Catskill Heritage Alliance Chairman Richard Schaedle, an avid skier who has skied at the Belleayre Mountain Ski Center for some 40-plus years, is joined by other members of the Save The Mountain coalition in enthusiastically celebrating the start of the ski season at Belleayre. “It’s the public’s ski center, and it deserves public funding,” Schaedle said.

The nearly empty Scoharie Reservoir and Gilboa dam under construction in background on August 25, 2006

Owned by City of New York Department of Environmental Protection, the Scoharie Reservoir holds 20 billion gallons of water. In October, 2005 the dam was found to be at risk of failure. 8,639 people live in the four towns within 20 miles downstream. The city now has an emergency repair in progress. Also, an improved portal intake is planned that should reduce turbidity in the water released into the Esopus Creek.
