Skied yesterday and it was better than expected. They opened Burnt Ridge very early (on a Monday) and everything was in play. Soft snow everywhere. We did our time there and moved to the summit. Lies and Rumor were better than they looked. Rumor was hard but edgeable...softer as you got...

Amen! That's why I am home today chipping ice, grocery shopping...making her happy. I will be there tomorrow morning. I did do a selfish thing and took an evening job so I can take advantage of days like Friday before work. I don't mind Monday closures. They are all open on Wednesday, my...

No we don't ask people to leave they just get frustrated and go. Motel 6/Super 8(Gore) vs. Marriott/Hilton(Killington). How about Welcome to Gore...wait and hour or two and we will have it figured out. Case in point...If they decide to open the Hudson Chair tomorrow, I don't expect it will...

NYSEF used to run a downhill on Twister for the little one up to JlV I believe. That became speed camp for the bigger kids on Twister (Echo was new at this time) They ran a super-G at the end of camp. Can't remember a downhill for the elite. I believe Echo is rated for Super-G but not...

Wednesday...everything available except the bowl wasn't open and I think some of the ropes were because of lack of ski patrol, which I saw very few of today. "Gore, It is what it is. If you don't like it ski somewhere else" That will be my t-shirt. All this bitching and complaining has gone...

Echo was built as a racing trail. It is the only FIS certified run ay Gore. I think there is an FIS race this month at Gore and yes it brings money. I am a recovered race parent. BTW skiing was excellent today. With the north chair closed the last two days, the snow piled up in Tahawus...

Can't wait to ski Sagamore tomorrow. First groom...eh...but it is supposed to open! But then again, it's Gore and it may not open. I am going to go so I know.

Yesterday was Make your own Funday Monday. I enjoyed it. I had enough to keep my attention for 5 plus hours and plenty of powder shots with the 2-3 inches that fell the day before. A bit of ice appeared in spots but was easy to avoid. Chati probably had the worst but if you stayed left in...

We had our issues today but it was my second favorite day of the year so far(Monday was the best). The best IMO runs I am aloud to talk about were Chati, Lower Darby and Darby Woods(KHS). KHS may have been my favorite but I really enjoyed under the straightbrook chair(which I still don't know...

I had to get some house work done so it was either yesterday or today...not both. I skied yesterday and probably made the wrong choice but I want to thank the groomers for getting something worthwhile to ski. If anyone wants to bash the groomers just remember back not too long ago about the...

Enjoyed Topridge all to myself today! What lines?

This is my first time to chime in after working late and running errands this morning. Thank you to the snow makers and groomers...yesterday was way better than expected. Norhing like the picture above but I think that crazy weather kept the opening day crowds at a perfect level. Love the layout...

When I coached softball I thought the 11-13year olds were the worst. Jason, my 27yr old moved out with her boyfriend(now fiance) and my wife told him...you can't give her back. My 26 year old lives with her boyfriend under our roof. We don't charge them but they make up for it. My girls are...

I have nothing against snowboarders and I think if I lived out west I would ride one. I used to make a crude version back in the 70s. I started skiing around 74 and never looked back. Oh and Chip on his Alpine Board is fun to watch at Gore. Pure Carve. I would not have a problem with MRG...

If you had a share of MRG you wouldn't think it was a lame rule. Betsy was awesome and did allow boards and only restricted them from the single when they were losing a lot of ski time because the boarders would pull the cable off the top pully when getting off. You did not want to piss her...

MRG is my absolute favorite ski area in the NE. I think old natural snow is easier to ski than old man made. that being said when they get snow there is no better ski area IMHO than MRG. My girls got to first experience it in 40+ inches. I first discovered it (30 plus year earlier)on a trip...

From the NWS Burlington discussion...Snowfall accumulations range from a dusting to 2 inches 1000 to 1500, with 1 to 3 midslopes and 2 to 5 inches near summit level by early Sunday morning...on and off upslope snow showers Sunday with another burst from Sunday night into Monday. Kmart's...

Day 1... I missed last Wednesday but still got about 1.25 miles of "packed powder" on Sunday. I skied Kmart on Monday so i count that as 2 days so far,

A bit closer, I told my wife I will be home Sunday... not Monday and Tuesday which could be the game changer we have been waiting for. Sunday may also have some good stuff high up in the ADKs and Northern Greens.

I can't believe I didn't run into you yesterday. I rode the lift with a former Gore Mt. racer parent a couple of times. Loved it. Got a bit mushy mid day but once the shadows returned I really enjoyed the chalk like consistency. Really nice bumps for early season. We need to get to that...
