Plans to develop a ski resort in Tupper Lake promise to bring jobs to the area and improvements to the ski experience.
The plans are centered around Mount Morris and 859 of the 6, 261 acres which surround it. Thus, 85% of the land, in addition to state-protected areas, will remain untouched open space.
Once completed, the new building will be known as the Adirondack Club and Resort, or ACR.
According to Preserve Associates, the developing company, Mount Morris is unique because it is the only operational ski hill held privately in the Adirondacks.
The project is predicted to create nearly 600 permanent jobs in both the ski area and resort operations.
So far developments are in planning stages, but the company is hoping to begin construction soon.

What do you think of having a ski resort in the Adirondacks? Tell us your thoughts!
I think your blog borders on wonderful. You announce the coming of the resort and direct your readers to contact one of the most hostile anti-resort, anti-development lobbying groups in the Adirondack Park to learn more. Why not direct your readers to the National Association of Manufacturers to find out more about unions or, perhaps, you should direct your readers to the Syrian government to learn more about the Syrian protestors. Have you thought about a somewhat more balanced approach like directing your readers to the Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce or a local community group like ARISE to learn about more about the tactics and practices of the Adirondack Council? I seem to remember from school that it sometimes is useful to open minded people to hear both sides and make reasoned decisions.
Good point Michael, do you have any contact information for these other organizations? Phone number? URL?
