Yep ... Pretty rough today. Oddly enough, Skyward and The Wilmington Trail were probably the best. Last Sunday I said if you didn't have a great day, you were probably doing it wrong ... If you had a great day today, you were probably in the bar!!! Nice to meet & take some runs with you as...

I'll be there!

Oh wow ... I missed that!!! Good catch!

Others have covered a lot of it, but here's some more ... There is a free shuttle that runs between Lake Placid and Whiteface. Here's a link to the schedule: Lake Placid-Whiteface Shuttle As Snoloco mentioned, if it's nice day, she can get a foot passenger ticket for the Gondola. She should be...

If you didn't have a great day today ... you're just not doing it right!!!

I had a 50/50 shot!

Better late than never!

Yes ... It was open today.

It weeded me out! I did one run in 2B ... there was plenty of snow but it was kind of crunchy when I went through. Just not quite good enough to make the hike in worth it ... The new hike is a "B" itch.

No ... Haven't skied with him in a few years! :(

Love the sunrise? shots!!!

This is excellent advice, particularly "what looks like fun". For me, it's all about being able to see what I'm getting into, before I get into it, so that I can assess whether or not it's something that I feel I can handle. If you read my Fernie trip report, I described "Corner Pocket". On...

The sun was something of a unicorn ... there were very few moments where we saw the sun. Visibility was a constant problem throughout our trip. Staying in the trees helped a lot, but it was still pretty tough. Polar Peak was only open for about 2 hours that day ... Part of the reason we didn't...

There are actually a number of signs (if they're still there) along the Wilmington Trail that identify different sections of the trail ... I don't remember them all off the top of my head, but in addition to "The Mudhole", there's "Fir Wave", "Marble Pitch", "Deer Valley" and "Bear Den Corner"...

The Summary The skiing was phenomenal. On a scale of 1 – 10, I'd give it a 15. The overall experience was probably about a 7. Fernie is pretty remote, and the town is not much of a resort town. There weren't a lot of restaurants, and most of the shops in town closed at 5:00. There are condos...

The Skiing At the time of our visit, Fernie was having a “down” year. They were 1 – 2 meters below their average snowfall for this time of year. Luckily for us, we got there at a good time. Most of the days we were there, anywhere from 2 – 5 inches of snow had fallen overnight or early in the...

The Mountain Fernie's slogan is “Five Legendary Bowls”. The mountain is divided into these five bowls and two additional “zones”. Looking “up” the mountain, the bowls from left to right are Siberia, Timber, Currie, Lizard & Cedar. The Polar Peak zone is positioned above Currie Bowl and the...

Introduction It was time for another “bucket list” trip … Fernie Alpine Resort in British Columbia. I had booked the trip with the ski club I've travelled with a few times over the past few years which is based out of New York City. For this trip, I booked my air travel separately from the...

I feel the same way ... Despite what you may think based on my posts, I am very pro-ORDA. Overall, I think they do a very good job, but that doesn't mean they're perfect, nor does it mean that they shouldn't be accountable for their mistakes. I attended the World Cup ski jumping competition...

As my forum name indicates, Whiteface is my "home" mountain, so I'll limit my comments to it. Where to begin ... (and I'm trying to keep this short!) Yes ... Of course and absolutely ... the Little Whiteface chair needs to be replaced with a more reliable lift. How and what to replace it with...
