Gore usually puts out their snow report around 4-5pm the prior day. So you should have a good feel for what will be open this weekend by 5 on Thursday. Their reports do tend to be a bit optimistic and, as always, assume Echo is closed for racing/training.

In a 12-page thread of keyboard warriors whining about their favorite ski resorts, that's what triggers you?

Higher toilet seats so that you can poop with ski boots on.

Thank god for Gore's gondola and Ruby Run.

A lot of areas in Vermont (Okemo, Killington, Mount Snow, Magic, Bromley, Stratton) as well as Whiteface are all a shorter drive from Saratoga/Malta/Clifton Park than Belleayre and much better when considering midweek.

That's what she said.

Longer lifespan (the bases don't dry out and potentially crack or shrink) and the wax makes them glide better. It's like putting lotion on dry skin.

Backwoods opening tomorrow (1/26) per Gore's Twitter account.

Across the river from Saratoga Winners (RIP).

My sister and father live in Halfmoon now. Much easier drive to the mountains from there than Long Island!

One of these is not like the others.

In practice: yes, but Tannery used to extend all the way down past the (then non-existent) Topridge Chair to the base. I only took it once. It was a lot like the old Juggernaut at Killington. Lots of skating. Twister used to be much, much narrower--like Quicksilver is now.
