Decided to ski today and it was a good choice. New blown snow on Rocket and Lower Meteor. College slalom on Comet/Outer Orbit. Galaxy Chair was running with Lower Galaxy open. Crowds were not bad despite the bluebird sky. Yes, it's going to be tough going for the next couple of weeks. Did one...

Not there today (Masters race at Hunt Hollow), but according to their Facebook page they are blowing snow to resurface many of the open trails.

At my age, I don't need apres' ski except for maybe a beer in the lodge. If I've got the energy to go out, I haven't skied hard enough....................

Yes, my wife wanted to go out to dinner for my birthday on Tuesday, but we ate in. Tried Wednesday, but everything was closed. We were staying on Friends Lake and it looked like the closest open places were in Warrensburg. We settled for sandwiches.

Back home, but we skied until about 1:00 today just as the rain started. Finally got over to the Ski Bowl. A little icy, but not bad. Moxham is very cool-turny and twisty. I did 46er with the 13 year old-the steep pitch was scraped, but not too bad. With softer snow (or my slalom skis) it would...

Stayed about 20 minutes away. We're from Rochester, so it's a long commute. Yes, we like the very easy changing and bag storage. Things were busy pretty much all day, but it's vacation week, so to be expected. Gondola gets you different places than the Adirondack Express, so it's worth taking...

Another bluebird day. The girls really seem to be enjoying skiing at a bigger mountain and I'm impressed with the progress the 11 year old is making. Skied Lies in the morning sun with the 13 year old but passed on Rumor. Once again lots of cars, people in the lodge, but no lift lines. Got...

First day at Gore in about 15 years, this time with 13 and 11 year old granddaughters. Bluebird day and despite the cars in the parking lot (we got there about 8:20) the slopes were not crowded. Snow was good for most of the day although it was getting scraped in spots by mid afternoon. The...

We stopped by around 3:20 or so to pickup up the kids passes and get our Frequent skier passes loaded. Glad we did as I'm sure it saved a bunch of time we would have spent in the morning.Looked busy by the number of cars, although tomorrow may be somewhat lighter as it's not a holiday. Haven't...

I'm not at Bristol, but according to their conditions report, they are opening the Galaxy chair along with Lower Galaxy and the area to exit the chair. Looks like they blew snow to resurface several of the other trails too. I can nitpick a lot of things, but i complement the Fullers for their...

Yes, Lower Meteor gets bad quickly, especially with three trails feeding into it. If they get Lower Galaxy open along with the cat track back to the base, it should really help things. But yeah, just too many people for the size of the hill on that day. I can't imagine what Saturday night was...

Good and bad today. Our combined race with Cleveland Metro was kind of a cluster, but after a fair amount of slipping we had a fun (I was dead slow) race top to bottom on Comet/Outer Orbit. Most of the NY Masters skipped the afternoon race-they were still racing at 4:20 or so. The good- there...

Heading up Monday to ski Tuesday, Wed, Thursday with the older granddaughters (13+ 11). The older one had been to Cannon and Loon, but the only place the younger one has skied is Bristol. Yes, we bought their tickets and we have the frequent skier card, so we should be good. Haven't been there...

I'll be there.Sort of faded green/turquoise jacket (my throwdown race coat). No idea what my bib # will be in the race, but a silver/black race suit. If you see me racing from the chair please don't throw snowballs............... :)

This is the first year in 20 or so years I haven't raced in the beer league on Wednesday nights and yeah, it's hectic and crazy. The kids (God bless 'em-we were there once) are a pain. I've gotten ditched and ridden up in the chair by myself quite a few times when you jump in on a group of...

Not bad today, but missed the 9:00 sun for the first run. Once again, they blew snow to resurface open trails and they did try on Lower Galaxy, but not enough yet. Upper Rocket was marbles and part of the top had Freestyle team moguls on it. Upper Northstar was great-smooth and fast. The...

Two day report for 2/13 and 2/14. Raced yesterday morning on Outer Orbit-course held up well for our small group. Went out afterwards with one of my friends and called it about noon. Snow was getting sugary and it was gray and overcast-not conditions that make you want to stay out. Today was...

Skied Wednesday and today and it's holding up. Getting some brown in spots today, but all trails are open-just hoping they can make it through the weekend and get into the colder temps next week. They just can't catch a break-they blew snow earlier in the week to resurface, but at 60+ F it...

Amazing the change between days. Bluebird skies, some fresh blown snow and warming temps made all the difference. Adult league race in the AM and we stayed out and skied until past 1:00. Very edgeable and so nice to really be able to see! They're maintaining what they have, but speculation is...

Meh day at Bristol today-some new manmade on the upper trails, but still sugary on the lower with ice underneath. The sun finally came out which always makes things better. Backside greens were nice. Colder night temps should allow for resurfacing and the pond is full and ready. Looks like sun...
