Thinking of biting the bullet and doing a lesson at Gore tomorrow (Wednesday). I am thinking it might be less crowded since it is before the holiday crowds arrive. Smaller lesson group, etc. But I wonder about the snow conditions on trails like Bear Cub. I am sure this would be the targeted...

Longer than first expected. But certainly the correct decision. Last thing you want is to discover months into the recovery is there is fluid or a deeper layer that has not healed. I must say I was shocked at how slender she is. I was expecting more of a gym rat build complete with abdomen six...

From the base webcam.... a lot of activity around the gondola this morning. Plus the cabins are spinning. Probably prepping for the weekend? So far my search on 'social media' have not given me much of an update on what is open or conditions? Still deciding if it is worth an hour drive up. I...

No Snow Report for Friday posted... guess someone forgot to press SEND. I'll check in the morning but I really am a big fan of the "Anticipated" reports posted late in the afternoon the day before. From the webcam I was surprised how well the base area held up to the rain. I expected mud. Here...

Getting near Decision time for me on a Friday, the 13th trip! I fear Gore will not have rebounded from the predicted rain. Maybe WFace will be a bit luckier? BUT the other concern is terrain. At Gore I ski mostly Bear Cub off the Bear Cub Quad early season. At 75 and getting back into skiing it...

Late reply but the only ads that really 'scare' me are the TEMU ads. Possibly a total paranoid myth but I have always considered them the pandora's box I never wanted to open for fear of getting deluged with ads and spam forever!

I was pleased to see Bear Cub Quad running today. I saw a good number of Lesson groups getting some fine instruction. They were getting their $$ worth! I was jealous! My first runs of the year also were on Bear Cub and were not very stellar... at least at the top of the trail. Eventually from...

At 8PM from the base lodge camera there was a ton of snow being made near the Sunway Chair and Bear Cub. I would suppose this is for weekend lower mountain skiers and the money to be made from beginners and lessons? Unfortunately I am a weekday lower mountain skier. Fingers crossed they might...

In my somewhat 'hopeful' mind.... doesn't the next 7 days look very good for snow making? Anyone who was there today (Friday) care to report if they saw snow making? Again, in my hopeful mind wouldn't blowing snow on Lower Sunway allow them to build that all important base and open more of the...

Ripitz.... thank you for your suggestion. Yes, it was likely misplaced. I will not waste anyone's time in the future. Lesson learned.

While we wait for that first dump of real snow.... Post removed.....

Oh wait a minute... I am directionally challenged. Do we want load from the left or load from the right? You would think with all the huge advances in technology some genius nerd would have come up with a Star Trek "beam me up" transporter for skiers. Forget sending tourists to outer space...

Geez... Sorry about the false alarm. Old cabins on. old cabins off, old cabins back on. I think that is progress? Sure hope they didn't order load from the left cabins? :unsure:

Base cam IS showing new gondolas hung ! ⛷️ I have tee times thru next Tuesday... After that bring on the SNOW !

Any chance the manufacturer only allows initial installation by their own crews? I would think they could be particular when it comes to liability? Didn't something like that happen last year with the gondola lift gear repair?

I realize I am an impatient person... But I sure was hoping to see a few of the new Gondolas on site? Or better yet, being installed... Each time I go to the base lodge camera I see zero work going on? Nice 60 degree day would seem a good day to start installing.... Plus I assume there will be...

I was out of skiing for 20+ years. Kids went off to college and then on to careers. Left poor dad with no one to ski with... plus skiing day tickets got expensive, equipment needed upgrading. Gone were the Mobil 3 deals where 3 fill ups got you a reduced price day of skiing at local mountains...

I am pretty sure the open or closed gate will make my decision for me. I might call on the way up as well. Only one Whiteface web cam operating today so that gave me little help. Gore web cams looked like a ghost town. But I do think the old gondolas had been pulled. BTW the 2nd base area (Bear...

Thank you. Kind of what I expected. They have more important work to do than watching me so I don't get in the way.

I am visiting Lake Placid and Saranac Lake mid week. I have never visited the facility at Whiteface. I realize it will not be open for activities, or shopping, or food. But will it be possible to drive into the facility? Just to do a drive thru? I normally venture no further north than Gore BUT...
