that would suck.
to tell the truth, perhaps we should be satisfied with whatever both mtns accomplish in this economy. wonder how season pass sales are going?
I've been told that Whiteface is going to do away with the NASTAR course this season. Has anyone else heard about this?

Well, on a similar, but unrelated note, Whiteface had the best schwaggg by far at this weekend's Ski 'n Snowboard Expo.Originally Posted by Snowballs
Smuggs, and Kmart were a surprising no show, as was Ski Market, and many of the other regulars.
Not exactly a surprise, but still a sad commentary on the current state of affairs.
Regardless, I'm luvin' my new Whiteface/Lake Placid, "no thank you to paper, or plastic" grocery bag.
Yes, NASTAR is gone from Whiteface, at least for this season.
Three reasons were sited:
1. budget
2. 3 week closure would be necessary due to World Cup and NORAM SkierX
3. It was deemed that more space was needed for tower 10 hill.
um if you didn't see one post before yours there still will be NASTAR.Originally Posted by whipple
Not sure if it will help, but there's an on-line petition to try to save NASTAR at the following URL:Originally Posted by whipple

I just copied it from the website. Whipple would know the lastest about NASTAR at WF for sure.Originally Posted by nyspnypd
It's been so popular at WF that this really catches me by suprise.

well, there is no Whiteface in official "Where to Race (2009/10 Season)" list:Originally Posted by nyspnypd

so, I assume there will be no Nastar at WF. There is one at Gore though
I heard that whiteface management let the employees that staff Nastar know that they will not be running Nastar
the website is not update yet on this
They site the budget as a cause but at the same time they are expanding the park to include Broadway which will be closed to regular traffic. next year they want to also continue the park on to mid valley below the mid station to danny's brigde. What's next a park on mt run or skyward?
it costs at least 10 times more to run and maintain a park compared to a regular slope so spending more on parks and cutting Nastar seems ill advised
if you want to save Nastar please go and sign the petition and write a letter to Bruce to let him know your opinion
