点评:We had been coming to Cascade for years. This is the first time that we have been here since it was purchased by the ADK mountain club.
Notably one of the few ‘improvements’ they made was to remove one of the 2 toilets in the ladies room and to turn it into a single ‘all genders’ restroom. I did not check what used to be the men’s room for similar ‘improvements. There is still an exposed toilet flange on the floor, some significant water damage to the wall and it appears that the bathroom has not been cleaned since they took over. The bathroom is worse than most gas station bathrooms.
The bar is closed. There is no longer food. There are fake candles in the fireplace.
The common areas are filthy.
There is still a shop with a friendly staff. The staff would have 4* on their own because though not super knowledgeable they were friendly and attentive.
The selection is much more limited in terms equipment and there is no longer ski clothing.
The trails are pretty rough despite the 2ft base and though are tracked in some places they are clearly not maintained with the same regularity.
I wouldn’t come here again.
As an alternative try Scott’s Cobble lake placid or Dewey Mountain Saranac lake. Both Scott’s Cobble and Dewey have rentals. They have clean bathrooms or locker rooms Dewey has a wax room and a kitchenette for visitors use. Scott’s cobble has an outdoor fire pit and a cafe that is sometimes open. The Vic also has a ski shop and rentals but they recently got a bunch of state money and the new facility is quite commercial and impersonal.

值得注意的是,他们所做的少数“改进”之一是拆除女厕所中的两个厕所之一,并将其变成一个“所有性别”的洗手间。我没有检查曾经是男厕所的地方是否有类似的“改进”。地板上仍然有一个暴露的马桶凸缘,墙壁上有一些严重的水渍,而且看起来自从他们接管以来,浴室就没有打扫过。浴室比大多数加油站的浴室还要糟糕。
酒吧关门了。不再有食物。壁炉里有假蜡烛。
公共区域很脏。
仍然有一家商店,员工很友好。员工本身就应该有 4 星,因为虽然不是知识渊博,但他们很友好,很细心。
设备方面的选择非常有限,而且不再有滑雪服。
尽管有 2 英尺厚的地基,但步道仍然相当崎岖,虽然有些地方有痕迹,但显然没有按照同样的规律进行维护。
我不会再来这里了。
作为替代方案,请尝试 Scott’s Cobble 普莱西德湖或 Dewey Mountain Saranac 湖。Scott’s Cobble 和 Dewey 都有出租。他们有干净的浴室或更衣室,Dewey 有供游客使用的蜡房和小厨房。Scott’s Cobble 有一个室外火坑和一个有时开放的咖啡馆。Vic 还有一家滑雪商店和租赁店,但他们最近获得了大量州政府资金,新设施非常商业化,没有人情味。
