RICH YOUR NEWSCASTER finally back at you after a short break. Hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving and spent time with your family and loved ones!! Hope you did not eat too much (boy did I, think the waist gained a few inches…lol). Now that “turkey day” is over it is time to make those plans for the upcoming Holiday Season!

As of today, our first snowfall is falling in the air as I speak! Expected is 3-5 inches of snow! The news from WHITEFACE MOUNTAIN is that they will be able to start making the much needed snow and trails should be open within the next few weeks. YAY! For all of you avid skiiers just itching, to get on the slopes. The snow is finally coming….yippee!!

Now is the time to call the Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort to book your ski or holiday vacation. We still have plenty of our Deluxe Guest Rooms and Suites or Specialty with fireplaces to roast those toes after a long winter day! Do not forget as of December 18th our restaurant in the Golden Arrow will be run by a new management team with exciting new options to enjoy for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are keeping our very own MADAME CUISINE in the kitchen to whip up thoses delectable delights that all of our guests have come to enjoy.

OH! One other thing before I rush away and enjoy making a snow angel outside. Almost forgot that my very own friends, staff members of the Golden Arrow, “THE THREE CRAFTY WITCHES” have opened up their very own craft store inside the Golden Arrow’s very own ALPINE MALL. Everything is handcrafted and I am sure you will be able to find that special gift for your loved one. Please check them out, Cindy, Sunny and Amanda while you are in Downtown Lake Placid and tell them Richard sent you for your very own discount. (Sorry, girls discounts discounts…hehe…had to do it). For now everyone get that Holiday Shopping done and I look forward to meeting each and everyone in Lake Placid.

I know we are all thinking about snow! What you were not? Well, for shame!!!! Time for all of you “snow bunnies and hot doggers” to get your plans together and get ready for the slopes of WHITEFACE MOUNTAIN. What better time to prepare for the upcoming ski season than to partake in the new ski packages I am offering. Believe me these are some packages that you do not want to miss!

We are offering a great deal where you STAY 2 NIGHTS & SKI 2 DAYS AND WE WILL THROW IN THE 3RD NIGHT STAY AND 3RD DAY OF SKIING ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!!. (I know this girl has lost her head right) This package is available during the midweek for skiing on Monday through Thursday and not available during the holidays. Time to enjoy the pristine slopes of WHITEFACE MOUNTAIN and do not forget there is slopes available for all types of downhill skiiers. Whiteface will be firing up their snow guns as of November 11th and making that fresh powder. You can sign your child up for their own private lessons at Kidz Campus and enjoy a relaxed day of skiing.

They are eagerly awaiting for your call! Time is running out and you will be upset that you did not take place for this one time deal!!! Please keep a look out for our other ski packages that will be available to book after , but do not wait that long as this is the best deal that you will receive for this ski season. Okay! Enough nagging I guess, time to put my head back in the books and come up with some more great savings. Have a great day and look forward to seeing everyone on the slopes this winter season.
