And on March 4, 1934, skiers — 378 of them — climbed aboard a Delaware and Hudson train in Schenectady and rode the 60-mile trip by rail to North Creek.
This winter, some 90 years later, that historic train ride and some of the skiers aboard that day are being celebrated for their place in winter-sports history.

When it comes to development, everybody has heard of the concept of NIMBYism Not In My Back Yard.
But the Asheville area also experiences another form of anti-development backlash, one fueled by folks who move here from other areas, sometimes into relatively new developments. And then they want development to stop. That s a real thing, said former Buncombe County Development Director Jim Coman, who retired in 2010. We used to call it IGMSY I Got Mine, Screw You. I ve already moved here, I m happy and don t you dare come.
To be clear, Coman, a Buncombe County native whose roots go back to Revolutionary War-era ancestors, believes all residents of an area have a right to voice concerns about potential development and the rules their communities operate under. That s a fundamental right that comes with being American.
