To be clear Whiteface and ORDA are not in any trouble, that is an article that was written from information that was given in an option piece by a local environmental advocacy group. So yes ORDA is not in compliance with possible required permits but it does not seem like the enforcement agency cares to be honest.

This is the funny thing about whiteface. It is owned and run by the state, so its simplify the state choosing to ignore another part of the state. It won't get canceled. Some people will be angry, maybe a lawsuit will get filed. The stuff on the open ski runs will get pushed flat again so they can groom and...

The one benefit of having WBD behind this. Zero chance they allow it to be cancelled.

More info about WC DH in that one article than in a month’s worth of MTB media. Nice find! I love that one of the environmental terrors is named Walden. Get your permits! “So we’re dealing with our (alleged) history of being lax with the rules and a motivated environmental group…should we make sure it’s all on the up and up? Signed in triplicate? Nahhhhh dude pile up some doubles and I’ll start working on these berms in the trees!” Non-zero chance this gets canceled?

If the contractor had actually followed best management practices for soil stabilization, this probably would still be happening, but it would be less embarrassing for the trail building community.

Really all it takes is a detailed plan and early communication of what you are doing with state reviewers. You just cant go off into the woods with a excavator and tell people "I'm gonna build you something rad". Unfortunately I think ORDA has a history of this kinda infraction and now the local enviro advocates keep a really close...

"Under a three-year contract, ORDA agreed to pay Warner Brothers Discovery Sports Events Limited, partnering with Union Cycliste Internationale, $420,000 per year for the rights to host the cycling competitions." Guess it costs about 420k to host a XC and DH world cup now.... https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/community-news/government/orda-viola…

Just came across this article, local environmental group is pissed that Whiteface didn't get permits approved by DEC for the world cup track. Goes to show how tough it can be to build trails in the area, working in the Adirondacks is highly regulated. https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/community-news/government/orda-viola…

If YT announces they cannot pay these riders I will begin sabotaging every Decoy with 3” tires I see.

The truth is right now I bet contracts are not even signed so legit rumors of people talking to teams could prove to not be true. So may as well guess your favorite ride / team combo!
