Gore Mountain Conditions

Enjoyed Topridge all to myself today! What lines?

Nope. I was on it too ?. Pretty scraped in the middle but nice on the side. No lines on North quad either.

Surfaces held pretty well considering how busy it was. Crazy long lines at the bottom, North loaded quickly. Great to ski with you again Harv!

Always a pleasure man.

Last year once you got away from the Gondola and AE2 there was rarely a line, even on weekends. I suspect it will be the same this year once they get some more terrain open. One trail leading to Topridge probably isn't enough to entice too many people away from AE2 right now.

Great skiing with you yesterday Harv. Most chairs on AE2 had 3 or less people today, many with only 1.

It was great to connect, thanks for snagging me. I've skied with @Kleetus once before but in that storm, I don't think I would have found you guys without your help. Without my trademark skis too.

A couple of weekends ago they were asking at the Gondola if you minded riding with a stranger, we actually met a new person and had one of those old school lift conversations that used to happen in the olden days!

OK I'm totally envious. I'd love to stay in a place like that!

Dude that ^^ makes me smile big. This place, and the surrounding woods, are my dream.

Headquarters in the Adirondacks

The cabin is NYSkiBlog headquarters. It's our Adirondack base camp for the stoke, trip reports and photos we crank out each ski season.

Amazing to me how much negativity there was about the lines. Am I on crack? I really didn't mind it.

The first snowfall on a weekend, people came out. I think I waited one time 15 minutes.

I posted a pic of freeheeln on IG and all the comments where how the day sucked. If it sucks, go home. You aren't missing anything because it sucks right? And it will be JUST A BIT less sucky with out you.

IMO the storm day, Saturday, was better, but both days were totally worth skiing.

Fact.

Topridge involved the gondola (people definitely more comfortable on the quad) and everyone below was saying the snow was better on the East Side. I thought Topridge was OK, but North was way better.
