Sliding down a mountain

Skilift is kinda shaky. At the end you ride down in a sled. How
awesome is that. I wonder why none of our WNY ski resorts add
something like this. You can go really freakin fast.

Wooo!! They have one of those in Rotorua in New Zealand. Seriously fun - the one there has some sharp-ish drops that you can get decent air off if you go quick enough.

More places need stuff like this.

that seriously looks like the most fun ever!!! they have those in CO, and i think all the way upstate near canada at the skit resorts there... was there an olympics there once?

Buffalo Bobsledding. "Sanka, ya dead yet?"
heidi - 08/13/09 16:08
That is so cool! It's just like the Jamaican luge team's practice area!

I went on something similar at a resort in Collingwood Ontario, it is an absolute blast. It does make wonder why Holiday Valley hasn't taken the plunge.

I just try to remember those who are experienceing severe drought, or typhoons. having so much rain sucks, but it could always be worse.
james - 08/13/09 10:18
That wasn't fog, that wad haze. The super heat and the super humidity is fogging out the sun like a lid over steamed cauliflower.
tinypliny - 08/13/09 09:22
HEHEHEHE....
Its excellent in Buffalo right now and will be throughout this weekend. (This morning was super foggy though. What was up with that? It was bizarrely spooky at around 5:40 AM)

I already miss the island

We decided to head south to the ledges but unfortunately we hit a one
day bad weather patch which trapped us in a motel for today ;(

lilho - 08/13/09 12:03

james - 08/13/09 07:58
Then you shouldn't have signaled for help with that coconut radio, Professor.

It's zillow :::link:::
and there are house for that much all over. There are even houses over 1 million. Seems like the buffalo market didn't crash, or at least not as bad as the rest of the country.
libertad - 08/08/09 20:50
I think a lot of the houses on Linwood are around that range now. There is some website you can go to that tells you how much houses are valued at but I forgot what it is.
carolinian - 08/08/09 20:47
$500,000 for a house in Buffalo? WTF? I thought the only place in Buffalo where houses sold for $500,000 was the Nottingham terrace area.
theecarey - 08/08/09 01:14
I love their backyard/pool set up. The interior was fun to go through, but I don't remember much about it.
metalpeter - 08/07/09 19:57
Guessing it is about $500,000 out of my price range, ha.
oda - 08/07/09 19:18
I'm looking to buy a house, but more in the $70,000 range. The "dream house" we found in Strykersville (east of East Aurora) was taken away from us yesterday while we were trying to make our bid on it, by some buyers who agreed to pay cash for the house. Paying for a house in cash means that the sellers don't need to do anything, so our real estate agent told us we really couldn't do anything to beat their offer.

I hope you get nice neighbors!

They are building a house somewhere else.
leetee - 08/07/09 18:44
