Gore Mountain Conditions

I think it is 4 - 4:30 for me, and that is our winter base this year :unsure::LOL:o_O.

Made a deal with the kids that they would come 3/4 and wife coming 1/2. If only Gore had some of the extra cute stuff that Lake Placid has, it probably would be every weekend. (I realize how privileged that comment is).

With high speed internet and some office flexibility, on the weekends without the fam I will go up Thursday night, work remotely Friday, ski during lunch or Friday evening, and then ski the weekend. Should be fun.

Will be in my 10 year old CRV instead of fancy new Rivian, so hopefully the reliability continues through the winter . . . .

Maybe i'll see you there, this is our first year making Gore our official base after spending most of the year there last winter. Kids are dong the NYSEF program for the first time.

As far as things for the wife and kids if they are not as interested in skiing. Dynamite Hill in Chestertown is a great sledding spot (also has ice skating and a rope tow). I've also learned Oak mountain in Speculator and West Mountain have tubing. Crossroads in Chestertown falls into that category of "cute" shop. Lake George seemed pretty desolate anytime I was there last winter but Bolton Landing has more of the "cuteness" factor to it.
 
Snowing lightly. Skiing with EDeO great day.

Thank you for the intel! I was trying to put them into the 6 week program as they didn't want to commit to longer, but we didn't make it, so on the wait list.

This is awesome info on Chestertown. I never stopped there but now I will make an effort to explore. Happy to meet up sometime. Good luck to you and the kids. The folks here who have done NYSEF love it. Best, D
 
Fixedheeln and I met up with Harv first thing for our first ride at Gore in 2 years. Conditions were very good, fresh corduroy, good coverage and relatively light crowd most of the morning. It was great getting out again and seeing the usual suspects.
 
3 years if plans are realized. I'm not a chicken counter. But we are moving ahead.

Great skiing with you both! There were so many old friends today and we all rode the lifts normally. It was a lot of fun!
