Adirondack Mountain Pants

Turn back time, it’s 1980 in Lake Placid New York. The Olympics have come to town. You planned this years in advance and have arrived in this snowy paradise and checked into your luxurious room at the Mirror Lake Inn, how fancy of you. (google it, it’s gorgeous).  You have tickets to the semi-finals of the Men’s Hockey tournament pitting our ragtag US team against the Soviet Union - USSR - the heavy favorites, boo hiss. Gametime is 7pm, you dress appropriately for the weather donning your new Adirondack Mountain Pants, a straight fitting sturdy pant for warmth and added stretch for climbing all the steps at the hockey arena in the Olympic village. There is an electric buzz in the air, can the US pull this off.   Lead by the legendary goalie Jim Craig, the team takes the ice with roars from the crowd. You settle into your seat with a nice cold beer and a hot pretzel.  A hush settles in, the puck is dropped.  DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES……?
