Well I take back my doubt of the reported snowfall accuracy. Did Cathedral brook and there is enough to be solidly skiable. Between the downed trees, fresh snow, and fresh wax, a bit of a struggle to get to the top but worth it. Groomed runs skiing very nice, some of the bump runs are pretty...

Conditions are excellent at the top, about an inch on top of packed powder what was groomed last night. Some trails ungroomed and moguls. Snow covering everything although maybe not quite 8" reported. Bottom by lightning a bit crusty and not near as nice. Best conditions I personally have...

The sixer stopped a few times last weekend, once when we were just about to load for about 10 minutes. They had a whole crew in the control shack trying to get it going. East peak was running the whole time and I did not see it stop although it didnt seem to be running very fast for a detach...

Well I was at Windham for the first time Sat/Sun. Saturday was pretty icy and pretty busy. Awesome blue sky. According to people I talked to on the lift, it was the busiest they have seen it all season and the first they ran the Baker double which was fortuitous. The lift line for the sixer...

Catamount 1/30 report. Ghost town. Snow was quite icy in the morning, cloudy, muddy, and kind of dreary, but softened up into a decent condition in the afternoon with the sun coming out. Very thin cover in spots. There was natural snow on the ground over most of the mountain, at least under...

I can't speak to Tmobile but as for verizon the coverage at gore is spotty for me. Works in some areas but not others. There is wifi in the lodge though I believe.

Plattekill rents tele gear fairly reasonably prices and also gives tele lessons

Trying to join clubs out of college, all the clubs are all geezers Which can be good company, but I would rather join a group with some guys and gals my age especially being single and all

Tussey is bonus for me. Already had the pass, it is actually the closest place now to me on the pass

when will ORDA be held accountable... this is ridiculous not a single board member voted no on any of this. Absolutely clueless They really should be spending more on operations to actually make some snow to get what trails they have open, and spin the lifts already there which sit idle...

Wow. It seems like they are trying to straighten and widen almost every trail. Okemo 2.0 Leave the North side alone at least! How are the trails going to hold snow there if they widen them all into abominations. It will all melt and blow away in the exposure, and they will have to make even...

"Any publicity is good publicity"? The article wasn't really critical of Magic anyway, just that they had some staffing shortages which everyone has had

They can't even fill the jobs they have Lmao at that timeline They can't even open what they have, at Gore or Whiteface. Don't deface the mountain by cutting even more ski trails on it that will never be open. As gung ho NY is about forever wild. I have not once been to Gore when Hudson...

I have towed a saucer sled and have considered towing skis before but we always decided in the end it sounded like a great way to bust a knee The Amish tow rollerbladers behind their buggies here abouts and we have considered trying that too but always thought running up too fast into the back...

How about they blow some more snow rather than spending millions of dollars on lodge and lift upgrades. What is there even to upgrade at this point? They don't even use all the lifts and trails they have. Taxing rentals to fund the ORDA ski areas is pretty anti-competitive for the dozens of...
