Gore Mountain Conditions

Warmth today was very nice, spring conditions but stayed good all day. I continue to be impressed with the conditions the last few weekends. Thanks to all the groomers for their great work this season!

Bare spots were starting to show up on lower mountain, we really need Friday's storm to develop, hopefully the rain tomorrow isn't too bad.
 
Agreed. Was good. Chatiemac was the winner for me. They groomed part of it so was lots of snow and they left the bumps on skier’s left which were nice and soft. Lapped 46er a bunch of time in the morning since burnt ridge was closed. Had to take the shuttle to the main base. Not sure what time it opened. Things we’re getting sticky by 3pm. Hope fully the rain keeps to a minimum and Friday delivers.

Burnt closed? Not ideal from the bowl
 
We miscalculated and did Ski bowl too. It ended up fine - drove over to the main face after they did not think BRQ would be up in the morning.

All in all really good conditions. In late afternoon (3?) up top was getting firm on Cloud. First thing, 46'er was a bit firm but good. Up top hawkeye and open pit were nice. Did not get down Lies; they had the 3/4 rope thing going on and a Patroller said it was firm and skied off. Echo was really soft and nice, as well as Twister. My 8 yo's first time down hawkeye, which was cool.

The crowds were low - the two times we were on the gondi line it was walk halfway and then a short line. The ADK was pretty close to ski on.

Plan is to go to ski bowl tomorrow, though the crowds were so light, I don't know that you need to.
 
Looks like fog lights are warranted up top.

Wow. Very good conditions today, best of season for our group up top before we broke for lunch. Did not go back up after about 115 pm.

Got one run on Lies and it was just fun. Our group went down Hawkeye, Chatty, Open Pit (last one I did not get on). Spring snow that shoots out against the force of your ski when you turn and holds you up for your hero pose : ) . At 130 the Green mountains were still somewhat visible.

But, by 2 pm, I found Twister skiable but not fun: kind of like the compacted ice underneath was compromising what was spring snow earlier in the day. Combined with kid bathroom break we called it after that. Great day. Thanks to the Gore team.

Wow!! Weather and conditions really turned fast after lunch, had a great morning of spring conditions and no crowds. Felt like April, sadly it's only Feb! We called it a day around 2, clouds were rolling in fast and the mashed potatoes were getting lumpy!! Next few days should be interesting, will they even be able to open tomorrow? Probably will skip tomorrow and Thursday and come back for some fresh snow Friday.
 
We did two runs down sunway chair this morning in surprisingly nice spring snow. It was a bit windy down there, so my guess is if you went up top, lots of wind but also at least in the morning spring snow. The temp has dropped a lot and will continue to until the storm hits Thursday evening. Very much appreciate everything Gore staff is doing.
