Well that's strange. There appear to be tickets available now. Seems like the capacity cap is completely arbitrary?

I had some 'in the know' Belle patrol info hookup (also Gore customer service will tell you this and I think the website): when they open more terrain or have plans to, they can increase tickets; and when people cancel, they make that ticket available

Add that to staffing shortages, and you can see how it could fluctuation all over. (Not enough employees to update the feed).

Also if you aren't sure about staffing you don't know how many lifts you can open? Just a guess.

Still rain in North Creek. 34 degrees. Doesn’t look like I need to rush to get to the mountain.

Gore timers - I have an interconnect question. There is a decent looking Green off the Hudson chair, which I imagine will have no one. My wife is fine with something like showcase if no traffic but does not like the icy part of Sunway before lower sunway by the saddle area.

1) would that green be fine for a skier like that?

2) If I show up to Ski bowl at 8:30 am and take the interconnect to hedges to north quad, will I be able to take the hudson chair at 830, or will it be one of those things where it is not running.

Thanks,
D

The Hudson chair is supposed to open at 830 on weekends according to the website, but maybe that's aspirational. I've never tried to get an early start there. I wouldn't try that on a weekday.
Upper Sunway is in better condition than it has been some other years, and the Sunway quad will probably run this weekend as well.

Yesterday was pretty good. Another beautiful sunny day. Uncas and Topridge softened up nicely in the afternoon. They were making snow on Rumor Monday and Tuesday, but it doesn't look like it's ready. New snow should tune everything up nicely for the weekend.

OK a little too harsh, North Creek , Black Mountain Lodge, Beck"s Tavern, Basil and Wick's, Hey Days , Bar Vino, Copperfield, up the road Garnet Hill Lodge [recommended] dive bar Barking Spider [best burger in town] Route 8 East at the light OP Fredricks, The Place, Right at the light in Chestertown, Bullhouse, Panther Mountain Hotel, The Odd Duck. A little farther east out of the way Route 8 Jimbo"s on Brant Lake amazing.

Lake George doesn't need your money, the business in Northern Warren DO!

Olde Log Inn is a mile up Route 9 from LG village, local owned and 90% local clientele. Great food and service, local draft microbrews.

Thank you MM. Reason I am thinking of going there is I have never skied that other than village slopes, and it could be a cool place to avoid crowds. We will drive up friday and ski sat and sunday. Maybe I test it out Sunday . . . .

Also, even when Gore is crowded, we can either stick to sunway or hide out by north quad.

I never attempt to start at the ski bowl unless I'm arriving late. I've been burned multiple times when they weren't ready to open it on-time.
