Spring Break Party At Gore 

On Saturday afternoon at Gore Mountain, it appeared that there were more folks on the sun deck than the slopes, as skiers took the opportunity to get a big dose of vitamin D, while enjoying a few amber ales and some barbecue under brilliant blue and sunny skies.

Folks had set up their own grills, enjoying a variety of sausages and burgers. There were long lines at the outdoor Open Pit Grille and an appreciative crowd at the Tannery Pub enjoying a local band, whose name we didn't catch.

Spring Like Weather This Weekend

With temps forecast in the 40s this weekend, it's gonna start feeling a lot like Spring. While a few flakes today might leave less than a inch of the white stuff on the ground, Saturday is going to be positively stunning, with a high of 43 degrees predicted by the National Weather Service.

Sunday is going to reach almost 50! What are your weekend plans? Tell us in comments.

Zumba For Baby Boomers!

Schroon Laker, mother, farmer, runner, flash mob instigator, and all around fitness guru Anna Hay (in the middle) is enthusiastic about everything she does!

And the latest chapters in that God blessed life have ranged from a massive weight loss, to her new gig: becoming a certified Zumba instructor. Now Anna has recently been certified to teach a special type of Zumba. It's for Baby Boomers, and its known as Zumba Gold.

Zumba Gold takes the fast paced Zumba formula and slightly modifies the moves and pacing for the 'boomer set.

What stays the same, says Anna, are all the elements the Zumba fitness party is known for: the zesty Latin music of salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton, the exhilarating, easy-to-follow moves and the invigorating, party-like atmosphere. Hee Haw!

Anna says it’s the perfect fit for active older adults who want camaraderie, excitement and fitness on a regular basis.
