Do you remember the Innsbruck USA ski area? It was opened in 1965, located in the Town of Binghamton. Maybe you sepnt some time learning and enjoying skiing at Innsbruck USA back in the 1960s and 1970s.
The Press and Sun-Bulletin ran a great then and now article back in March of 2018 about the ski areat. Innsbruck USA ceased to operate in 1979 for many reasons including financial troubles. The former ski area is now the Aqua-Terra Wilderness Area run by the Broome County Parks Department.
Blame whoever you want, because many will have different opinions, but the fact of the matter is, gas prices continue to rise.
The American Automobile Association (AAA) has reported gas prices have increased an average of four cents in New York as well as the entire country. Some New York cities are seeing prices increasing up to eight cents more per gallon.
The average price of gas in New York State according to AAA is currently at $2.60. The average price per gallon for regular gas in Binghamton is $2.59. Last week, the average price for regular gas in Binghamton was $2.55. One month ago, we paid an average of $2.45 and one year ago, that average price for a gallon of regular gas in the Binghamton area was $2.54, so we are paying about 4 cents more per gallon currently that we at this time in 2020.
