    Yeh whiteface does that with a more limited schedule etc. Maybe in time there will be a more uniform policy across all ORDA mtns with it being included on season passes, uphill only pass option, day rates, etc and dedicated uphill routes at each. Would be a nice touch to mix things up during...

    Alpine Touring Thread

    Looks like Belleayre just posted on IG a uphill program that is during operational hours...I wonder if anything will come of this at whiteface or gore in terms of a during normal hours uphill route. Appears to be included with the regular season pass as well which is nice to see...

    PNW Ski Safari, Feb 11 - Feb 14, 2023

    Man, every time you post these PNW TRs I feel like I need to get back there next time I head west...been a while (2019) but I really enjoyed my quick in and out day trip to Crystal....need to get back for a proper extended multi-mountain trip and perhaps a guided tour as well...

    Mt. Bachelor: Feb 2023

    Nice pics! This place is on my to-do list which should eventually come to fruition without much effort because my wife's cousin lives in portland now and he is really into craft beer as well (i.e. pick me up in portland, lets drive to Bend and drink some beers and go skiing). Gotta leverage a...

    Skiing's Future

    I guess that's a potential option...however I currently like my setup/routine. Being based out of the adirondacks instead of the jersey shore would be alot better than many other options...so what's that mean then, ADK becomes summer only spot and driving to far northern Quebec to go skiing lol...

    Skiing's Future

    Sad read...but unfortunately there's probably alot of truth to it, particularly stands out in a season like we've had so far. This particular story was really interesting to me, as I drew alot of similarities to my skiing life (my dad 1st Gen skier in our family, me 2nd, now getting my 3 y/o on...

    Whiteface Conditions

    I’m not at whiteface I’m going for a ski tour today but it’s pretty windy in lake placid in town right now...snowed like 1” or so last night. Whiteface was skiing very nice yesterday in my opinion. I think some more snow tonight into tmrw prob nothing crazy.

    Whiteface Conditions

    Here now...really pretty good considering what the rain on the roof sounded like last night. I’ll call it 2” down low 3-4” up high. Still snowing lightly. Was expecting conditions to be much worse. It ain’t great, but relative to this season, it ain’t bad. And there’s only a few ppl here...

    ORDA Snowmaking Improvements

    That seems very surprising. We always felt that way when I was a little kid (90s) and whiteface was our “home mtn” but seems that changed in recent times (2010s+)...prob in part to social media and the like...I wish it was still like what you mentioned, in some ways, reminds me of coming up to...

    Winter Weather 22/23

    Ooof Well I’ll be there regardless...as long as the magic carpet spins at Kids Kampus (or I guess it’s Bear Den these days) and we ain’t getting rained on, I’ll be able to have a successful trip. Some fresh snow would be a bonus. Just some white coverage...last time grey skies and 50deg was a...

    Winter Weather 22/23

    More or less, yeh. It’s whatever forecast iPhone weather app generates when you plug in Lake Placid. You’d prob have a better look going to noaa.gov with a point forecast or the NYSB weather page but, the point is, it seems to be trending in a better direction for this weekend. It was...

    Yeh day one of that trip was at Crystal...I had stopped off in Seattle for one night on the way to AK and did a quick mission to ski Crystal and fly out to AK that night on the redeye...I likely posted a TR on it if it reads that way(...Day 2...etc)
