    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Firm and fast as expected today, but good overall. Hawkeye was scraped off when I arrived around 11:00. Everything else was good. Almost no visibility early. At one point on AE2, I couldn’t see the chair in front of me. Tom

    Poll: The Impact of the Epic Pass

    Late comment here on the pass. It’s good for the serious skier. Good price plus lots of options. But for the occasional skier ( a few weekends per year) it’s terrible, because the daily rate has gone through the roof to push everyone to the pass. Think about taking a family of four for a weekend...

    Around 1:00, I was getting rained on sitting on the north quad. about half way up it was a mix and by the time I got to the saddle it was all snow. Skied down wild air and no precipitation at the bottom. But I was wet and decided ho head home. I thought conditions held up pretty well today...

    Hickory Ski Center Pricing 2021/22

    $10.00 for kids on the t bar sounds like a nice option to teach a couple of kids to ski. Tom

    The log jam was where you can take either cloud or upper steilhang (which was closed). Tom

    It was really good early. By early afternoon a lot of stuff was getting skied off. But my last run down wild air was really good. So a bit of hit or miss in the afternoon. Hawkeye had huge moguls. Maybe that’s why there was so much traffic on cloud. Tom

    I wasn’t teaching kids this morning. But I think tom McP was. I was at the Poma teaching four young ladies. Today, there was a 5 minute log jam on cloud around 1:00. A lot of people that didn’t really belong there. Tom

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    The lifties are part of the crew that makes skiing possible so cut them as much slack as possible. They have to deal with customers that want to ride solo followed by someone that wants the chair full. I’m sure it gets old really fast. Tom

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    There are some nice snowshoe/XC trails off the north end of golf course rd. If the snow isn't too deep, hiking boots would be fine. Nice views of the river. Also you may want to look up the "Chester challenge" which lists a few hiking trails in Chestertown. It includes a difficulty rating so...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I didn't ski weekends/holidays last year so I can't comment on holiday crowds. I did find the lodges to be less crowded from 10:45-11:30; after the mid morning warming break and before lunch. It was a good time to have a big snack which let me put off lunch until after 1:00. Of course skiing...

    I already feel for the lift attendants at the top of the gondola that will have to deal with complaints when passengers refuse to cover their faces. They probably don’t have a choice about full gondolas if they want to keep the lines manageable during the holiday. Tom

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Variable conditions today. Some spots scraped, some mashed potatoes and some really good. Hopefully we get some snow tomorrow, the warm temps are taking their toll. Also cold weather on the way will allow the snow makers to work their magic. Tom

    Agreed. Very good again today. Snowmaking on tannery ended mid morning but continued on pine knot until at least lunch time. Tom

    Great conditions today all around. Many thanks to the staff that made the skiing so good. They were making snow on pine knot when I passed by around 10:30. Tom

    Top ridge was excellent. Sun softened it up nicely. North and wild air were good. Subway, between wild air and quick silver was a bit rough with lots of golf ball sized chunks. Given the weather it was pretty good overall. Tom
