After the 1980 Olympics, Lake Placid’s venues met WC standard for a decade or so after, and it hosted many WCs in alpine, nordic, biathlon, bobsled. By the 2000s they no longer could. After the upgrades they can again bid for WCs. Honestly, a WC may draw more Euros to take a vacation in the US...

I just discovered that WUG events from Gore and Lake Placid are on ESPN+, a paid subscription streaming service. Both live events and replays of past ones are being streamed. I borrowed my son’s password and am watching the snowboard cross semis and finals from Gore that happened yesterday. The...

Not sure what you will be able to see. It looks like you could walk around the fence steering skiers from Jamboree and Sunway to the base area and get up to the fence around the runout area past the finish line/timing shed. Other than that all surrounding terrain is closed. You might be lucky...

Tomorrow's report says High Peaks chair not running again. This season The Dark Side has taken on a new meaning.

I wouldn’t plan on it for Presidents’ Week either.

I’m not comparing snowmaking, as MRG basically has none. I’m comparing the honesty in the descriptions of what is on the mountain.

A few hours of rain and not going anywhere close to freezing tonight. I’d take the snow report with a large dose of salts. Rest assured that there will be plenty of snow on Wild Air and Arena.

The most brutally honest snow report I’ve ever read, for yesterday from Mad River Glen: “Following the best week of holiday skiing in recent memory we’re sad to report that this stretch of packed powder is coming to an end. Yesterday we arose to cloudy skies which quickly gave way to the sun...

The problem is that we’re entering January, not April.

With a limited number of patrollers to close and sweep many trails, ropes may go up earlier. Also, the last skiers under the rope need time to ski down to the lift and ride it out of that pod before the lift closes.

You forgot the /s.

With all the hype given to the new trail from Burnt Ridge to the ski bowl interconnect and the new (not yet begun) lodge earlier this year, and the relatively few days that the connection has been open in the past, many were hoping (at least I was) that the interconnect trails would move up on...

From the daily snow report: “…on trails including “Backwoods,” our new intermediate-rated run on Burnt Ridge…The 60-foot wide intermediate “Backwoods” trail will offer skiers and riders a more direct and convenient route to Little Gore and the North Creek Ski Bowl, and another fun option while...

That would be one of the oldest and most unreliable lifts on the mountain?

I skied yesterday with Milo and the entire mountain, groomed and ungroomed, was fabulous. One of my most memorable Gore runs ever was Upper Steilhang to running the snow gun gauntlet on Cloud (why are you blasting snow on one of the two trails open off Straightbrook?) to ungroomed natural on...

Merle Haggard called, he wants his song back.

It may be a Gore thing (and some other mountains as well). I recall struggling to get there through the tail end of a two footer and being surprised that the main lot was overflowing on a Wednesday. I skied Bromley, which got just as much snow, two days later on Friday and there were hardly any...

50 YEARS? Wow, you must be REALLY OLD!
