But can it tap dance and sing “Puttin’ on the Ritz?”

So an average of 5-6 weekends of three days a week sounds like a new high speed quad that will run less than 25 days a year. 🤔😵‍💫😱🤬

When ORDA has to fall back to its core philosophy of never backing down and always doubling down in the face of complaints/opposition. Does that sound like someone we know? 🤔

…said no one ever.

Maybe they need to hold another one of these (circa 2021). https://www.weqx.com/events/gore-mountain-snowmaking-job-fair/

The daily snow report, FB, IG are all marketing PR. All good news all the time. A daily chorus of Kumbaya.

I’m the first one to jump on the Trash Gore Bus, but that’s not gravel you’re seeing on Tahawus. I skied it three times yesterday and it has consistently had the best snow all season. There are a lot of gravel spots on the mountain, but 98% of what you see on Tahawus is conifer twigs blown out...

Your picture should have included his license plate.

Gore yesterday was good where it was and horrible/inaccessible where it wasn’t. The New Year warm spell and rain completely eliminated the base on Sunway from the Saddle down to Wild Air, leaving a massive ice and gravel field. Unless you’re willing to destroy your skis, it has split the lower...

“Rock Skis Reccommended Required” FIFY

That’s the one on Sunway. Just about every skier on the mountain has to navigate it at least once. Generating lots of tuning business.

No guns on the gravel fields on Chatiemac or (more importantly) Sunway?

The weather is the least of Gore’s problems. I skied today with someone who was told by a mountain host that, since Howie’s retirement , ORDA is attempting to to go with one snowmaking manager for all three ski areas, and also that there is a broken pump for pushing Hudson River water up the...

Whiteface skiers are too busy skiing on all of their open terrain.

Start posting this stuff on the Gore FB page, which usually reads like a rousing chorus of Kumbaya. When the paying customers get restless management needs to know. Last year the squeaky wheel at Whiteface got greased.

The guns were blazing on all of High Peaks yesterday, probably will reopen for the weekenders. I was disappointed in the “new snow.” Most of the mountain was firm corduroy. The warm weather and rain have left lots of bare spots to avoid. Huge areas down to the ice and gravel on Sunway from the...

I had the opposite take, but maybe because I avoid days like this that I know will be crowded like the plague. By mid day every lift except Topridge and Straightbrook had long lines, even North Quad. Trails packed with testosterone-driven adolescent straight liners. Conditions started out very...

At the summit ya poop into a holding tank. A septic service truck drives up there in the spring and empties it.

I have heard that when the gondola and trails were first built on Bear, the plan was to build some kind of lodge there (if it was to replace Saddle Lodge, that would have made Gore even more gondola-centered). That’s likely why they bulldozed such a large area. That ship probably sailed when it...
