    This could be 100% incorrect .....but I heard they leave the whales alone for awhile so the moisture runs out of them a little bit and you are left with a drier snow. Also when there's a drastic change from warm to cold, it is usually because of a storm front....the wind and rain churn up the...

    It doesn't matter who is accountable - just a matter of pinning the blame on a scapegoat. Any new executive in any corporation needs to flex their muscle to let the minions know they are in charge and mean business.

    Whiteface trails are like the bell curve - you wait in anticipation of everything being open - it crescendos - then trails start fading away and closing. It crescendo'ed the last weekend of Presidents Week with Lookout Mtn being open ....now it fades.

    Whiteface Conditions

    Checked the Whiteface page - no snow guns running and its cold enough with warm temps on the way. I guess maybe the theory of no snow making after Presidents Day Week might ring true - damn. Next couple of weeks are warm and rainy.

    Another good article - https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/whiteface-snowmaking Describes the snow making at Whiteface. "According to ORDA, the river flow minimum has never been triggered, but snowmaking does push up against the 6,000-gallons per minute limit."

    Yes - I have heard the same thing - no snow making after Presidents Day .....if that is the case ...this season will be done early with the recent temps. I thought last year there was some snow making - I will pay attention better this year.

    bad conditions ? slow roll out of terrain ? uh ..hello ?? has anyone been paying attention to the weather ?? It's been warm and rainy a huge percent of the time. Whiteface is lucky to have what it has and that's all related to snow making. To complain about trail roll out is absolutely...

    Whiteface Conditions

    + 1 The last weekend of Presidents week is always light - 3 days of great conditions (considering the weather pattern). I heard Ski Patrol say there were 40 mph winds at night that blew the snow off of Skyward - hence the late opening. Off Topic - at the lower level of Legacy Lodge is a...

    An incredible day ! Sunny skies, low crowds, soft snow ...an absolute beautiful day ! Skyward was soft and in the sun - great condition - if a trail was in the shade it was a bit icy, if you followed the sun it was all good. I think tomorrow with the temperatures going to the single and teen...

    Where are you skiing this week?

    please don't say that :p I know last year we left around lunch time many days last break because the Facelift line snaked to NYSEF lodge ! I waited in the lift line 30 minutes so I could ski over to Bear's Den and leave.

    Bears Den is open..parking, food, rentals, restaurant and a store. Falcon Flyer services very easy green trails. Not sure how they compare to Gore but are easy green. The Notch lift also services green trails....the Notch has two "get offs" (not sure the proper term)...if you take the Notch get...
