Gore Mountain Conditions

I’m surprised at how many people were there today that at didn’t see. There were only 2 options. I mean, I got there at the crack of 11.

I lasted until noon. I think I did 8 runs.

I was very impressed, two T2B runs, one green (almost) and one blue. 1500 feet each.

I didn't feel wobbly at all, but wasn't even close to T2B skiing.

Nice wintery day, snowed lightly all am.

Good to see you @Cork and @freeheeln. And of course, The Colonel himself, Charlie.

I definitely saw some carnage around that small steep pitch on that last turn on quicksilver. It was a green without that!

Yeah. I came across a girl (maybe 16?) who was clearly intimidated at that spot. She fell at the top and was struggling to get up, with a steady stream of traffic barreling down on her.

I got over to the other side of the trail and encouraged her to traverse towards me as a start. I was quite impressed with her effort. The traverses are relatively easy, but you have to take a leap of faith, facing the fall line to turn around (didn't seem like the moment to teach a kick turn). She'd clearly had a lesson and paid attention.

She got down, and I followed, telling her she should be proud of what she accomplished. It was brave and her turns at the corners were really quite well executed.

She had a big smile, it was very cool.

Way to go Harv ur a good dude to take the effort to always encourage newbies.
 
Honestly I don't always do that. I was thinking afterward, wondering why I stopped and "helped." Not sure why, exactly. Maybe it was because I thought she was alone. (I realized later she wasn't).
 
Some friends also with FSC’s went to Gore Saturday.
They skied from opening for 3 hours.
Said it was really good snow.

Met one outside The Ski Company Sunday in the Cuse.
He said to meet him there as he was getting his new boots (he had bought around Killington) dialed in with Jimmy.
We never entered the store as it was too packed inside.
I had 2 pairs of skis, 3 pairs of boots in the car. Poles have been there since last season.
Gonna try again before Turkey Day.
 
Love the Gore peeps. Great to see you @freeheeln, sorry we got separated.

And thanks for the pics you sent! I will use them, posting on Weds or Fri.
