CMR and I skied Gore today and were actually pleasantly surprised. Hawkeye, Chatiemac, Topridge and Twister were pretty good, and Echo, Backwoods, and the whole ski bowl were open with decent conditions. I was told that Tahawus was great, but we never made it over there. But the real surprise...

I highly doubt Backwoods will be open tomorrow. Eagle's nest heading back to the Burnt Ridge Quad was solid brown with no snowmaking on it. I'm very disappointed in Gore this year. Some of the open trails today were awful, with huge bare spots in between sheets of ice. Part of Sunway under...

Looks great! CMR and I will be there in March. Can't wait!

Parking was crazy on Sunday. The cars in E were so tight along the entrance lane that the bus couldn't get through. I saw cars in D having a hard time trying to get out due to the double row down the center of the aisle. Great skiing this weekend. Sagamore was fantastic on both Saturday and...

That lodge plan makes absolutely no sense. Why wouldn't they use those funds to improve the main base lodge at Gore, which is grim, dirty and completely charmless? The bathrooms are gross, the lighting is awful and as I mentioned to CMR as we were eating in the cold, dark, back room of the...

We skied Sat/Sun and had a great time. Saturday was beautiful and not very crowded. Sunday felt very crowded. With Echo closed for racing and no Sagamore, the lift lines at the bottom were pretty bad. Even the Topridge triple had a line stretching up Tannery at one point. We left at 11am and...

I agree with TomCat re the serious skier. My daughter and her friends just bought Epic passes for the first time this year. The deal was too good to pass up. They are based in Boston and now have unlimited skiing in NH and are planning a trip to Park City, mooching off of friends/family ski...

I have an Empire pass - we use it mostly for Caumsett, Robert Moses and Jones Beach down here on Long Island, but I love visiting those parks in Ithaca. Treman is my favorite. I have two enlarged photos in my office of the gorge trail at Treman. I'm hoping to get out to Letchworth one of these...

I'm in the office about 3x per week. Most of the support staff is still working 100% from home and they have been vocal about wanting to keep it that way. Not sure where we will end up. I'm still waiting for that NYS Hero Act to come out before we make any decisions. If they are going to make me...

CMR and I will both be at Cornell's graduation, with our Excelsior passes and admission tickets. We are grateful that the students are able to have an in-person ceremony this year. As of now, I think they are still requiring masks, even though the ceremony is outside. I wonder if they will...

We went through the same thing 10+ years ago with our kids. We had a hard time finding a season long rental near Gore, so we rented a townhouse in Lake George for 2 seasons. We finally got sick of the 40 min drive each way (our kids were in the season-long program at Gore) so we bought a place...

I like the Gore passes as-is, as I don't ski anywhere else but Gore and Whiteface in the east, and enjoy being able to come and go without reservations. Pre-pandemic, we traveled elsewhere for a ski trip once a year, so having other mountains included would have been great, as multi-day passes...
