I’m enjoying these Utica Club TRs.

UC for me!

What resort (or ski hill is that)? Looks a bit like Kissing Bridge lift area, but could be a number of gray lift structures like that in New York- they paint them to match the skies I guess.

[hatchgreenchile]

That's not Kissing Bridge.
Plus, if that was taken in WNY, that case would be Blue, Molson or Old Vienna.

That’s Snow Ridge. Turns out it’s an awesome place. I still need to get to McCauley.

Are those trees any good? They look pretty tight but that's not a good angle.

If this next storm comes in on the trajectory it's starting to look like the Fingerlakes snow zones are gonna get hammered from the coastal and the wide open lakes. Bristol, Lab and those spots are gonna get smoked.

They were really good. Just to skiers’ right of that lift is an old t bar line in the woods that was fun and over on skiers’ left there are lots of good trees. Harvey posted a few pics in ECRC

You were skiing with him? Ahh now I unnerstand

You forgot Genny Cream Ale. ( I do not see much Old Vienna in WNY- but I don't drink beer either)

And you are right the one I was thinking of at Kissing Bridge has a lift line arch opening on the left side.

I've ridden that T-Bar switch more than once. Some of those times it was even on purpose.

Genny is more of a ROC thing. The regional beer breakdown was covered mid thread!

I’m willing to go over the regional beer preferences again if that’s helpful. On a related note, a guy I know from way back opened a brewery here in the disputed region a couple years ago- Industrial Arts Brewery. It’s slowly but surely finding its way to other parts of the state. If you see it, I recommend trying it. Nice guy and good beer.

In Ellicottville, despite having the namesake brewery, they'll offer you a Labatt first and foremost. Two if you're wearing a Sabres sweater.

I'm guessing 3 if you're in a Bills Mafia getup this year.

Industrial Arts is outstanding. Feel free to send some out this way.

For a moment today the lake effect clouds parted and the sun shone down on Cortland NY to bath us in glorius light.





It was too early in the day or I would have hoisted a Cream Ale for you all.

Which location? I've been to Beacon.

Dude that brewery is great. I like the setting in the summer.

[Brownski]

r.

The other location in Garnerville. But I’ve mainly been picking it up in retail stores around here.

[evdog]

Is there any other state with this issue?

I'm a bit late to this thread, don't have anything useful to add. To answer the above question on page 1 though - where does Socal end and Norcal begin is often debated here on the best coast.

[MakersTeleMark]

Too early for what?

San Luis Obispo, IMO

They get ornery like nobody's business if you make the mistake of calling that area part of SoCal.

I think Florida may have a similarly hostile level of regionalism. I worked with a native Floridian (from Gainesville I think) who was really offended that I’d only been to the Orlando area and judged the whole state based on that.

Looks like you need good wax there.

Is it too thin to ski lookers left there?

[huckbucket]

Is it too thin to ski lookers left there?

Nope. Boot top goodness. Just avoid the woods until they get another 6 inches. Mostly flat as Timber suggests, but perfect for digging trenches. And some really tasty looking trees with short, steep shots. Would bang (again)

[Brownski]

It’s skiable- not sure why they only groom half that trail. They do lots of stuff their own way at Greek. Lots of red light/green light traffic control devices. One trail even has a stop sign at an intersection
