    Winter Weather 22/23

    I am hoping to go night skiing at Jiminy or West Mt. Wednesday after 3. Friday will chase pow somewhere- probably Belleayere if the OC bus runs. Sat/sun will try Gore or Whiteface or somewhere in VT that is not raining.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Skied Gore yesterday. Conditions were excellent! I skied 46er for the first time and did a few laps there. It’s steep! There weren’t any bumps to duck into either. Uncas and Topridge were very soft and fun! We took my friend’s 11 year old daughter down Topridge for her first time and she did...

    I saw the forecast and booked lodging so I can ski next Fri-Sun at Whiteface. Looks promising and I need to practice for Whistler!

    East/West trail difficulty rating comparisons

    Thank you! I hope I may have outgrown the ski sickness because I did ski one day last season at Mt Ellen in ZERO visibility rain/fog but the snow was amazing, and I didn’t get sick. Still I am going to cover my bases by wearing the ear patch above treeline just in case!

    Where are you skiing this week?

    Either Gore or Pico on Friday. Pico on Sunday. Going to get fitted for new ski boots on Saturday! I am still wearing my 1st ever pair of ski boots with 85 flex bought in 2018 when I was a never ever skier! They are sooooo packed out. Time to upgrade!

    East/West trail difficulty rating comparisons

    I have never been skiing out west, but I have been to a lot of mountains here on the east. How do the trail ratings compare at say Whiteface/Killington/Stowe/Sunday River/Sugarbush with trail ratings at Whistler Blackcomb? If you can ski all the blues without fear at these east coast mountains...

    What is The Mudhole off Wilmington at Whiteface?

    There’s a sign on the Wilmington trail- skiers left, that says “The Mudhole”. What’s that all about?

    Whiteface Conditions

    I had 4 fantastic days of skiing at Whiteface Fri-Mon. Each day was amazing for different reasons. We got 2 bluebird days, one pow day, and one packed powder day! Hardest/gnarliest trail was Upper and Lower Mackenzie on Saturday. Parons was Mr. Snowflake favorite! 1st run on Saturday on Northway...

    Whiteface Conditions

    I was a bit overterrained in there with the giant whale/cliffs and moguls. I made my way through by sideslipping and falling leaf. You must have some mad skills to enjoy that! Props to you.

    Whiteface Conditions

    If this is that game where you spot the truth amongst the lies I think you speak the truth about upper mackenzie. That sucked.

    Whiteface Conditions

    4:45 AM in Wilmington and there’s maybe 2” of snow stuck to my jeep. I am afraid we may be getting skunked here at Whiteface. Unlikely to see a major pow day at opening today.

    Whiteface Conditions

    Who skis Hoyt’s High and or Lookout Below? How do they compare to other diamonds at Whiteface? I have never skied either of them.

    Thanks! I got my first couple runs in on Skyward today! It’s nowhere near as terrifying as I remember it being a few years back
