BearCam: The Dream

Posted on by Harvey

How much would it cost to put a webcam on top of the gondi building on Bear Mtn? Same setup as Whiteface.

It’d be HighRes. And you could swivel it TOWARDS the GORE SUMMIT, down onto the top of Bear, or towards Foxlair, Topridge, Pine Knot, or Fairview.

Could a decent unit with internet be installed for … how much? I have no idea. How hard is it to get an internet connection for the Summit of Bear?

If anyone knows what it would cost… please post a comment.

BearCam would promote skier visits, Gore Awareness and GORE STOKE.

Daily Snow Reports

Posted on by Harvey

We’d like to link to maybe SIX or EIGHT ski mountain daily reports. So you could click through the links and get an overview on what an event generated, in terms of snowfall.

Looking for suggestions on which mountains would give the most complete overview of the northeast.

These are the givens. Gore and Whiteface included. At least 2 mountains from VT, one from NH and one from Maine. Mountain needs to update their report religiously, early in the am. (Sadly) Gore is excused from this requirement. Post ideas in comments below.

The Lodge still had it’s underwear (Tyvek) showing. Another crew was burying the propane tank that will heat the building.
