. The Olympic Village offers fine hotels, outstanding restaurants, luxurious spas, fun entertainment, and great nightlife. Welcome to our wonderful Adirondack horse show vacation! During our year off we did not rest. Management has been working tirelessly to identify and implement several improvements to our shows. Over the last five years, we have upgraded the footing, added new riding rings, and improved the overall facility.

  • Conservation of a Rare Alpine Plant (Prenanthes Boottii) in the Face of Rapid Environmental Change
    Conservation of a rare alpine plant (Prenanthes boottii) in the face of rapid environmental change Kristen Haynes SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry End of Season Report, 2014 Background The northeast alpine zone is one of our region’s rarest biological communities, comprised of a series of habitat islands totaling less than 35 km (figure 1; Capers et al. 2013). These mountaintop communities are hotbeds of local biodiversity, home to a suite of rare and endangered plant and animal species, including regional endemics as well as arctic species at the southern limit of their range. This biodiversity is now threatened by human-imposed environmental changes. Climate change is considered by Sala et al. (2010) to be the most important driver of biodiversity change in alpine ecosystems. Alpine communities are predicted to be highly susceptible to climate change for several reasons. First, high-elevation areas are warming faster than low-elevation areas (Wang et al. 2013). Second, the effects of climate change are predicted to be most severe for communities at climatic extremes, such as alpine communities (Pauli et al. 1996, Sala et al. 2010). Finally, the alpine biome is expected to contract as treelines and lower- elevation species move upward in elevation (Parmesan et al. 2006). There is already some evidence of advancing treelines and invasion of lowland species in the northeast alpine (Harsch et al. 2009; Nancy Slack, pers. comm.). In addition to climate change, northeast alpine species are threatened by high rates of nitrogen deposition and damage due to hiker trampling (Kimball and Weirach 2000). Figure 1.

  • 020809 VLP Nat'l History Tour
    ‘The Natural History Tour is going to take you away ... ’ By LEE MANCHESTER, Lake Placid News, August 9, 2002 Late this spring, a museum so new that it doesn’t yet have a home — the Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks, soon to be built in Tupper Lake — came out with an eight-page, color, glossy flier. We immediately dubbed it “The Natural History Tour.” The brochure gave North Country visitors descriptions of 38 spots scattered across the Adirondack Park where they could experience the area’s special geological and ecological history for themselves. I decided to drop in on a couple of the tour stops myself last Thursday. The places I chose were two very different sites: the Silver Lake Bog Preserve, near Au Sable Forks, and Poke-O- Moonshine, south of Keeseville. Silver Lake Bog My trip to Silver Lake started out as all such treks should start: I got lost.
