Junior and I got out today to break in our Indy Passes at West. I’ve only been to West maybe a half dozen times I think. It’s always fun. I like how the place is so close to downtown Glens Falls and the Thruway. It’s right in the middle of a suburban neighborhood.

It was not a powder day by any means. The big storms so far this year have missed West for the most part. They have a good snowmaking system though. They’ve gotten enough open to have a fun day on.

West is known for its robust racing program. There was lots of racing happening.

This guy was taking pictures as the racers went by. He had an actual camera- not just a phone. Must have been serious.

We were not there to race though- just to ski.

They were making snow- seemed like they were doing their best to expand terrain

Some of the snow was on the firm side but not icy

We had fun. Of course we left enough time for a little side trip on the way home

Look like Ted's Fish Fry.
 
Evan and I are planning to get there this year! We’ve been once before but it was a very quick and icy night ski. Excited to check it out and give it a full day seems like a fun mountain!
 
I checked out West on Pres. Day several years ago. Did a day trip from the Berkshires where I was staying for a few days. Wanted to see how Indy hills did on that holiday weekend. It was 100% open. Skied from opening until about 11:00 when it started getting crowded. I liked the vibe.

Bonus for me and my friend was heading to the Queensbury outlets for lunch and some shopping. :)
