Gore Mountain Conditions

Pretty great day today - alternated between ae2 and Gondi first hew runs but cold was manageable by 930-10. No wind!

Open pit and top ridge faves so far - caught an edge on Qsilver and went down hard (i.e base is like cement) on second run so skipping Lies today. heading to echo after lunch.
 
Dog you da man. Great skiing with you.

After you headed down I connected up almost immediately with @Yukon Cornelius and Todd and Bobby K, so that was great. Did some pre-snow line scoping too. If you are stepping off, make sure you clear the pipe!

I thought the lower mountain was best, Showcase and Tahawas especially.

Had a fun day with family, and then my ski bud son (11) after the ladies ditched us. Day 14 at Gore and best snow of the season for us.

Tahawus was nice as Harve noted and empty. Sunway good for a while and eventually got that sugary thing going. Did Wild Air at 2:40 and it was the best snow of the mountain.

After cocoa break, we did Echo 2x which had very nice snow, maybe third to Wild Air and Tahawas. The warming hut is Su-weet. We went up top around 2 and it felt firm. At that point Lies was closed. Took my son on open pit, which was firm but not 'pray for safety' firm, with some soft bumps over bolders skiers left. We finished it off with Wild air/arena, which had the best non spring late day snow I have seen at Gore.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Told everyone we are leaving the house by 8.
 
We’re heading up tonight and staying in a motel. Didn’t want to deal with driving up from Albany tomorrow morning. Glad I did seeing the updated weather report for tonight. Stoked!

Awesome. Enjoy!
 
Gore regulars - what is the etiquette/practice on glades? I imagine they will be skiable tomorrow with the storm, but what's the indication they are open - rope/no rope? I don't really poach.

Would be happy to take my kids into something like otter slides glades, but I have been in very few glades.

Two or three years ago there was a storm on a weekday where the power went out. I remember lapping a glade in the high peaks area, but I can't remember the name of the glade for the life of me. That was an awesome day. Pre covid. Met up with a random nice young guy on the first chair and the kid would not let me stop for lunch. We stop for lunch at 2, and a patroller comes in and tells us the power went out, and we have to ski down cloud from the top. Man that is a long traverse.
 
Sorry - I have been in a bunch of glades, very few at Gore.

While we are at it, I imagine Burnt Ridge is crazy fun trees if it opens.
