Gore Mountain Conditions

[Alfredeneumann]

yeah Kudos to gore for trying some different things. Sometimes you get a winner, sometimes you get a stinker. But I give them credit for trying some stuff: leaving Chatty bumped, late blow on Topridge, resurfacing upper cloud late in the season, the slopestyle and big air comp, the lower steilhang changes, and a handful of other surprises that are probably more reflective of employee behaviors than mgmt directives. It's just been different...and for the longer tenured passholder regulars, different has added a little spice to things. Beats Vanilla and Walmart all the time.

Up next---basement corner bathrooms makeover?

there's enough to like that outweighs the stuff we complain about....my opinion, anyway.

I often use that men’s room as it’s the only one with a bench to sit on while changing your clothes. I’ve mentioned the cracked and leaking toilet bowl to staff multiple times. The usual response is a shrug and “It’s above my pay grade.”

Anyone there today? Looks like High Peaks is not moving? How much snow pack did we lose? fingers crossed that Tuesday's storm brings more snow than rain...

Are they really not going to make any snow this holiday weekend? That just seems insane to me… Even Magic mountain which lost power most of today is making snow. This has to be some kind of DMV of skiing joke???

I think the focus will be on allowing the snow they have to drain a bit then groom what they can. The weather was not kind to us. Take any decent skiing you can for a bit...

You've got this coral reef top, and lots of moisture below. Doesn't seem easy to groom it without producing ice.

Any day skiing is better than one not skiing, just wish they were adopting the strategy of most other east coast mountains that also took it up the butt this week but are coming out guns blazing this weekend.

Looks like the 2 of 3 webcam that were working this winter are both down now too @ 9AM on the start of mid winter break.
Nothin to see there ...

Webcams are back on. Looks like it’s snowing pretty good there. Coverage looks shockingly good.

Skied about two hours this morning. A little rough but all things considered not too bad. They got about 1-1.5 inches on top of the scratch which helped out- especially for the first run. Gondola not running - probably due to wind but that actually was a good thing as it kept the skier density lower. Twister and Wild Air were closed so Sunway to Lower Sunway\QS and Showcase were the only routes on the lower mountain. Took a few runs up top. Again - new snow helped for a while and the hard base underneath was more edge-able than I expected . Pretty big crowd considering the recent weather. When I left around 11, G lot (on the access road) was half full. Base appears to be great thanks to the great job that mountain ops did this year and especially early this week! Thank you! Should be better tomorrow with another groom.
