You may have reached the end of the internet. It's time to turn back my friend.

Awesome

Can someone please edit the wiki page to link to this thread as a reference?

[grskier]

Damn the Wikipedia entry on upstate reads like one of us could have written it. They hit most of the controversies but somehow the article doesn’t mention the Simpsons song.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstate_New_York
And I learned something about linguistics too. Apparently the pop v soda controversy has been recognized by science

That's some weird validation there eh.

Excellent idea. This thread is primary source material. A link to the wiki page would surely create some kind of internet centipede that would probably melt the server closet down for good.

Do we want some 5th grader doing a book report on Upstate NY coming to the Padded Room?
I'm an adult and this place scares me.

Might be safer than the ECRC.

We can link this Wikipedia page to the ECRC thread. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup

Please tell me someone will do that. Not sure how often the Soup wiki page gets visited but even if it sent one poor soul into that thread to be eaten alive (pun intended) it would be worth it.

begs the question, where would upstate be within TGR?

[BmillsSkier]

Padded Room south to Bullfighting, north to Ski/Snowboard, portions of Ask TGR and absolutely none of Tech Talk.

interesting zonal approach

Ski areas with great food for $100.

I lived fifteen minutes away from that place for three seasons, and never skied there.

I know upstate New York and you sir are no upstater.

[Benny Profane]

Gore was about 40 minutes more. C'mon.

Edit: Glen Plake shamed me when he dropped in and did a day there when he was doing his small ski hill tour.

It might be entertaining to be a fly on the wall when that kid goes downstairs for dinner and tells his dad that he found this place.

I see what you did there and I appreciate it... And yes

Awesome. I miss a good night ski.

Who pissed in your soup, Ben?

[Benny Profane]

Never night skied either.

[retirwntm]

Night skiing is the sad privilege of the mid Atlantic skier. The only thing that makes it ok is smoking drinking or sucking face on the chair. Or all three.

Night skiing is awesome. It’s not too late

[Benny Profane]

I lived for a few months two seasons in a row in Dillon, and could see Keystone off my deck glittering at night like a constellation, but never did that, either. Well, actually, I never skied Keystone, period. Why, with ABasin up the road?

Nighttime is for drinking.

Ah, that takes me back. Night skiing was a hangout. And a good party at that. Pound some bumps hit some jumps, burn some cheeb and too many grits.

Grab some room temp beers you stashed in your season locker with your buddies and post up on the bench outside by the lift to make out with your girl.

FM on the PA system, the sound of skis carving on 259 vertical feet of powder/packedpowder/ice/corn/rocks, and someone screaming “YARD SALE” from the fixed triple.

Night skiing was skiing, sure, but it was how Midwesterners, and Upstaters, and MidAtlanticians learned how to après.

Night skiing out west just doesn’t hold the same caché. There’s no youthful romance to it.

Your loss Ben, I’m sorry.

I took my son up for his school's ski club. Since I tore my ACL and am out for the season I sat in the parking lot with what seemed like 100 + non skiing parents. West has a great low key mom and pop vibe and the kids have a ball.

I've driven by it 1000+ times heading to Gore but never skied there until my kids joined ski club.
