Gore Mountain Conditions

[Milo Maltbie]

The mountain sure skied nice today, A+ to the groomers and everyone at Gore

The mountain skied well but lift operations were nuts. They ran Straightbrook, but nothing was open on that side, so it was a trip around the warming hut every lap. Lower Darby and Santanoni were open, but not the High Peaks Quad, so you had to do Wood Out tot he North Quad every lap. AE2 and Sunway didn't run, so if you wanted to ski the North side you were stuck with Ruby.

They would have done better to close the Straightbrook and gondola and run AE2 and High Peaks.

They opened the Straightbrook & North Chairs after noon yesterday & it really helped spread out the crowds. Before then, it was just Gondy/Topridge, which was pretty lame. Woulda been nice if I just could have hopped on the AE2

They run the gondola way too much. AE2 should be the main lift on slow days. It's easier access to the North Quad, and less COVID or flu risk than the gondola. The gondola also seems to be the least reliable lift on the mountain. AE2 ran almost every day since COVID, andd it's dissappointing that they're not still doing that.

Yup.
I mainly just use the Gondi to get warm if AE2 is spinning.

When you have two lifts serving similar terrain, if you don't have the crowds to justify running both, then you run the one that serves more terrain, which is the gondola. Personally I'd much rather ski Pine Knot or Uncas than skate Wood-In. If you still won't ride the gondola because of covid, then maybe don't ski at a resort where it's the main lift. That's your problem and yours alone.

Today they ran Topridge, the gondola, the north quad and straight brook. Nothing in the straightbrook side was open, and skiing Darby required skating across the top and Wood Out too. If they ran AE2 , High Peaks and Topridge all the same terrain could have been skied and there would have been easier access to Cloud, Darby and the north quad. Wood In is easier than Wood Out and easier than the skate around the barn too. The gondola is better because why?

We get reports from infectious disease doctors.
Flu is higher now than any time in the past few years and still increasing exponentially. That’s a public health problem which means it’s everyone’s problem. But are, a gondola is better because it’s cold in the winter. If winter sports are too cold for you maybe try bowling or pickle ball. That’s your problem and yours alone.

I had a blast skiing knee deep 3 days in a row. Loved hearing everyone complain about operations while I got face shots. Had a good one in Tahawus Glade w/ Harv and crew.

Ha! Good to connect the skier with the screenname.

This is all I got from Tahawas...

Got 25-30 days in last year just doing weekdays and didn’t start till after the holidays.
I leave weekends and Holidays for folks who’ll enjoy it more than me.
Folks don’t bitch to others about their golfing unless they’re holding up play and folks are usually polite even when that happens.
There ain’t no urge. Ya may been Gored too many times. Tell me where it hurts.
Skiing is fun. Pow is too. Gonna go tomorrow and/or Thursday.
