Thanks to Jared Manninen from TahoeTrailGuide.com for this advice. We’re curious. Are readers able to buy cross-country equipment at mid-season? We’ve heard inventories have been depleted. Let us know.

Mike is the co-publisher of SeniorsSkiing.com. His skiing career started at Song Mountain NY in his college days. He worked for SKIING magazine in the early 70s, learned to love cross-country, took a 20 year hiatus from skiing and came back to short skis and efficient boots. When Jon Weisberg suggested there should be a site for senior skiers, he joined him in developing SeniorsSkiing.com.
Moved to Webster, NY on 1963. Looked for places to ski and did Greek Peak, Song Mountain, Tully, Labrador . . . but got my eye-teeth into skiing at a little place south of Buffalo called Glenwood Acres (now part of Kissing Bridge). Was there a place called Interlachin (Interlackin) that got bought up by a millionaire? Remember Song Mountain had all night skiing on weekends (for that college crowd?) Wife wouldn’t let me go.

Hi Jim, I remember many enjoyable (and cold) nights at Song Mountain, while part of the SU “college crowd.”Tully and Labrador also were fun areas. Don’t remember Interlachen. Are you thinking of Intermont? I instructed there one season. Was an upside down area…lodge on top. I think it was purchased by an individual who turned the lodge into his private home.Jon
