Gore Mountain Conditions

Your picture should have included his license plate.

You are correct, I wasn’t thinking.

As well straightbrook is loading every other chair, the Gondi is running on diesel, and there is no regular coffee in the main cafeteria.

But we have pretty new Gondi cabins! The North Chair was having issues too.

Forget "100% open by Christmas, no excuses!" Sno, I'm not even optimistic that they'll be 100% open by 3/15.

My wife and I had a long discussion about Gore. The mountain this year exudes the vibe that no-one really cares about it. It just feels neglected, no care or love put into it. More so than ever. The whole thing is in a sad state.

It's not 100% by Christmas, it's all lifts by Christmas. I like to see all snowmaking trails by MLK Weekend or at least the end of January. But yes, Gore is far enough behind that there will likely be many trails that don't make the cut.

Avoid Gore if you have the option. Snowmaking there this year is the worst in the past couple of decades. Because so little snow has been put down, grooming often brings up hundreds of small black rocks.
Even Tahawus, which has generally been the best groomed trail this year, now has sections peppered with small stones.
It's becoming doubly expensive to ski Gore, with the bottom jobs which your skis require because of the bad conditions.
Skied Whiteface several times this year and the conditions were quite nice. And Killington always does a good job.

I’m the first one to jump on the Trash Gore Bus, but that’s not gravel you’re seeing on Tahawus. I skied it three times yesterday and it has consistently had the best snow all season. There are a lot of gravel spots on the mountain, but 98% of what you see on Tahawus is conifer twigs blown out of the trees by the high winds.

Parking in D is out of control. A number of guests were blocked in. The black SUV on the left blocked 3-4 cars alone. They need cones down the center to prevent assholes from blocking others in

There's no amount of cones that are going to convince selfish assholes to not be selfish assholes.
