Let there be ❄️ ❄️ whales
 
It looks like they have started to get their act together over the last couple weeks, sending snowmakers from Belle to help out would definitely line up with that.

Looking like I'll be headed to Gore this weekend given been at WF last two and VT the two before that. Everything is booked up in VT and near WF for this weekend for reasonably priced lodging. With the new snow and Gore getting more open seems like my best option and happy to do less driving.
 
Gore was really good yesterday and today. No new snow today but Hawkeye was groomed out better than I've ever seen it before. It was a short day so I didn't get to Burnt Ridge or the Ski Bowl. They were making snow on the Hole Shot course and Pine Knot, Lies and Rumor. Open Pit was good on natural snow but it still seems odd that they haven't made any snow there.
They finally fixed the water fountain in lodge too. Maybe ORDA is paying attention.

Open, legal and very few tracks. There was powder all over, you just had to look for it. First run down 46er was bliss. I was in the woods all day so I can’t comment on the trails. Except Lower Steilhang the old way was fantastic. Again all open and legal. Thank you patrollers👍

It was good today. Steilhang was open all the way. Darby, Straightbrook, Chateimac and Chatterbox glades were all open with nice snow but not enough base. Twin Fawns was open. It got windy in the afternoon. Hulabaloo was the run of the day. Best day of the year so far.

It was a bigger crowd than I expected with lots of kids. I ran into a teacher friend and it turns out all the NY schools were closed today for Lunar New Year. Who knew?

Yeah, that NYS only (so far) celebration of Lunar holiday was a surprise. The Belleayre Mt crowd was better informed, I believe I read where they SOLD OUT for the day? My political friends claimed it was spurred by Hochul. Since the Asian population was still getting the blame for Covid it was her way to hug and make up? Not sure a holiday that only closes schools is a vote getter but my friends know politics far better than I. At least they are usually telling me I am too dumb to understand? Next push... St Patrick's Day for sure! Most colleges beat her to the punch there. Colleges usually make sure their Spring Break has students off campus on St Patrick's Day!
