yea ive been there... sweet little place... i grew up in saranac lake up in the adirondacks and omg haha by this time there would be so much snow and ice

 

No kidding?!?! I lived there when I was a little kid, from '79-82 (pre-K, kindergarten, and 1st grade) - my dad was a VP at North Country Community College before accepting another position down in Florida (which is where I went before Binghamton). I went to St Bernard's right there in town across from Lake Flower. I even am still in touch with two of my best friends from that time. Hell, we moved to Binghamton when my dad took the presidency of Broome Community College here in Binghamton, and when he retired four years ago, the guy that took over was our neighbor in Saranac Lake. He lived three doors down from us, and his son was a friend of mine.

Oh, and you're not kidding about the cold and snow - I remember 4 feet on the ground and -20 or colder from October to May. Small world huh? When were you there?

 

i was there from when i was born til about 6.... i grew up on mt pisgah road and harriets town line (2 houses)... my dad was the one OBGYN doctor in that hospital for the longest time... i love my old house on pisgah road too... not to mention i could walk over to the slopes and ski for free cause we were good friends with the guy who ran the place. its so nice there now. my whole family lives up there too... we moved cause my dad got a new job and what not. Saranac is sweet though! so is Lake placid which is right there too...

i went sledding up and north country with my cousin to last winter. mad fun

 

Yep, I learned to ski at Pisgah - I was only a few minutes from there (although I can't remember my street name, even though I remember my phone number lol - 891-3603). It is a cool place though, and if you haven't been there in quite awhile, you won't believe how much it's grown. I miss Alice's Diner at the 3-way intersection in the middle of downtown, the Red Fox restaurant, and the Casa del Sol mexican restaurant - three of my favorite places up there.

 

red fox burned down and then they rebuilt it... real nice now... i ate there not long ago. i visit quite a bit

 

I heard that they had a fire and were reopened. The GF and I are going up there in the spring for a weekend just for the hell of it, and we're definitely going to go there.

 

couple more pics. I went snowboarding yesterday and took a pic at the summit and another on Loveland Pass which tops out at about 12,500'.

 

ugh I wanna ski so bad but no snow here looks like fun.
