    Whiteface Conditions

    I think that was definitely a contributing factor on the mountain, but there was an inversion in the morning, and the clouds were evident throughout the low lying areas.

    Bit of a rough day today (not completely unexpected given the recent weather) ... clouds sitting on the lower mountain all morning, but beautiful up top ... in some spots, you couldn't see five feet in front of you ... they had to close Excelsior at about 10:00 am ... one of the turns (6) was...

    ORDA Snowmaking Improvements

    My first post in this thread, but I have to echo what some others have said ... The snowmaking capacity at Whiteface appears to be like nothing I've seen here before. There were guns all the way down approach continuing down Mountain Run. More guns going on Draper's Drop and more still on...

    Fall Weather 2022

    You might want to take a look at your ski days from the 2020/2021 season ... this weekend (first weekend in December) was the FIRST weekend of the season for a lot of areas, and many more didn't open for another one or two weeks.

    Whiteface Conditions

    Conditions were very good this morning, considering it was 40+ degrees yesterday with a fair amount of rain, followed by cold temperatures and howling wind all night. By 11:00, things were definitely getting skied off, but it was much better than I expected until then.

    Whiteface Conditions

    Yellow Dot was the narrow trail that cut through the woods on the top of Victoria and opened up onto Lower Skyward. It dropped you out right under the lift, a little uphill of Blazer's Bluff. They made that into an actual trail, to give people who mistakenly get to the top of Victoria an...

    Today was my last day for the 2021/2022 season. :( I thought conditions were really good today, a great way to finish out my season. Already looking forward to late November.

    Les 3 Vallees, France: Jan 2022

    Yes. The current president of the club is a friend of mine from work, so at the start of the trip, he was the only person I knew in the group. I think there were one or two others that I had met on previous trips. I guess it depends on your definition of old. I would say that the majority of...

    Whiteface Conditions

    The lines were definitely a "problem" ... We're pretty spoiled and definitely not used to that ... Usually if the Summit Lift is crowded, you can go to Little Whiteface and/or Freeway to get away from the lines ... not yesterday, at least from mid-morning to early afternoon. We were wondering...

    Whiteface Conditions

    Overall, I thought conditions were pretty good this weekend, considering the weather situation. It seemed to me that they did the best they could with what they had to work with. They did some "touch-up" snowmaking here and there, and overall, the grooming was good. The Wilmington Trail was...

    I don't know much about snowmobiling, but isn't he facing the wrong way?

    Another very good day yesterday, in fact, MUCH better than expected. They did a very good job with grooming to deal with the change in weather. Skied from 8:30 to around noon, and everything I skied was good. Conditions were definitely better at the higher elevations than lower ... there was...

    I had a great day ... Conditions were ... interesting ... It was definitely the kind of day where you had to figure things out, but that said, I had my best day of the season (at Whiteface) today. Didn't go into the trees at all, but found really good snow all day on Essex, Victoria (for most of...

    Whiteface Conditions

    I hadn't planned to ski today, but early this morning, I received a text from a friend who mentioned that he was going to go over for a couple of hours this morning, and wanted to know if I'd like to meet him there. Initially, I was thinking no ... I've got too much work to do. I looked at my...

    I was at Whiteface this morning skiing with two friends. On our first gondola ride, it was the three of us, and they loaded a young woman and another gentleman, who I'm assuming was her father. The three of us did not have our masks up, but the other two people did. As the doors closed, it...
