Ski resorts open but running at low capacity
Area ski resorts opened but operate far below capacity as warm weather and sparse snow dampen turnout. Long Mountain reports two trails in use and poor snow conditions, while Holiday Valley has only three of 34 trails open and staff cuts. Weather records show warm December days in Syracuse and Buffalo, with several resorts relying on snowmaking to continue operations.

Greek Peak reports five thefts this season with 25-40 typical annual thefts. Cortland police note few reports so far, while rentals see fewer losses.

City demands tax payment before loan for four Crouse Ave houses
Landlord George Marks owes more than 38 000 in back taxes on four South Crouse Avenue properties slated for a 500 000 federal loan. He also owes over 15 000 in taxes and demolition fees on another city parcel. Councilor Hoffmann urged disqualification from the loan due to his poor payment history, while officials consider legislation to bar delinquent owners from rehab loans.
