HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT ONE STEP AT A TIME!!!!

CINDY YOUR EFQ buzzing with excitement from all of the great news from the ADIRONDACK COUNCIL. I am so proud to announce that in the month of December alone our eco-friendly resort has retired 132 tons of carbon dioxide emissions from Regional Power Plants. This was almost one third more from our original goal. This is our way to make all of our guests and the public understand that you can really help make a difference. (Oh the greenness is coursing through my veins….and cannot wait to continue with all these “green” efforts).

We worked jointly with the Adirondack Council and their Cool Park/Healthy Planet Carbon Retirement Program. This was developed to prevent thousands of tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted by power plants from Maine to Delaware.

Here is a quote from our very own Jennifer Holderied owner of the Golden Arrow that I feel must be shared. “We were so grateful to be able to work with the Adirondack Council again and take advantage of this program.” “What was really great is that for Christmas, our staff surprised us and retired 6 tons of carbon in our family’s name. It is rewarding to see we are all on the same page when it comes to sustainability.” Thank you so much Jenn for those kind and motivating words. (I am so glad that you are on the environment’s side and for that I am going to kiss the very earth we walk on…figuratively speaking…lol).

Before this green gal scadaddles… I want to mention that we have made a donation of $1100 to the Cool Park/ Healthy Planet Carbon Retirement Program. (way to go team!!!) Well, time for me to hit the road and spread more green efforts. Bye!!!

HOORAY!! A WEEKEND SKI PACKAGE!!!

You asked for it and now we are finally going to bring it to you! After many inquiries about a weekend ski package, it has finally became a reality. MS. DEAL MAKER here has been thinking long and hard about this package (yes the smoke was grinding out of my ears…tee-hee) and finally came up with a comporable ski package that everyone can enjoy. This package is available for the weekends only and I am sure that all of you hotdoggers and snow bunnies will want to take advantage.

This Weekend Ski and Stay Package is at a rate of $229 per person. It includes a Two Night Deluxe Lodging, a One Day Ski Pass for each individual to Whiteface Mountain and a Hot Piping Breakfast one morning at our relaxing Charlie’s Restaurant (be sure to say OHH! LA LA to Madame Cuisine) or a quick bagel and coffee across the street at Soulshine Bagel. If you feel one day of skiing is not enough for an additional $40 per person you can pick up an additional lift ticket and breakfast!!

Definetely time to head to Lake Placid and swoosh down the slopes and partake in this awesome package. Please do not forget about our Add-On Cross Country Packages for all of the non downhill skiers. Time for this gal to throw her skis on and chase down MR. FIX-IT, heard he was at the mountain today…hehe. Toodles!!!

GREAT NEW SUITE! SPACIOUS AND COZY ROOMS!

MR. FIX-IT here coming from the site of our new exciting suite that is about to be unveiled in less than a month. I know it has been a long time but I finally have got a few minutes to tell you about the improvements at the resort. My hands have been weared down to the nub preparing this brand new suite. (Literally, I think my callouses have grown callouses…lol). Anyway, per many guests request I have transformed two of our beach level rooms and combined them into one larger suite.

This exciting new suite is been dubbed the COLDEN SUITE, of course, named after one of the High Peaks in the Adirondacks. This two bedroom family suite is ideal for those who want to spend time on our private white sand beach. One bedchamber has an elegant king-size bed, a flat screen HDTV, a refrigerator, microwave, & coffee maker. The other bedroom has two queen size beds. The beds are dressed in a plush coverlet, high quality pillows, 200 thread-count sheets, & pillow-top mattresses. Each bedroom has a private glass door that opens onto Mirror Lake. The shared bath is adorned in marble complete with a glassed in multi-head shower. There is no bathtub in this room. I am hoping that you enjoy the long hard hours that have been put in to make this suite a reality. I am sure you will all enjoy nice long hours sitting out on the patio and looking at the pristine Mirror Lake.

OH! Please do not forget about the new wing of the resort and the extraordinary HAYSTACK and TABLETOP rooms.

They have been a very big hit since their unveiling this past summer 2008. (Believe me MS. DEALMAKER has been begging me to relax in Haystack’s oversized whirlpool tub…..what is a man to do…lol).

Pics of the new Colden Suite will be around soon..so stay tuned. Keep an eye out as many more improvements and who knows what new exciting rooms that my ole brain will come up with. Thank you for all of your support and advice…if you have a suggestion about a possible new room arangement please drop me a line on our GUESTBOOK. Until then, I see MS. DEALMAKER running down the hall, gotta dodge into the elevator, bye for now!!!

YAY! 2009 IS HERE!!!

Yes, it is hard to believe but 2009 has finally rung in. It was a very great year with all kinds of exciting events around the world and in our very own backyard in Lake Placid. RICH YOUR NEWSCASTER hopes that everyone enjoyed ringing in the New Year (I know this boy did-way too much cheer…lol).

On behalf of the Golden Arrow, I want to take this time to thank all of the patrons who have frequented our doors of the resort this year. We enjoyed each and everyone of our guests and look forward to another great year. You have helped us with many “Green” ideas for our Eco-Friendly resort and have taken them all into consideration. Our very own CINDY THE E.F.Q. has been busy organizing and implementing these ideas. The most exciting green event of the year was the instulation of our GREEN ROOF. Which many people have enjoyed this past year from the view of Charlie’s Restaurant.

Now that 2009 has begun, please check out all the great packages that MS. DEAL-MAKER has been busily working on. Just from looking at these deals they are definetely not to be missed. (We are all pulling for Ms. Deal-Maker to finally catch and snare Mr. Fix-IT….lol)

If you have any stories that you would like to share about your stay in 2008, please drop a line on our GUESTBOOK. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Stay tuned for more to come and hope that all of you have a great and wonderful 2009!!!!!
