Picked the wrong business. Should have sold ski equipment.
If Gore is going to make the ski bowl the Adirondack Mecca for cross country programs than a small Nordic ski shop would be the best. The right location for that though would be where the little sandwich shop on 28/28N use to be (I think some one lives there now). A low overhead business with Nordic (winter), Bikes (summer), Hiking (fall) & bug repellent (spring) might do OK.
Don't ski the trees, ski the spaces between the trees.
