Lost Ski areas

Today the Boys and I went for a ride and visited two Ny lost ski areas. One area near Hunter Mt called Cortina and another one near Andes called Bobcat
Hunter mt stilled had some snow in various spots on the mt having been closed since the end of March
Cortina and Bobcat are small ski areas lost in the past and will not likely ever see action again. Oh to be able to jump back to a time where these small areas were turning the lifts and putting smiles on the small family crowds that graced the slopes. We starred up at the widest slope at Bobcat and for a few moments it was covered in snow and skiers were carving their way down.
On the ride home we talked about Bobcat having lights,snow making and a terrain park and then some day awaken again and providing night time skiing in the Catskills.
