<title>Lack of &quot;white Christmas&quot; could leave ski resorts in the red</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18955/20111216/lack-of-quot-white-christmas-quot-could-leave-ski-resorts-in-the-red</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 16, 2011) For those in the skiing business, this year’s relatively warm temperatures and lack of snow are spelling trouble. Ski areas typically open around Thanksgiving and when there’s no snow on the ground, they make it.But it’s been too warm for snowmaking. Ideally, it should be about 10 degrees. So many areas in the northeast have been forced to delay opening. Others have been operating at reduced capacity. And that’s hurting the bottom line.

<title>Whiteface honors early ski pioneers</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18896/20111207/whiteface-honors-early-ski-pioneers</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 7, 2011) Seventy years ago today, a group of young skiers climbed Whiteface Mountain to build the first racing shelter at the top of what is now known as Wilderness Trail. Later that day, they came down the mountain to find out that Pearl Harbor had been bombed by the Japanese. Many went on to join the military in the early years of World War Two.Whiteface will honor the men on Sunday with a special ceremony that will include lectures and historical displays. While most of those pioneers of alpine skiing on Whiteface and that fateful day are gone, their stories and memories live on through their children and friends.  Todd Moe has more.

<title>ORDA builds appeal despite state budget cuts</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17923/20110629/orda-builds-appeal-despite-state-budget-cuts</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 29, 2011) The state Olympic Regional Development Authority is having one of its best years ever. ORDA operates and maintains a variety of Olympic venues across the Lake Placid region, including ski centers at Whiteface and Gore Mountains. State officials say heavy snowfall and a strong Canadian dollar translated into financial success. As Chris Morris reports, ORDA is looking to build off that success by getting creative with its marketing.
