A bit of history from Friends of Mt Pisgah  - It's a 501c3 corporation. Donations are tax deductable. 20 years ago volunteers raised money and installed snow making.  10 years ago volunteers raised the money and built a new base lodge and now the 1950's T Bar is beyond repair and on its last legs.  

 The U.S. Ski Team is also participating at a cocktail fundraiser Sunday the 21st at The Fireside Steakhouse in Lake Placid from 4:30 to 6 with U.S.Team members. Cost for admission to this fundraiser is $50. A photographer will be present so that our racers can have their picture taken with a Ski Team member.
