    It's a safe space.

    Whiteface Conditions

    That snow did ground out nicely. One gun working today near the main pump house. A patrolled (I assume) was on Mountain Run. It looks like they were putting up pads on the towers. If any terrain opens (IF!), it would probably be Approach - Mountain Run - Thruway - Draper's, with the upper...

    Building a House with Wood

    You might want to pick the roof color first as that has the least amount of selection. Then base the other colors relative to the roof and, if you don't like, start over again. I suggest a gray over a brown. Gray is a hue and not a color. I couldn't tell you the definitions of each, but I...

    Whiteface Conditions

    Bluebird day with no wind. Whalebacks top to bottom on Excelsior, and good quality snow at that. Hopefully it pounds out well and is not too damp. No snowmaking at all this morning. It's cold enough but not running. There seems to be enough snow on Approach but not enough on Mountain...

    Windham Mountain Going Private?

    Although you could have gone with the assumption they were flying privately, it sure wasn't stupid to ask. Your regular probably got a charge out of saying that.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    TomCat is right about finishing turns. Unless there is an uphill outrun, there are only 3 ways to control speed: finishing turns, snow plowing and (controlled) falling. What prevents you from finishing a turn? For novice skiers, it's often that you have too much edge on your ski. Often it's...

    Whiteface Conditions

    Yesterday was sunny at the top with softening conditions through the day. Excelsior was....uhh....firm. Softer snow below Lower Valley. Today was gray bit with soft snow all over. Almost hero-like. I heard of issues with the water intake for snowmaking. They have a couple of days before...

    Missing RIT student - Possibly in the Adirondacks

    Is it just me? If you're going to get the public all riled up and bring them in as stakeholders to the outcome about somebody going missing, I think you owe it to that constituency to explain what happened.

    Total Solar Eclipse coming to NY: April 8, 2024

    Not if you have files in "the cloud."

    Whiteface Conditions

    At first I thought it might be on fire, but that would be too Cuyahoga-River-fire-type of ironic to be true. The Zapruter-like graininess of the picture adds to the mystery.

    ORDA's Biggest Wins

    It may not be another win yet, but it's the 2 minute warning with a significant lead. I'm talking about The Notch, the new chair. I've been following the progress. I'm hopeful that they will have it open before Christmas. I've seen a couple of lift replacements before and usually they're...

    It depends on if you're able to handle them or not.

    @Harvey shouldn't this be in the New Member Intro thread where people explain their handle?
