So we end the day at a semilocal drinking establishment and this guy walks in saying how bad Gore was today and nothing was open and blah blah blah and my daughter and I looked at him and asked if he skied the same mountain. If you are looking for groomers on a 30+ inch day your nuts. We had a...

How much snow did they get? I was there yesterday and skied all the glades. Had a really great afternoon after my meeting. Was thinking today was going to be great. I even hoofed it out to Cathedral Brook.

I'll be up there Tuesday, my fingers are crossed

There are not enough employees! I grew up downstate and always found a way to get to the mountains early. Huntah was my Kmart. Platte and Highmount were my go tos. If you are staying in a lodge close by a mountain, then you have no excuse for not getting to the mountain early. If you want...

I drove through the storm on Saturday from Saratoga and still got my spot right next to the lift. Everybody needs help not just a NYS ski area that doesn't have the luxury of hiring foreign workers and only has a small pool of potential employees to pick from, like destination resorts. It's...

I love my home mountain and today was a big reason. Damn it was good!

I thought I saw you at the Bowl Harv...Top 5 day today and I didn't make it past Burnt Ridge. Boreas early was interesting but I was texting buddies to get in there to ski it in. I did my share of breaking down the crust. Barkeater was prime right from the beginning. The only other trails I...

I was there yesterday and the Wilmintgon trail was the best top to bottom. I left at noon and everything above the middle of the mountain on the Whiteface and little Whiteface side was frozen cord...Loud! A guy I rode up with on the Gondi said he heard the lookout lift was open, I said no way...

I live just west of Saratoga (Saratoga school district) and it takes me an hour. The Orda pass works best for me because I do work in Lake Placid and my office is near Belle. Gore is my favorite for close. West and Willard are the closest but they don't have what I want. I taught for a year...

So Bertha's last day was a good one. My favorites were Darkside Glade and ChatiHawk Line early,,,they got skied hard today. Rumor fun and edgeable Lies, closed by 2 (ice rink). Bertha is being replaced by an unnamed as of yet, Pathfinder. Back to booting up in the lodge i guess, Very...

After 8+ years and 279,000 miles Bertha (my 2014 Ram 1500) is going into retirement. Tomorrow may very well be her last day at Gore. Since Covid she has been my base lodge. Not a better place than the bowl to say fairwell. I will have the skis to ski Hudson tomorrow lol. If it's really good...

There is plenty of snow on it. It was sort of open on Monday(from the old entrance) and skied great. The new entrance has a pipe they need to bury before they can open it. Today from first chair was pretty awesome. Foxlair first trax was my fave. I quite enjoyed Chatti in that brownish snow.

I skied it on Saturday and really liked it despite the millions of people over there. I skied today boo hoo that Burnt Ridge was closed. Lies with perfect cord first thing and the line under the Straightbrook chair and my fave of the day, Dark Side Glade!. There is plenty open to have fun on...

I moved around a lot today. Had a new Gore fan with me today(relative) and showed her around. We got 15k by the time Beck's opened and only waited on two lines. Worst one was Top Ridge. I really like the Backwoods trail. It will F up Barkeater but maybe preserve Abanake. My pick of today...

Belle was my pick of the day. We even got a little bumpline in the sugar by 2pm on skiers right. If you poked around there were some decent bumps...and some seriously awful. I enjoyed my 3 hour lunch break today. Seneca skiers right was my second favorite.

Warm and dry May and June...April is still ski season

Today was OK...Hullabaloo(groomed) and Darby(ungroomed) were fun, everything else was fast and firm...and then they opened Lies! Incredible

I know the thread was broken out, but I am planning on skiing tomorrow so I looked at the Gore conditions....knowing what I know from yesterday, suds will be on Open pit until I can't stand anymore. Tomorrow will have something for everyone...it's getting thin but at Gore, you can almost always...

Don't Go and you won't know. Mad River (my absolute favorite mountain in the east) doesn't have near the fire power of Gore's snowmaking. Wild Air has a shit ton of snow and quicksilver was holding up well for the bottom. Didn't ski twister or sunway to the end. Showcase isn't going to make...

The word of the day...Inversion! Anyone who ventured to the top knows you have to go to know. When they dropped the rope to top ridge the ski patroler said you could only go Uncas to straightbrook. Everybody listed but us...there was no rope so we did top ridge. We got first track but there...
