Last Call for Aspen - Killington Bus trips - Discount lift tickets   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #252 of 473 |
Hiya,
 
We're putting out a Last Call for Aspen. There are currently two spots left before
we go to the waiting list. If you're thinking about it - time to act!
 
We've also opened up the Killington bus trips in January and March. If you'd like to
sign up for a trip - just go here: http://www.ski-nyc.com/PlacesToGo.htm
 
Got Blackout dates? We know you do. And we've got the cure... Discount lift vouchers
that can be used on any holiday. And they're only 45 bucks until November 15th.
 
Andy

More info on the hike and the mountain:

This peak on the east side of the Hudson River sits atop a tunnel that was drilled out for Route 9D and Metro-North Railroad tracks.
This mountain goes right to the river's edge, giving you the feeling of looking directly down on the river. It is on the opposite side of the river from another significant valley peak -- Storm King Mountain.

The Views: Spectacular. Rocky crags with no trees allow for unfettered vistas up and down the valley. Hawks fly at eye level.
Storm King Mountain is directly across the river. West Point to the south and Newburgh Bridge to the north.

The Hike: Taking the "white" trail from 9D, the trail goes straight up as you climb over rocks. You'll need all four appendages to grasp and pull yourself up the mountain. It takes about an hour to reach the first of several lookout plateaus. The hike down is tricky, given the vertical drop of this trail.

History: Granite blasted from the sides of this mountain has been used to build the Brooklyn Bridge, West Point and the front steps of the capitol building in Albany. The scars to the mountain are clearly visible.
