Whiteface Conditions

[Deez]

Went to pick up my skis from the shop....the river parking lot was full and cars parked up the hill....more people than I would have thought. Only the summit is open...have to take facelift back down to get to lodge.

They organized the river lot different....traffic barrels and tape/rope to delineate lanes. Not the usual free for all. Can't count how many times I have seen 3 deep.

Ok so while D was working on the crack 'o' noon club schedule, I was on the early shift and got there at just after eight, and got a coveted left spot just before the bridge. Very light crowd on the lift at opening at 8:45 for the face lift (there was literally about 8-10ppl), so I actually was able to grab second chair up to the summit (which opened at 9am exactly even with Area 1 in line for chair 2). And I was so HAPPY!! Perfect cord from wall to wall on the upper big left turn on Paron's and the sun dancing at your feet! There's a little pinch by the S turns above the Follies runout, which was smooth early then got bumped later in the sun, and became the only hiccup. Once below that it was most enjoyable very firm and smooth groomer cruising back to the chair, with the complimentary Whiteface vertical go fast option!!!
