Thank you. I was afraid the downtime would be longer. I will ski with my stretchy brace for a while longer. Then maybe decide before golf season. Never liked the goofy look, or white knee look, of knee braces for golf.

Sure, valid explanations using unweird science? BUT I saw cars from New Jersey in the parking lot. That has to mean they were drones! From the lift I also thought I saw a pair of empty boots in the snow. I assume the aliens finally found a skier with intelligent life and used their Star Trek...

Skied WF on Thursday with my daughter and grandson. They of course skied more of the mountain than I did, BUT WF was clearly a great decision. Next week will probably be a return to Gore for me... yet WF will be tempting. The extra 50 miles each way being the only downside. That, and the speed...

Hopefully someone can give an update on the lower mountain snowmaking... I am trying to decide between Gore or WFace on Thursday. I do not always find the newly made snow easy to ski on, even groomed. Thin and slippery in one spot, then sticky and flour like in another spot. That said I am glad...

Amazes me that some of my long time golf buddies from the north now can not drive in 2 inches of snow.

Finally seriously considering toget one of the Lubricating shots for my left knee. Not because of pain, the knee is just plain balky in the morning. Does not look swollen but sure feels that way? Actually gets freer after an hour or two. Not good for my golf game or for skiing. I am sure they...

Can not disagree about the cold that was being forecast as a factor. As a retiree of many years I can pick and choose when to ski. Last Friday I chose Gore and was disappointed. This week I am off the mountain until probably Thursday. And my mountain selection for this week will be Whiteface.

I have been watching the webcams at Gore and Whiteface. Note to self... There will be NO crowds on the final day of a 3 day holiday. Sorry I stayed home. Oh well, lesson learned. Either people are on their way home or they are home watching the Inauguration. Next year I ski !

With the backing of ORDA and the State of New York it is pretty clear Gore will not be failing anytime soon. But there has been discussions on the forum about what it needs to do to attract workers and be more of a destination versus a commuter mountain. Forty miles down the Northway, West...

I failed the ink spot test yesterday... Sunway Chair was open so I elected to use it thinking I could switch over to Lower Sunway trail. I was helping a couple of ladies, one of whom was having a hard time with the initial steepness below Sunway Chair. Otter Slide was blocked by crossed marker...

Quick update. After my dentist appointment got moved to earlier in the morning I decided to check out Gore Web cam. As of 10 AM there appeared to be a smallish crowd. So I was surprised to be in Lot F when I got there a bit before 11. But there still were almost zero lines. People definitely...

My first time to Bear Den was on a very windy day. Parked in closest lot and walked the rest of the way up. I did not get a chance to check out the location that much. This next time I will have extra people with me. I probably missed it last time, but is there a ski, boot bag, and passenger...

I did not get a survey in my email... so far. I do have a season pass if that was the qualifying condition? Or it may be based upon previous contact or request for information. Tried your link but it says Survey Completed and gives no further access, probably to protect the privacy of your reply?

Amazing summary and advice. You know more about the mountain than I know about my own back yard! Even something for an old I Ski Green guy like me. Thank you.

If you want (or need) foreign visa workers you need organized housing and transportation for them. Dormitory style housing ? Transportation shuttles? Whiteface, because of Lake Placid, has an abundance of workers. I was at Whiteface on Friday, I swear a third of the worker all came from the same...

I am sure the OP was somewhat serious. But for most of us it is more comedy than drama. I imagine it is a liftie's nightmare to be assigned 4 hours on a carpet lift. Huge battles with parents that want to walk up the often carpeted side of the entire lift as a confidence builder for the...

The conveyors without any roof coverage are the worse. Even a tiny bit on snow on them, add a bit of upslope, and many skiers will start to slide backwards! The lifties solution is usually to tell you to take one ski off and use it as a crutch. My solution is to nearly always take both skis off...

I was all set to go to Gore Monday. Enjoyed Whiteface but the shorter drive is tempting. Plus I need to do some Gore swag shopping for my grandson's birthday, Not surprisingly they will not have Sunway chair running. I had hoped to extend my Bear Cub trails to at least Lower Sunway from the...

I watched the web camera a couple of times today... Ideal conditions plus a blue sky. And it was still not busy. Next time I want to extend my comfort zone to NOTCH lift. Is that a mid point? Can you unload there? I seem to remember a video showing the lift does a 'turn' there? From Falcon (just...

To hell with cones... I had similar problems a couple of weeks ago in the same LOT D. Had to do a 20 point K Turn to inch out of the squeeze because of the line of cars ALLOWED to park single file down the center of the travel lanes. These are within eye sight of the offices. Post parking...
