Summit Quad opened around 10am, maybe. 4th Chair. Power outage negated my late start. First run largely untracked on Upper/Lower Sky. Still hit some firm underneath here and there, but nice. Second run Cloudspin was already cut up, but nice. Since then it’s been…. You get the idea...

Whit….er….Powface Friday thru Monday!

Wacky Rig? That’s my favorite setup for Bass.

So you weighed it, but you didn’t weigh it! What did it hit on?

That’s the difficulty over there….defining inbounds. The face that released is a permanently closed/off limits area. Apparently the avy runout never reached the marked pistes (read: no mitigation of that face was necessary to keep “inbounds” terrain safe), and those who were caught/killed...

Did you weight that beast?

OpenSnow still running with Whiteface as the big winner on this storm……with 28 inches from Wed thru Sat! Hope they have it right….

This from NOAA for the Placid area. I hope it’s not too far out to be this optimistic…. We know everyone wants to know what the forecast is going to be on Monday. Drum roll please. The forecast for Monday is looking spectacular across the North Country. A strong upper level ridge is slated to...

Is Lookout done done, or could we see it spin again given the impending storm?

Monday forecast up by Whiteface is currently looking good. While the price gouge (supply/demand what it is) is unwelcome I did snag the Best Western in Placid for Sunday night without breaking the bank. So, it’s likely on. I’ll probably be solo if anyone needs a bed and is willing to share...

Leave some for me on Friday! Heavy or not, I’ll take it! Wonder if a Slides day might come out of this one on Friday or Saturday????

A Garmin InReach is part of my standard backcountry equipment….but I can’t say I’ve ever really used it when skiing inbounds, as I usually only activate service if I plan on being in the backcountry.

Man, if snow materializes midweek it could be a good long weekend of skiing and seeing the eclipse. Not sure it’s worth the cost for what little lodging is available though….

Another forecast has picked up snow Tues thru Thurs next week….

Open Snow showing a foot of snow for VT/Northern NY next Tues-Thurs. Too early to know how the low will track, perhaps snow will be elevation dependent, blah, blah. That said….any real validity to the potential?

I can second this recommendation. My son and I stopped down there. Cristoff offered us some samples. One included an off menu Hunters Stew. Very tasty, so we ordered the secret menu item….the Bigos Platter! Nice people, good food. Definitely seems like a local operation and not...

If the skies are clear that day Whiteface would be a cool place to be.

Nice! I’ll be at Whiteface this weekend.

Absolutely RA, I get where you are coming from. It’s all good. There is, however, a reason people navigate some degree of insanity for powder turns, because they are kind of special. The Pow Day scene may be overrated, but the turns aren’t is all I’m trying to say.

It’s not about that rope drop run with 100 people, although it’s still pretty darn good if you are out in front. Yeah, that frenzy sucks, IF that is all you are stuck with. However, on days when they are dropping bombs and dropping ropes there is going to be so much good skiing to be had if...
