This seems like the correct time and place to ask this... I will be renewing my SKI3 Senior Season's pass. I bought it last year as an upgrade from my frequent skier card. Will it make any difference if I do it on GORE website or the Whiteface site? The price appears to be the same so what I am...

Last year I upgraded from Frequent Skier card to Senior SKI3 Pass. Was a deal since I saved $$ from the Frequent skier card rates for 3 trips in the Spring. Then I got a One day Buddy pass and 1/2 day pass for this the current year. Again savings to me since they were used by my adult daughter...

Hate to ask BUT.... Should I head to Whiteface tomorrow rather than brave the NYS High School racing championships? I was hoping for a nice quiet, uncrowded mountain and lodge. I have never been there for competition days. In my mind I am picturing a crazy lodge scene plus parking lots full of...

1 PM on Saturday... I have no idea if the weekend storm will be a winner or an over hyped bust, but it sure has not kept people from getting to the mountain. From the Webcams I could see Gore was busy. BUT WOW, Whiteface Bear Den area was the busiest I have seen it all season. Kind of glad I...

This was in Glens Falls Chronicle today... Since it concerns Ski Bowl and some might not get Chronicle I am posting it here. Of course I do not understand most of it. But I know others on here do. Warren County OK’s $2.5-million in Oc Tax for ORDA Ski Bowl project ; some opposition By Cathy DeDe...

Damn.... Do I need a special pass to get into that NYSKIBLOG.COM lounge??? Probably even comes with preferred parking! I expect to see "What's in your Wallet" Jennifer Garner putting on her boots! I wonder.... Ski boots or boarder boots???

Comparing Apples to Oranges... If you were to guestimate what would you say is the amount of man-made snow added to the natural snow? Take for example Sunway Trail just below Sunway Chair... Maybe another 24 inches over the course of the year? More? Less?

I lurk and post on a number of different sites and forums. After seeing the early posts I refrained from posting, preferring to lurk since social media is SO OFTEN wrong. Plus I always hope for the best... There was an early post suggesting an MI incident based on their observation of a tarp...

Yes, heart attack could be a possibility. There are other reports however (different blog?) that he did go off the trail. Am I being overly sensitive that no mention of the incident was made in the Snow Report? Please be smart, be safe. Now I go out to clear 10 inches of snow... Yearly Snow...

Thank you. I needed some encouraging news.

I believe I remember the early discount being only say $75 plus maybe another $50 off for the upgrade from Frequent Skier card. That could still leave an increase of $100. Guess I will just have to wait and see. With the buddy perks, last year it was a no brainer decision for me as a Senior...

Recently debated with a friend how much I paid for my Senior pass for 24-25 season. I told him under $300 and he doubted me. Today I looked at the current price.... Over $400 for the same Senior pass. So I rechecked my credit card account for March of last year. Yep, under $300 as an upgrade...

Thank you for the explanation. Both Sports Page & Inside Edge are top shops in our area. Our family has been using Sports Page for years. Always knowledgeable and helpful. Their season long rental program for kids makes skiing affordable for families. I would think the racers would be returning...

While you guys debate snowmaking... I have a racing question. Today was the first day I saw a number of skiers in obvious racing gear complete with bibs. The bibs I saw said Gore and Sports Page... Is this organized racing between clubs or mountains? I saw zero school buses so I assume it was...

Snow removal this morning came as a surprise to me... Wore out my old legs pushing and pulling my ancient snowblower so I never made it north. Out of sheer curiosity, how many parking lots did they use today? I thought maybe after the snowy weekend the 'never ski on weekends' crowd might make...
