Gore Mountain Conditions

Awesome day - still snowing hard as we pull out of parking lot. I thought MLK Monday was the best powder day I had had at Gore but I think today beat it. Sagamore and Echo at end of day were runs of the day although Top Ridge earlier was also great. Everything about today was great. Might do a couple hours tomorrow before driving south - how could I not?
 
9:04 and all is ... snowy.

I had a really nice weekend of skiing and avoided the crowds. Today the cars were parked further down the road than I've seen all year. Did anyone experience getting blocked in, in the parking lot? Two days in a row the cars to the side of us were blocked in by a line of cars parked across their backs. Yesterday we helped folks that got blocked in get out and the offending car's owner was probably not happy when they got back. I am usually there early but do they still have parking attendants? I am very careful where I park but if I got blocked in I would be pissed.
 
Incredible weekend. Sat was tons of fun with all the snow and Sunday I got out early with just my 9yr old daughter, got a few runs of fresh corduroy up on cloud and then headed over to Burnt. She loved the skiing the fresh corduroy. Boreas glade was open with tons of fresh powder stashes. A few more runs on Sagamore, lunch at the NYSEF hut and then off to Tahawus glades and a few runs by the North Quad before heading home. I was surprised at the crowd on the North Quad when we got there. I heard the gondy was down for a period. We lucked out and hit everything perfectly and avoided crowds pretty much the entire day. It could not have been a more perfect day!
 
Parking was crazy on Sunday. The cars in E were so tight along the entrance lane that the bus couldn't get through. I saw cars in D having a hard time trying to get out due to the double row down the center of the aisle.

Great skiing this weekend. Sagamore was fantastic on both Saturday and Sunday. I hope the snow holds on for a few more weeks.
 
Today was another great day in paradise. My favorite was Lies, followed closely by Chati and Topridge. Cold early but everything softened as the day went on. Saw ski patrol on Rumor but it never opened. However,,,I parked in the same spot the last three days and they put cars behind the cars parked next to me each day. I stayed late today and saw some of the vehicle owners untie ropes so they could pull forward. I can't imagine parking attendants are parking them that way. Then again I haven't seen any. We met one of the offenders and he said he followed someone that looked like they knew what they were doing and parked behind them. Pretty good crowd for a Monday. Doesn't it start to thin out this time of year?

Some jerk parked so close to me I couldn't even open my door far enough to put my boot bag in my truck. He was even still in his fancy suv, waved and smiled to me.
