Holy shit, you aren't kidding. I used to ski there prettty often as a kid, had a season pass one year. It doesn't snow there as you seem to be aware. Get a couple inches on the hill, drive 5 miles to Windsor and they'd have a foot.
Any idea what's going on there these days? Looks like just a t-bar and a rope tow down low lookers left where they had that beginners' chair, and nothing open up higher?
They just got the T together recently. The place has been down for at least a couple of years. They removed pretty much all of the infrastructure a while back and the place turned into an awesome mountain bike zone. Really really good. It's slowly turning into a ski area again, like you saw the lower mt is coming together now and it's good for uphill travel above that. When the snow is good it sees a fair bit of traffic, unfortunately that isn't often.

truckers have no F'ing clue when it comes to the Westchester parkways. can't tell you how many shaved tops I've seen over the years. this one was mild.
those WPA-era bridges were built like battleships.
That one is fairly new, within the last few years. They've been widening and replacing everything on the Hutch for a while now. My favorite is when they try to go in the center and it shuts the road down.
One time I was driving over a bridge on Rt. 3 west leaving the Lincoln Tunnel and just outside the Meadowlands. I was in my 85 Golf, god bless that little fucker, with snow tires up front it was awesome, but at this moment I watched some sort of frame around an open walled trailer in front of me that I was, fortunately, tailgating, just detach and soar over my car and nail the Volvo about six car lengths behind me. It was one of those lucky moments.

Not upstate but always a classic.
Yellow beam is very solid.
Just make the bridge a smidge higher and 50% of the accidents would be avoided, Make it maybe one foot higher and 90% of the accidents would be avoided. But no, engineer that bridge to destroy any box truck that it comes in contact with.
the bridge has a wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfol...treet_Overpass
long story short they did raise it as much as they could and it was only 22 hours after they reopened it that the next wreck happened.
Could watch all day!
