    ~20 inches of new snow and the gondola was on mechanical hold - I think it started up around noon or so. Unbelievable - I am 2 miles away, literally, and we never lost power, so when I got to the lodge early, I was shocked they didn't have power but their power just came on when we got there...

    In my opinion ....it doesn't get any better than today ...packed powder trails ...heard Wilmington Trail got a bit bumped up later in the day but didn't ski it. Lot of cars in the parking lot early ....River parking lot filled by 8:00 ish but it didn't translate to busy lifts ....gondola looked...

    Total Solar Eclipse coming to NY: April 8, 2024

    I would think that a lack of sunlight and neither mountain equipped with lighted trails would be a huge liability problem to run the gondola. You know some idiot is going take off down a trail on skis or hike somewhere they are not supposed to. People are dumb.

    I normally don't do things like this but I'm pretty proud of my son. A 9 year old feels so strong to help out, he's gonna shave his head. If you feel so inclined to help out - that's great - any little bit is appreciated. https://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/1142880/2024#content...

    Regarding Whiteface - getting off at mid Little Whiteface lift puts you at the same spot that the Freeway lift ends - so they service the same area.

    I would have to think - based on the weather changes - a reservoir has to be built, at some point, to sustain snow making. Snow making is the only thing that is keeping these resorts alive. This season was a prime example of that.
