If you have an observation from the Crick or the mountain, especially pre-season, please post them in this thread.

Gore Mountain Snow Totals 2022-2023

Count on NYSkiBlog for Gore Mountain snow data.

If someone could give me a report from NC, or 1500 feet nearby, Gore I would appreciate it!

It’s beginning to look a lot more like it does now than it did.

5-6" of good heavy base snow at my HQ in Downtown Centerville. Accident just north of my place this am so traffic is stopped in both directions. Take your time, and snow tires save lives

5-6"

Thanks @Cork, I'm using it.

As a bonus it falls within the strict @jamesdeluxe standard for "skiable snow."

I'm not sure what you're misquoting me of saying.

It's your dogma, not mine... something like it doesn't count unless skiers ski it? Or it doesn't count if the mountain isn't open. Or something. You know what I am talking about. I count any snow that falls, you have rulez.

It's Tony Crocker's dogma (and one of the rare things that we agree on) -- "snow that melts before the ski area opens shouldn't count in its yearly total."

Gore’s reportin gettin 5” for what’s that worth.
"We got 5 inches of new snow this morning! Meanwhile, we fired up our snowmaking system Sunday night and we are currently making snow on Wild Air, Pot Luck, Sunway, Quicksilver, The Arena, 3B, Saddle Area, Jamboree, Showcase, and Bear Cub Run!"

For some reason I love battling with James on this.

So if 2 feet falls 3 days before opening day and then six inches melts, do you add 18" to the total on opening day?

What about snow compression? How do you deal with that?

You're just being argumentative. Go ahead and add whatever snow you want to Gore's total to make it fit your narrative. Take a few feet from Tug Hill -- they can spare it!
