Gore Mountain Conditions

[Harvey]

It looks like 46er was groomed before the storm, and since it didn't open Friday, everyone got fresh tracks on Saturday. It's always a good idea to take advantage of midweek terrain closures like that.

With regard to the start time for the Hudson Chair, it's supposed to be 8:30, but in my experience, they are often late. If I'm arriving early (which is the vast majority of the time), I don't like to start at base areas with only one lift, because if it's delayed for any reason, you're stranded. One time last season, I slept through my alarm and was late, so I parked there, and actually got an untracked 46er. So my mistake actually had a silver lining.

There was a lot of untracked snow in the skibo this morning no doubt.

ETA: It was late, there was a lot to do, that probably could have been done anytime on Friday like cleaning off the chairs. and at 9am they were using the groomer to get rid of the excess snow around the chair.

WHATEV. Most off all the untracked that remained was at the bowl, it lasted much of the morning, and no one was getting it from the other side. It was the place to be IMO.

Broken clock is correct twice a day.
There was a “surprise” spinning of the Diamond Cutter lift at Song before 2 Friday. No lines, fresh steeps. Amen.
The challenge was my legs weren’t still fresh,

From a midweek skier stuck on the other side of midweek terrain closures, thanks for rubbing it in.

I don't know anyone who skis midweek who would trade that for weekends.

And of course without weekend skiers, the lifts would not exist. So there is that.

Hats off to all the assholes who ski weekends. Myself included.

Don't wish your life away man!

The only thing good about weekends is that I can ski them. I park up front.

I guess you are right, terrain too. The terrain is actually there 7 days a week. Maybe got to earn it a bit more on weekdays.

At first it was so my weekends were free for family time,

This I have found is key. The more weekdays you get more you can contribute at home.

Amen! That's why I am home today chipping ice, grocery shopping...making her happy. I will be there tomorrow morning. I did do a selfish thing and took an evening job so I can take advantage of days like Friday before work. I don't mind Monday closures. They are all open on Wednesday, my next day off. Ski you on the slopes. Harv thanks for taking us to places we haven't visited in a while. Were you able to ski Ski Bowl Glades yesterday?

This is soul warming Suds to ski with you, and get props for leading. I love it!

Ski Bowl ROCKED yesterday. Hudson was fat!

i skied gore for years with wife and kids in tow. it was fine. get up early. get everyone a camelback and load it with water and snacks. pack a lunch on your back and get on the hill. Don't come down to bottom until you gassed. have lunch up top and make the most of the day. once you survive the parking lot a day there is a breeze. the mountain handles crowds well.
