Yeah ... Rumors of it's "demise" were apparently overblown ... The story that was apparently going around yesterday was that the motor was blown ... today, I heard it was a derailment ... I left at 11:00 ... it was running and there were a bunch of patrollers near the bottom ... hopefully...

Yeah ... I saw that ... I also noticed something else, that I've never actually noticed before ... apparently, the gondola counts as TWO lifts ... They must be using the same math to calculate the ROI on the new Bear Den lift.

I lucked out by a couple of minutes ... I feel really bad for the people who were stuck on it over Lower Skyward getting blasted by the guns the whole time. ORDA has made a "big deal" about safety the last few years ... how safe is it to load people on a chair lift that you know has issues...

GREAT conditions this morning ... best of the season so far that I've skied at Whiteface. Skied until about 11:00 ... by then, the snow was starting to get a little piled up and it wasn't quite as good as it was first thing, but it was still very good. I don't think they opened Skyward, but...

For Whiteface, I cast my vote for: Other changes not included in poll Improve Reliability was one of the poll options, that's what I would have selected. I'd just like for things to work better. As we all know, weather over the past several years has been a challenge. When the weather...

Honestly, if you're being objective about it, I think this is a very interesting point. With the huge sums of money the state has sunk into the ORDA facilities in recent years (and I'm not complaining about that), when you look at the skier visits and revenue figures posted elsewhere in this...

Haven't seen that much law enforcement at Whiteface since "Sacramento Man"!!!

Damn!!!!

No ... Not true at all ... If this had been your post, I would have had absolutely no issue with it. THIS ^^^ is what I have issue with.

This is stupid. With the weather being what it's been this season, no one is expecting that the Wilmington Trail or even Skyward should be open by now. Snowmaking temps finally returned this past Saturday, and they were making a lot of snow on Parons, Easy Street, Victoria and in a few other...

I had a similar experience ... When I clicked on a thread, in the reply panel at the bottom of the screen, it showed me as a different user each time, and instead of a "Post Reply" button in the lower right corner, there was a link about logging in, but I don't remember exactly what it said...

This is my 20th season as a Whiteface "regular". Every year we hear about all the "improvements" they've made ... new pump-houses ... miles of new pipes ... new guns ... etc, etc, etc, ... and every year, it's the same thing ... For whatever reason ... it just doesn't seem to matter how much...

Good to know that can be said for at least one of the ORDA mountains ... Not a single gun going at Whiteface when I left this morning at around 10:45. I overheard someone saying that they blew a pump or something, but I have no idea. Whiteface never fails to disappoint. They were blowing the...

This ^ too!

This ^

I'd have to agree with TJF on this one, especially if you've never been to Whiteface, and assuming you can use that same pass at Belleayre or Whiteface. If it turns out that it's going to be a powder day at Belleayre, and not in the ADK's, then by all means, go to Belleayre. Otherwise, for the...

I guess my issue with this lift really comes down to the dollars and sense of it. No privately owned and operated mountain would ever consider this lift. The price tag is just WAY too high (due to the complexities of the path it must take), and the bang for the buck just isn't there. But, since...

I think they kind of make the point in the quote I posted . Year round access to the new Legacy Lodge. It's my belief that they want to make that lodge available for events in the Summer, like weddings and that sort of thing. That's really the driving force here. (all presumption - no facts)...

Don't worry ... This will solve all of the problems. :confused: That will be a much better use of taxpayer dollars than replacing the Little Whiteface chair and/or the Summit Quad with a reliable lift.

I skied Snowbird Wednesday and Thursday this week. Visibility was a shit-show, but the snow was stupid. Some of the stuff I got into was so deep, it was simply beyond description. Went to Alta today ... the storm had cleared out, temps plunged, but blue skies and sunshine were the order of the...
