    Gore's Little Red Gondola

    Great article and cool prior post on the old red gondolas that brought back a lot of memories. I remember riding it on windy days when they would not let you ride it without a full cabin of 4 for the weight, certainly didn't give you a warm and fuzzy about safely making it to the top. By the...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Oh I most certainly did, record piles in my estimation from 35 years of skiing there. Go snowmakers!! Not sure it completely makes up for freshly made snow post non frozen precip ever but spring is looking good. Most other ski mountains on the east coast made snow Friday and into the weekend…

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Skiing this weekend was much better than I expected, groomers did an awesome job and crowds were light. Outside of getting on the first lifts of the day we did not hit any lines and even the Saddle lodge was easy to find a table for the much needed breaks from the cold. Gore is truly amazing...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Any day skiing is better than one not skiing, just wish they were adopting the strategy of most other east coast mountains that also took it up the butt this week but are coming out guns blazing this weekend.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Are they really not going to make any snow this holiday weekend? That just seems insane to me… Even Magic mountain which lost power most of today is making snow. This has to be some kind of DMV of skiing joke???

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    "Gore, It is what it is. If you don't like it ski somewhere else" that is fantastic, not quite as catchy as Mad River's "ski it if you can" but very fitting

    Poll: The Impact of the Epic Pass

    I completely agree, in the past I would have chased snow at some of these mountains. They are now on my do not fly list (especially weekends). There is no way the lines they are creating and bad vibes that are associated with waiting in those lines is good for skiers, skiing, or business long...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I agree, the parts that were covered were deeper than a normal opening weekend. There weren't any patches of grass or dirt to dodge unless you went off the track that was buried/groomed. I also thought the groomers did a great job with the death cookies being off the sides of the groomed...

    The Indy Pass

    That film is fantastic, and making think about getting the add on Indy Pass to increase support for the soul of skiing (have a Berkshire East pass). It is also making me think hard about where to plan future trips by removing all future financial support of IKON and EPIC resorts that are...

    Hickory may be back soon

    Passes for 21/22

    I had not bought a pass in several years after holding one at Gore for the better part of 3 decades. I don't get up there as much as I would like with 3 little kids running around these days. However being less than an hour an half from Berkshire East I decided to take the plunge and get a pass...

    Snowmaking

    Was at Berkshire East today and they had guns blasting all day, was awesome to see at such a great little hill.
