New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made a trip to Plattsburgh this week to pitch a 20-million-dollar upgrade for the ski centers at Whiteface and Gore Mountains in the Adirondacks, to better compete with luxury resorts in New England, Quebec, and the western United States. Along with improvements to lodges and lifts, the state would build a zipline at Whiteface Mountain and a mountain coaster at Mount Van Hoevenberg to bring in tourists year-round. Cuomo also touted a 38-million-dollar grant that would build a cargo port at the Plattsburgh International Airport.
