Gore Mountain Conditions

[tirolski]

Weatherwise looks to be a good chance for Gore to make it to be skiable next weekend.
Gonna be chilly nights after Tuesday.
Good

Karen and I skied Gore Saturday and it was by far it was some of the best late season skiing I've experienced in terms of snow cover. Even discounting the late snow storm, it is still impressive. There was so much snow that I was actually looking for mud! The last snow storm cover appeared to have blended well with the base to produce a very skiable surface.

We had great runs on the Dark Side and Topridge as well as the lower mountain where Sunway and Quicksilver both had excellent cover. It really didn't get skinny until you reached the bottom of the arena which was still covered well.

We've not been able to ski Gore as much as in the past and we really enjoyed the late season runs this weekend. I've seen January's with less snow than this. Looking at next weekend's forecast, I'm thinking the closer is going to be spectacular. Anyone who can get to the mountain, take advantage of it!

I was skeptical about 5/1 when it was first put out there a month ago, but it looks like Ma Natch and Gore will prove me wrong.

I laughed when Howie told me they were trying for May 1. I think the 10 feet of snow they blew on Topridge has as much or more to do with it than the 18 inches last week. I'm really surprised that they can keep a south facing trail open.
I have full weekend of family events, so I'm gonna miss it.

I agree on the 18 inches. It's the deep natural, and the extended below average temps, which couldn't have been predicted.

Kind of funny at Belle, they opened two weeks after closing and a few days after 12 inches (?) of snow. It was clearly manmade we were skiing on but a woman I spoke to from patrol insisted we couldn't be skiing without the new snow. You could see it on Yahoo, it compressed/melted to maybe 2-3 inches.

Who's in this weekend? What day?
