Cajun Country In Schroon Lake

There's a crawfish boil this weekend, you won't wanna miss. Find out where in Food.

Gore! Gore! Gore! Powder! Powder! Powder!

Stating the obvious: this weekend is going to be the best weekend of the season to ski Gore Mountain, with the resort getting 12 inches of snow in the last 24 hours. That means 100 per cent of the mountain is open -- more than 40 miles of trials! That’s 95 of 'em, accessible by 9 lifts.

And did we mention there’s eight miles of glades!

This weekend season pass holders get to bring a friend who can ski at half price. And don’t forget to check out neat ways to save at Liftopia.

The forecast for Friday calls for cloudy conditions, high near 38 with south wind 5-9 mph.

Wildcats Win

We are hearing there are some pretty happy  -- and tired  -- 'ball players today, wearing big smiles after their decisive win over Crown Piont.

The Wildcat’s 67 – 39 victory yesterday in the Class D semi-final sends them to the Plattsburgh State Field House for the Section VII title at 12 noon this Saturday. Two of the standouts for Schroon Lake were Ian Williams with a career-high 27 points and Jesse Shaughnessy with 18 pionts, 11 assists and 14 rebounds. The Poststar has a full wrap of the game.
