Don't go to this store if you are seeking good customer service!! They don't seem to care at all…read moreabout their customers here. Four of us came in from out of town to ride this weekend and one bike had an issue with the pedal and crank threads. This store was the only store who had the helicoil thread repair we needed in stock but they were too backed up in their service department to work on the bike same day. We asked instead if we could buy the part we needed and take it to another store who had capacity to fix it today. They refused to sell us the part. We even offered to buy the part and pay for an hour of labor without them needing to do the labor to compensate them for their time. They still refused and when they saw how disappointed we were they smiled and said have a nice day as we were leaving as if to say how happy they were that they would not help us get back on the mountain today. Btw, the woman we were talking to said she was the manager so this wasn't a case of just an ill advised employee but rather just bad management decision. Advice to the owner and management of this store: try harder. Customer service is important. You should care more about your customers. Needless to say, we won't be going back to this store. I would not advise that you do either. Unless bad customer service is what you are seeking.

The Ascutney Trails Association (ATA) in collaboration with Powder Horn Trail Co. of Belmont, NH,…read moreAscutney Outdoors and the Town of West Windsor, is excited to announce breaking ground on the Ascutney Flow Trail & Skills Park Project. The project is an e-bike friendly, enduro-style zone comprising three brand new downhill-only mountain bike flow trails and a skills development area. The downhill flow trails will be located within the active-use portion of the Ascutney Outdoors ski area, in the vicinity of and above the 42nd Street, Fifth Ave and Broadway mountain bike trails. This project expands the existing MTB trail network to a significantly higher point on the mountain. The Skills Park will be on the lower mountain directly above the Ascutney Outdoors Center.

Okemo was my first Vermont ski experience, and it absolutely delivered. I took the Paragon Sports…read morebus up from New York for what I believe was a three-day weekend, skied Saturday and Sunday, maybe squeezed in a half day Monday, and came back that afternoon. It was definitely cold, but we caught beautiful sun and good conditions, so the whole trip felt worth it almost immediately. Jackson Gore was the highlight for me. The day we were there, it was pretty empty, and we were able to lap that area over and over again with no real lift line. There is a particular kind of joy in skiing 10 to 20 uninterrupted laps when the sun is out, the snow is holding up, and nobody is making you fight for space. Compared with the massive resorts out west, Okemo is obviously a different kind of mountain. Still, the terrain volume felt excellent for Vermont, especially because the trails were well kept, accessible, and easy to keep moving through. The whole place felt comfortable without being sleepy, polished without being sterile, and family-friendly without losing the actual fun of skiing. Ludlow and the surrounding area also add a lot to the experience. It has enough Vermont charm and alpine presence to make you feel genuinely away from New York, the tri-state area, or any other Northeast city you might be escaping from for the weekend. I only went once, but I left wanting to come back, bring my kids, and use Okemo as a starting point to explore more of the region.

I came here to ski on a Thursday morning. I was able to easily park in the main parking lot and…read morewalk to the lodge which was within a reasonable distance. Parking was free. From the main lodge are a couple of very short and slow lifts that take you up to areas which give you access to additional lifts. I really liked the variety of runs and that it wasn't overcrowded. I would love to try some of the other sections of the mountain in the future. The terrain park looks fun (if you're into that). My only complaint was how slow most of the lifts are... but that didn't detract much from my overall experience.

Tubbing is great , except for the line that pulls you back up the hill . That is simply terrible , difficult to get out of and it's just a matter of time before someone gets injured trying to come out of it . I almost fell on the other side of the line and the staff just stood there and made no attempt to help , with that I injured my hand trying to hold on to the line .

This past visit I was absolutely thrilled with the lift crew on Bear Mountain. I think they enjoyed my company as much as I did theirs. The fresh snow made it easy to ski all day.

We bought snowboard boots there about a month ago, and that experience was great. But what really…read moreset them apart was the service a month later to see if the boots could be refitted after some discomfort with their use. Randy took the time to really evaluate the needs of my daughter, the rider. He explained various reasons why her foot shape may cause pain and worked to expand the boots in certain spots. He took a lot of time to make sure the fit was just right. In this day and age of home delivery and service through bots, it was so nice to experience a company that stands behind their product, even after the sale. Highly recommend!

Except this time we had three members of the family bought boots. Every aspect of our experience was top notch. Max, the boot fitter, is an expert. As well as a personable individual. As well as a good salesman. The store is an emporium of anything related to skiing, boarding and cycling. They carry a huge selection of clothing and accessories too. Impressive place. Minutes away from the Skyeship Gondola. And hands down, about the best I've seen.

You can't get answers on anything..."which trail has bumps and jumps" staff " I don't know the mountain well". Bartenders are super slow....for paying over 100K you should get great service....I could get a drink at any public mountain faster and better service. The spa is nice, but they use temps for massage. The locker rooms in the gym are way too hot...near 75-80 degrees constantly....try cooling down after a suana or a workout and expect not to sweat after a shower..nope. Don't even bother with this place...you end up waiting in lines just like any other ski mountain. It is basically a place for affluent people that want their kids to be occupied all day by staff while they sit and read by a fire.

I especially enjoy starting near Schenectady Community College - an easy-to-spot local landmark with lots of room to park for group run meet-ups, a small track space perfect for timing splits and speedwork, and plenty of benches and grasses spaces for stretching and chatting before/after a walk, run, bike, or blade. The path varies in flatness, tree cover, nature-views, and frequency of traffic crossing, offering a nice variety for any activity. I've spotted loads of unthreatening wildlife while on the path, including turtles, deer, snakes, ground hogs, beavers, and many different birds, squirrels, and enjoy being near the water and especially stopping at the locks to stretch, rest, or fuel mid-long run, too. [extra garbage cans, tables/benches, and proximity to other humans makes it feel like a safer space to slow, perhaps?] I am hopeful that the Color the Canal project will return for the third year in 2021, which creates visual and sculptural art to welcome the CEC cyclists riding from Buffalo to Albany each July.

Much of it was in the woods along an old railroad right-of-way, so there were plenty of trees providing shade. A couple of clearings allowed for sightlines of the expressway but it wasn't too noisy. One area had a bench, picnic table, and informational display about the location of the old Troy Iron Works. A few areas had cutaways in the trees for sightlines to the river. I wish there was more to see or do along the trail, and it would have been appreciated to have some more benches or tables or whatnot to rest on. But, the area in Watervliet where the parking lot is had a couple of tables.
