    Whiteface Conditions

    Without a doubt, the weather this year has been much more cooperative, however, I think the difference here also comes down to management. The "paint it white" strategy that marked Mike Pratt's years as ORDA CEO is hopefully a thing of the past. From what I've seen, the snowmaking strategy...

    Whiteface Conditions

    In addition to it being MLK weekend, it's also Chevy promo weekend, and there's also an FIS Freestyle event at the jumping complex that weekend too, so yes, it will likely be pretty crowded. That said, IF everything is open (Summit Quad, Lookout Triple, Gondola & Little Whiteface chair), it...

    Whiteface Conditions

    Skied Sunday and Monday ... more of the same ... dust on crust ... same trails over and over ... Seems pretty obvious that there must be a snowmaking issue ... they've been making snow for four days now on Approach, Upper Parkway, Upper Thruway and Draper's Drop. Also have a small number of...

    They weren't able to blow that before the crap weather set in. I'm sure they'll make it pretty clear once they can get it open ... for now, though ... ooooofffff!

    Whiteface Conditions

    About what you'd expect today, given the recent weather, but, it beat sitting in the house doing nothing. They were blowing snow on The Follies, and heard guns up on Thruway? Mountain Run? Approach? Couldn't really tell where. Would expect that they'd move the guns to the "main line" trails...

    Fall Weather 2023

    While it certainly isn't looking good, still hoping for the best, so I'll drag these out again ... The first one was taken at the base of Whiteface, the base of the gondola is just off camera on the right, on December 27, 2015. The second one was taken from the exact same spot on January 2...

    Definitely ... I spent pretty much the whole morning lapping the Summit Quad. My second run down to the base was my last at around 12:00.

    I thought the skiing was pretty good today ... visibility sucked and of course it was wet, but pretty good conditions for early December and my first day of the season ... I'll take it!

    Plattekill Conditions

    Not often at all ... last time was 2014. I had worked the glade cutting day this past Fall and so I had a voucher ... I wasn't really sure if I was ever going to use it, but then it turned out that I had to be downstate this weekend, so I brought my gear down with me and figured if things...
