I stumbled upon an abandonded ski resort yesterday called Highmount, turns out it’s a stone’s throw from Bellayre Mtn. (We’re in the western part of the Catskills, of upstate NY, for those of you who don’t know)
Here’s a map, zoom in and go to aerial image to see it.
This is an excerpt of one panorama I shot while I’m up there. Not sure if it’s the best one out of what I shot, but it was the easiest to stitch together earlier today:
I always find abandonded ski resorts fascinating. Most are relics of the heyday that skiing had in the 80’s; having not researched it much yet, I’d have to gamble Highmount closed in the early 90’s. There’s a bunch of engravings on the top station tower from ‘95 and ‘98, which I don’t think could have been made while the resort was open. If anybody knows anything about Highmount, let me know!

Shot this last weekend at the Windham spring rail jam, 2nd year in a row showing up to that one.
I’m back in town (home), finally got the car fixed, and finally have some free time. w00t!

Took another trip up to Mount Snow today, got some shooting done early before the weather and the snowguns kicked in. Big thanks to the guys at Mt. Snow for us up, definitely saved the day.

First time on snow this season, broke out the new Pocket Wizards and shot this. Overall not too bad for first time out with the new flash rig.
