Gore Mountain Conditions

Eventually got towed out…

at some point people aren't going to want to come here, this year has really been a mess with these lift issues.

I love the mountain and all the characters that ski it.

That being said, my wife is pricing out alternatives as I type this.

Dude. Stratton?

Dude. Stratton?

My wife is THAT pissed.

That is pissed. X level

Did you ever ride the BRQ today?

No. It was down when we arrived (and had been for 20 minutes), but no-one communicated that to the Ski Bowl at that point, so "Burnt Ridge (was) Open".

Seriously - I’ll bet the Hudson chair couldn’t handle the load. When was the last time it had 2-3 people on every chair? They should have loaded every other.

I would have stayed relatively happily lapping Moxham and 46er until BRQ opened but losing Hudson on its last day? Really really bad.

Having bitched and moaned for a few hours, I am also slightly kicking myself for not thinking more critically about BRQ which has clearly had issues for around a month now. Putting all my eggs in the ski bowl basket on the day after a significant storm might be something to think twice about. Problem was I left about 15 min later than I usually do and would have been on access road at 8:10 which is later than I like.

Oh well - bowl will never be the same anyway. It was good while lasted.

That was why I skied from the big boy hill yesterday. I thought on a powder day. I would hate To get stranded by the burnt ridge quad.

It sucks that we have to think this way as Gore skiers though. We pay for a service and that service failed miserably on what should have been an amazing day.
