    Gore Mountain Conditions

    In past years, I recall gore getting sunway to quick silver and showcase open and then moving to top ridge and the summit. It’s mid December and the whole lower mountain is open. Given the cold December this might have been the right call. Tom

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I don’t blame you for wanting to avoid the weekends, but if you ski early you can get 1.5-2 hours on bear cub without much crowds. Then between 12 and 1 there are no kids lessons so the area will again be pretty empty. I have suggested a fence to keep the bear cub area separate from the main...

    NY Prop 1 2025

    So this was decided by NYC residents who were at the polls to vote for mayor. That may have also been by design. Tom

    NY Prop 1 2025

    Agreed. It would be more meaningful to have votes limited to people within a certain distance of Mt Ho. Why should people in buffalo or Long Island be voting on this. I can see a state wide vote for a major constitutional question Tom

    Living in the Mountains

    The draw in the summer are the lakes. Why stay in north creek when you can rent a cabin on a lake for a week? Years ago gore would work with local lodging to create ski and stay packages. I don’t see much of that. Why not offer 50% off lift tickets for people that stay in local motels midweek? Tom

    Living in the Mountains

    Maybe a little off topic but I was up a week ago to check out foliage and the only place open for dinner in north creek was becks. Becks is fine but that means no where to eat Monday-Thursday. Barking spider will be an option when tge cook recovers. This is a sad situation in my opinion Tom

    F Vail

    Tragic. There cannot be a happy ending to this story. Think of the pressure on the liftee making $15.00/hr. Watch the folks waiting to advance to the chair, watch the people loading, check the restraining bar, checking that all have their backs against the chair. Repeat … Tom

    ORDA's Biggest Mistakes

    What better way to get the pols to ante up for the sewage system? Likely the cost for sewage plus lodge was too high to get approved. I watched this movie many times in private industry. Its not efficient or very ethical, but it gets the project done. Tom

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    It was pretty rough early today before it got soft. Wild air skied well after 10 but getting there wasn’t so easy. I think sunway has graduated from beginner to intermediate. Some puddles at the bottom are deeper than they look. Ask me how I know. Tom

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I only skied quick silver and twister at the bottom today. Twister is pretty thin in spots. Quick silver had good coverage. Sunway at the top is thin but manageable. There is a lot of snow at the summit. Tom

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I saw a patroller shoveling snow onto wood in this morning. Sunway is a mess by the saddle and wild air. The rest is still ok. The precip was mostly snow and sleet higher up. Tom
