And Thursday. Topridge chair down for a couple of hours mid morning.

Don’t let the marketing report run your life, as the afternoon first edition is grossly inaccurate and the morning revision, if you can wait until after 8 am for it, is often only slightly less so. When they start spinning the lifts around 8 you can check Sunway on the base area webcam...

The competitions are scheduled for Monday through Friday, but it will not affect skiing any more than it already does, as Wild Air and Arena are already closed for snowmaking and course building. There may be a section of the main parking lot closed off for competitors, officials, etc. The first...

The Sunday afternoon “Monday” report was literally the Sunday report with minimal edits, showing everything that was open on Sunday as still open today. The revised report shows 9 lifts, not 14, a pretty normal Monday . But “ The Hudson Chair will be open, so venture to the classic trails at the...

It’s not that there’s a lot of horizontal at Gore. It’s that the information they are putting out is wrong at best and lies at worst, which will result in skiers (otherwise known as paying customers) getting stuck places and having a long uphill walk back to where they need to be. Once their...

Never trust the marketing report.

They may not have groomed last night, but the report for Wednesday said the same thing and virtually everything had been groomed, or if it hadn’t it didn’t ski significantly different from what had. We skied every pod except Topridge and Ski Bowl (that one wasn’t open) and conditions were...

I’m seeing one (or two) in the back yard modified into a chicken coop or mini greenhouse.

If we’re lucky they will get stuck in a Bill Murray time warp endless loop and not be able to vote on any of this stuff.

Holiday break 2025

Does that include drive train refurbishing? Without those gear and bearing things those new cars might not be going anywhere. Like putting new fuzzy dice in the old winter beater.

You can buy a nice tiny house for that, complete with bathroom, kitchen, plumbing and electric. Maybe Hochul could assign ORDA to deal with NYS’s housing shortage that she was just speechifying about.

You are only thinking in terms of YOUR interest, alpine skiing. Whether you care or not, Gore has become a center for recreational and competitive Nordic skiing as other venues have been lost due to lack of snow. And there’s the planned roller coaster zip line thingy planned for summer use...

1. The new lodge is not just about alpine. B. I agree 100% that there is no need for a high speed lift to replace the Hudson chair. That lift is 3733’. Fixed grip lifts travel approximately 500 feet per minute, detachable at 1000 FPM. An article I read quoted Aspen’s policy as keeping a lift...

Amen. We had missed out on Burnt Ridge being open on Friday so we headed there first today. Brilliant sun almost felt warm even though the temp was around 20, and no wind. Everything in the pod skied great except for Sagamore, which was mostly crud until the last pitch which was lovely pow. If...

I like that ORDA spends money on stuff that a private area would not. Their mandate is not turning a profit. Besides running a ski area, it’s preserving the Adirondack forest and the historic parts of that ski area (snowmaking on Pipeline, Peaceful Valley, Wood Out), supporting other Olympic...

ORDA’s intent for that lodge is for multi use for various activities. Hyping it as another base and alternative parking area with improved lifts/trails/snowmaking is their token effort at selling it to the alpine skiers.

I doubt that it’s unwillingness to spend on payroll. With unemployment at near record low, it’s more likely they can’t hire enough. Snowmakers, groomers, lifties, mechanics and ski patrol are all semi skilled to highly skilled positions, you can’t just hire someone off the street and train them...

It’s ORDA’s wet dream!

Who’s volunteering to jump in that first cabin tomorrow morning?
