We did exactly what you suggested, got several runs there before moving on to other pods. For some perspective on the effect of the wind at other areas, at Whiteface Facelift, Gondola, Summit Quad, Little Whiteface, and Lookout were closed all day. At Bromley the summit lifts were on wind hold...

Take the marketing report, both the afternoon before and the “morning update,” with a large dose of salts. It appears that the narrative at the top and the lift/trail status lists below are prepared by different staff possibly at different times, and the probability of accuracy of both/either...

FYI the mountain opens from bottom to top. It’s not unusual for the ropes to drop on trails to the summit lifts until well after 9am on a normal day, let alone one where everything’s buried in 10-20 inches. I concur with Campgottagopee, some pharmaceutical relief may be in order.

Plus even if they arrived when they were supposed to it takes some time to clear the lifts ofa foot+. First world problem.

We skied everything that was open at Burnt Ridge and Ski Bowl today and it looks like Paradox between the bridges is cooked. Today was likely the last day for Ski Bowl access, but they might be able to keep Backwoods open by routing traffic across both bridges and down the left side of Roaring...

Crisis management. After numerous complaints about snowmaking and grooming quality and a whistleblower complaint, ORDA sent the Belleayre boss up there to kick ass and take names.

Don’t hold your breath. Even ORDA moves with lightning-like speed compared to the glacial pace of Mets management.

Coming soon to a Saddle Lodge near you. Or maybe kicking out the Waffle Cabin? Or the food vendor in the $30 million Ski Bowl Lodge?

We are post covid. We’re now in the long gradual response to climate change. So let’s expand to a LOWER elevation. What could go wrong?

Hudson chair is not the problem. It is comparable in length, vertical, age (except High Peaks) and speed to the other fixed chairs. If a detachable lift replacement is so necessary, why was High Peaks replaced with another fixed grip? Ski Bowl now has a double black as steep as Lies and two long...

Burnt Ridge used to be the “secret” pod, not any more . I skied it last Wednesday, probably lightest crowd of the holiday week, and found the trails fairly crowded, with a short line at the lift. We had just come from Ski Bowl, which was deserted, in spite of it being the holiday week near the...

A blue trail was needed to get to the Ski Bowl, but it wasn’t necessary to build it where and how it was done. It decimated one of the best and longest glades in the East, cutting it into three short segments (do you prefer the over-skied Bar, the less frequently skied, steeper and more...

One of ORDA’s mission is to develop/improve local economies around their facilities, that seems to have happened at Whiteface but not at Gore or Belleayre, although Wilmington is a semi ghost town with the real action in Lake Placid. A couple of private areas I’m familiar with are at opposite...

I love Moxham. I remember skiing it on late season natural snow years ago, huge bare spots to dodge. A Gore throwback, narrow with lots of turns and changes of pitch. Everything that Backwoods could have been but failed miserably. Speaking of Backwoods, I noticed this view from Ski Bowl today...

I think “slides” was the writer’s poor attempt at humor - she’s a former luger.

Those kids are likely not racing at Gore today. McCauley is in section 3.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your new ORDA CEO. https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/walden-slides-into-olympic-authority-job

High point on Upper Steilhang to the Yurt 4 miles 2500 vf. Did it Friday.

Closest snow day to Gore yesterday was in New Paltz.
