    Gore Mountain Conditions

    The gate is closed at the top of the road and no one will bother you if you park near there. If it is open, pick your spot. The time you are arriving shouldn't be considered overnight. The only sign says no overnight parking the last mile or so. I will guess you won't be alone.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I agree with everything Tom said. I wasn't going to ski today but had a few hours to kill so headed up. I thought conditions all week were amazing considering what mother nature is throwing at us. JTG I had this conversation today. I would say the woods will be skiable with a moderate dense...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Ditto...I made it to the saddle to pee and check the webcams. Talk to Jim about what he heard and did Sleeping Bear and Tahawus then back to Sagamore before 1 last 46er. Still edgeable at noon! Not sure what the main areas were like but the groomers outdid themselves on Sagamore and 46er...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I was there today and very impressed by the amount of snow that is currently stached. Ma Natch throws us a positive curve and we can be golden...if not, we're prepared. Thank you snowmakers and groomers. You guys killed it this year!

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I hate to say it but it is just like Darby and Hullabaloo now. We skied it today...eh, maybe with bumps? We never left the summit, and topridge today. Damn this mountain skis big when everything is in play. I had fun today.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Skied yesterday and it was better than expected. They opened Burnt Ridge very early (on a Monday) and everything was in play. Soft snow everywhere. We did our time there and moved to the summit. Lies and Rumor were better than they looked. Rumor was hard but edgeable...softer as you got...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Amen! That's why I am home today chipping ice, grocery shopping...making her happy. I will be there tomorrow morning. I did do a selfish thing and took an evening job so I can take advantage of days like Friday before work. I don't mind Monday closures. They are all open on Wednesday, my...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    No we don't ask people to leave they just get frustrated and go. Motel 6/Super 8(Gore) vs. Marriott/Hilton(Killington). How about Welcome to Gore...wait and hour or two and we will have it figured out. Case in point...If they decide to open the Hudson Chair tomorrow, I don't expect it will...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    NYSEF used to run a downhill on Twister for the little one up to JlV I believe. That became speed camp for the bigger kids on Twister (Echo was new at this time) They ran a super-G at the end of camp. Can't remember a downhill for the elite. I believe Echo is rated for Super-G but not...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Wednesday...everything available except the bowl wasn't open and I think some of the ropes were because of lack of ski patrol, which I saw very few of today. "Gore, It is what it is. If you don't like it ski somewhere else" That will be my t-shirt. All this bitching and complaining has gone...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Echo was built as a racing trail. It is the only FIS certified run ay Gore. I think there is an FIS race this month at Gore and yes it brings money. I am a recovered race parent. BTW skiing was excellent today. With the north chair closed the last two days, the snow piled up in Tahawus...

    Can't wait to ski Sagamore tomorrow. First groom...eh...but it is supposed to open! But then again, it's Gore and it may not open. I am going to go so I know.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Yesterday was Make your own Funday Monday. I enjoyed it. I had enough to keep my attention for 5 plus hours and plenty of powder shots with the 2-3 inches that fell the day before. A bit of ice appeared in spots but was easy to avoid. Chati probably had the worst but if you stayed left in...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    We had our issues today but it was my second favorite day of the year so far(Monday was the best). The best IMO runs I am aloud to talk about were Chati, Lower Darby and Darby Woods(KHS). KHS may have been my favorite but I really enjoyed under the straightbrook chair(which I still don't know...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I had to get some house work done so it was either yesterday or today...not both. I skied yesterday and probably made the wrong choice but I want to thank the groomers for getting something worthwhile to ski. If anyone wants to bash the groomers just remember back not too long ago about the...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    This is my first time to chime in after working late and running errands this morning. Thank you to the snow makers and groomers...yesterday was way better than expected. Norhing like the picture above but I think that crazy weather kept the opening day crowds at a perfect level. Love the layout...

    Coronavirus and Skiing

    When I coached softball I thought the 11-13year olds were the worst. Jason, my 27yr old moved out with her boyfriend(now fiance) and my wife told him...you can't give her back. My 26 year old lives with her boyfriend under our roof. We don't charge them but they make up for it. My girls are...

    East Coast Ski Trip Outside of NY

    I have nothing against snowboarders and I think if I lived out west I would ride one. I used to make a crude version back in the 70s. I started skiing around 74 and never looked back. Oh and Chip on his Alpine Board is fun to watch at Gore. Pure Carve. I would not have a problem with MRG...

    East Coast Ski Trip Outside of NY

    If you had a share of MRG you wouldn't think it was a lame rule. Betsy was awesome and did allow boards and only restricted them from the single when they were losing a lot of ski time because the boarders would pull the cable off the top pully when getting off. You did not want to piss her...
