    East/West trail difficulty rating comparisons

    You will be fine, have a great time! Another vote for if you can do eastern blues you’ll be fine on western blues. They may be steeper but in general conditions are better, if there’s ice it’s rare.

    Gold status today. Entrance is hiking up the bank again, presumably to weed people out. On the way in patrol said snow conditions aren’t the best, slides 2b and 3 are recommended. So that’s what we did, they were better than 1 was yesterday.

    Pretty nice so far today. Not a lot of people yet, cloudy but sun is trying to poke out. Gondola just stopped

    Lol. Dude I’ve been in there before I know the deal. I’m surely not going to be your partner today as you asked in a PM because I must not be ready

    I’m not sure how to describe it other than variable. Some sections were like a foot of refrozen heavy stuff. Others were crud, others were fun. Lot of work. The photos marketing posted on Facebook when they opened with all the powder definitely weren’t from yesterday, but the later post...

    Gapers are what let the mountains make enough money to keep the lifts spinning…and a generally never ending form of entertainment

    Fun day today. Many gapers. Was a couple cars behind a Rivian up 28 that hit the access road at 8:05 - was that one of you guys? The Tesla looked long buried then

    My first time in the Slides I was in line and someone said to a patroller “I’ve never been in before, where should I go?” The patroller loudly repeated “you’ve never been in the slides before?” Then said “The slides are only open for people who have experience in the slides. Please exit the...

    6.5” on my deck at 6:15 this morning. Looks to have been very windy on the mountain. Be @ overlook by 8:15 having a Powder Day IPA come say hi.

    I thought it was pretty fun today. Seneca top to bottom has sweet gun pow. Probably did that six times. Guns were going on Algonquin, Wana, and Winisook in the morning. Day shift must have started them after 7 because there wasn’t much on them until the afternoon. Belleayre run had snowmaking...

    Two quotes from friends about conditions this morning: "Ehhh, decent recovery all things considered but the gnar is lurking. Upper belleayre run under guns nice" and "Snow has been fun. Great recovery!!"

    Heard it was hard as a rock today even though it was raining. My friend that’s a die hard did one and done. I’m skipping it tomorrow, give it a shot Sunday with low hopes. I just looked and both tomorrow and Sunday are sold out. They don’t hold any for walk ups, but the free ticket that comes...

    And there’s the dealbreaker. And also this was sold as “beginners can walk right out of the rental shop right onto the snow without walking up the hill.” Nobody that has watched that beginner area on a busy day can possibly think moving it there was a good idea. But here we are on what, year 5?

    Agree. It’s too steep and too short. A better beginner area would be where the pond skim was held last year, up in front of the discovery lodge in the large unused area on skiers left.

    I have not heard if there has been a decision on the new lift 7 yet. After the amended 2015 UMP was released, I was in a meeting with Mike Pratt and asked that question. Their plan at the time was to make it a fixed grip with no mid station. And also to wreck Utsy and the goat path to make...

    There haven’t been bumps on any of the lower sections all year long, just the tops. Plenty of bumps at Mary Jane

    Yep, no more bumps on Seneca since the Gondi was installed. Nor onteora.
