Also mentioned the new lodge isn't open. When's it opening after this push to get the ski bowl open so early? I'm not skiing this weekend based on the weather but I'm curious since they pushed for the bowl to open so early. Would be classic ORDA to get it open with the interconnect and the...

Agree. I heard some scuttlebutt there's an issue with the mid station that with the bars down the chairs don't clear it and that's why it's not open but could just be lack of help as it's early. Apparently the staff from South America aren't up yet and because of that they don't have enough...

Good day today but busy. Definitely busier than yesterday. The Santa's definitely descended on Whiteface in force making for some longer lines on the gondi and crowded trails at times. Conditions still held up well though despite the traffic. They got maybe an inch after lifts closed yesterday...

I never waited more than 5 minutes at the gondi when I rode it. I did singles but still. Longest wait was at the bell and I waited maybe 7 minutes. Not sure what the lines were you speak of unless you weren't in singles which that did get long at times. Maybe I just got lucky with timing of my...

I thought about posting this article too as I read it this morning before heading out to ski over coffee. Can't argue with it as they have so much open and so much snow. I'd argue they should blow Skyward before Hoyts. I like Hoyts but Skyward IS Whiteface and getting that open should be a...

All I can say is what month is it? Whiteface was off the charts good today and it feels and is skiing like mid-late January. Conditions were excellent all around. ROTDs were Northway, Mountain Run, Lower Mac, Cloudspin, Niagara, Victoria, and Lower Sky. Cloudspin and Lower Sky had soft soft soft...

Thanks for the summary and in depth explanation! Totally makes sense

They've blown the summit though in prior seasons without this. I feel this is not a problem with the snowmaking system as much as it is with the staff to run it which was the issue last year. Last season once they brought the head of snowmaking up from Belle they got there S*it together and...

I'm skiing WF this weekend for just this reason (plus more natural snow). Did Belle last weekend. Was great. Could have done Stratton this weekend as I have IKON too but WF>Stratton if Cloudspin is open which it supposedly is. Mountain Run is open now too. Gore just wasn't worth it compared to...

I bet it was awesome today. I've always loved Pico and am happy to see the money they've put in. Visitation may go up some but I'm sure it won't change things much.

Giving WF a shot for the weekend. Hoping they get LWF/Mountain Run pod open as they've been blowing it all week and got 8" the last couple days on top of all the other snow last couple weeks.

Hit up Belle today with @TheGreatAbyss. Great day and mountain is skiing great. Nice hard pack pretty much everywhere and lots open. Little ice here and there but really stellar for the first weekend of December. They'll probably be 100% open on snowmaking terrain by the weekend. Lots of stuff...

I totally view Gore trail reports as "wish lists" after being "Gored" many a year. They post early sure but very often nothing in the report is accurate. Many times they'll say stuff will open that doesn't. Stuff that isn't even mentioned will open. You go to know with Gore. Period

First day out today. Was pretty good considering it's November. Good coverage. Little icy in spots but very manageable. Crowds on Showcase got to be a bit much later in the morning with park rats zooming through everyone. North side was better. Lots of snowmaking going on which I'm very...

Another good spring day today. Pulled in around 9. Started with a Showcase which had just softened to Wild Air. Both great. Then over to BR. Sagamore was as good as it gets corn and flat. Did 3 laps before heading over via Backwash...I mean Backwoods to the bowl. 46er also excellent and did 4...

Most of the business is the flight school there. Jim who owns it is an awesome guy and a very thorough instructor. Got my instrument rating with him and highly recommend for anyone in the area looking to learn to fly. There's actually a couple Jets at Cortland. One is a Citation Bravo owned by...

Not skiing but here's a picture I took Tuesday evening of Greek coming out of Cortland while giving my bird some exercise

Ended up being a pretty decent day. First couple runs on lower mountain on Showcase and Twister were socked in and crusty. Put my Instrument Rating to use...on skis...Thankfully up top was above the clouds by around 9:30 and a little softer. Things continued to soften as the day progressed...

Bottom is pretty brutal with a crust, no groom, and near 0 visibility...up top much better in and out of the clouds and things are softening up. Glad I didn't bail on today as it crossed my mind this morning...

Really jealous I missed out on today up there. Committed to skiing with a friend at Gore and still had a great day. But it was no skiing the slides...
