    Gore Mountain Conditions

    This is for Mad man. The summit is rarely open from top to bottom at opening bell. If you are first on Gondi, you are not skiing Uncas or Pine Knot. If you hop on AEII, you are not going down Wood In. They were 15 minutes late and we got freshies on Quicksilver then over to Sagmore...by then...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Damn this was a great day! Only lines we encountered was before the lifts opened...15 minutes late...notta big deal. They are now saying 18" on top...that may be a stretch except where it was wind loaded. 12-15 still worked for me. Thanks for a great day Cork and Todd.

    Hey Kleetus I think I remember if it was when I asked to join you thinking you guys were together and I was in the middle? I don't know whether to post this here or weather...Skied yesterday after my morning meeting. 12:30 to close. Rumor and Lies were great and still have quite a bit of snow...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    My buddy said they couldn't ski today because of Avy conditions in Italy. I told him I hope there is something left when he gets back...That being said, today made it into my top ten this year, close to 5. ROTD RUMOR! It took until March to groom it and although the whales and bump fields...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Hey anybody ski today? How were the conditions...lol. I agree with both Steve and Kleetus. A faster lift will need more terain at the bowl and the weather the weather and the weather is a problem at the bowl. It is what it is. As a long time Gore skier, we will see these improvements come...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Mad River's single is case in point for empty trails. The ski bowl's lift is perfect for the amount of skiing available there. If we had a ton of snow, the tree skiers would all be there and probably a lift line. I love the bowl and my first two runs when they are open are 46er and Moxam...

    Gore / North Creek Lodging and Amenities

    Wow Q man smoke something and chill...you should buy more into North Creek and start a Pizza place. Gore can't get enough employees what makes you think they will flock to NC for jobs. ORDA is not responsible for North Creek, Wevertown, Johnsburg or any other surrounding town...they need to...

    Hey Conditions right, a foot of snow and this thread goes a different direction. Maybe break this out Harv...So back to the 50K vert. My sole goal today was to see how fast I could get to 30K on a day like today. Longer than I thought. Ski Bowl then straight to Burnt Ridge and Sagamore. It...

    Gore / North Creek Lodging and Amenities

    Not a destination resort is what gets me. So all those folks from NJ, Mass and LI are only stopping in to Gore on their way to somewhere else? Whiteface maybe. I like it the way it is and if you look hard enough I'm sure you can find weekend deals in Lake George. I am pretty sure they...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    They didn't have gates on Sag this morning and there was quite a bit of powder as well as up high...but nothing at the bowl...odd. I would have stayed late today but I was singing the Senor Berkshire Jerry Blues...Binding Malfunction on Rumor of all places although I didn't realize what it was...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    yeah but it happens when it goes off. My first run was a bull rush. My daughter's friend and i almost collided looked at each other and laughed. I took a line skiers right (where the short cut is) and kept it!...deeep. We were wondering where the snow came from. I knew they blew the crap out...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I was going to take tomorrow off to go ice boating(never been and I am a sailor) I will be back at Gore tomorrow specifically because of Rumor! We hit it at rope drop and left when they closed it to get the patrollers' sleds off of it. People, don't try it if you are not able to ski Lies...

    Belleayre sold out again

    Cathedral Brook is still a named trail...not like back in the day, and there are warning signs but on a powder day you gotta go to know. Powder day if there isn't a track, my skis were on my shoulder. I have skins and AT bindings now but may never ski Belle again ...unless Highmount comes back

    Belleayre sold out again

    i would love to see them develop Highmount. It and Plattekill were my go toos growing up in Northern NJ. I may be wrong but NYS bought it and were sued by neighboring ski areas and were not allowed to develop it. I think NYS still owns it.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I would have to look at my app but I think 20 runs from the summit to the bowl will get you there. Pipeline will build your glutes if you are a skier or one of you legs if you are a boarder. The closest we came to 50k was a day Duck and I started out on the main mountain and everything kinda...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Even when it's not wide open...I can always find a way to have fun until,at least, either Beck's or Tommy Guns opens. I was thinking of trying to get 50K tomorrow just for something to do and then I saw the weather report...Beck's isn't open...lol WEDNESDAY...Partly sunny. Isolated snow...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    30k is not that difficult at Gore when you are skiing what we are skiing now. yes Burnt Ridge is the easiest but I did 17,500 from 8:30 to Noon on Sunday and I started at the bowl and went all around from summit to base and no Gondola. Best vert is obviously Burnt Ridge but Bear (gondola yuck)...

    ROTD Barkeater! How does it get better without any significant snow. They opened Boreas today. I have ducked ropes with safer conditions but it was fun. Open water and at one point you ski over a bunch of downed trees with water running underneath. Sagamore, Echo and Backwoods were all...
