Gore Mountain Conditions

[Harvey]

It would be worth reviewing Article 14 of the NY state constitution. Gore and WF receive special consideration there, but what is noted is total trail mileage rather than trail width. Widening trails would probably come up in a change to Gore's unit master plan.

I thought I heard at one time it was acreage related and then switched to mileage? I also think the mileages 25,40 and 25 were raised at one point?

It did for WF @APA ’s March meeting.
It’s in the link put up in WF thread.
They need some wider spaces for racing/practicing...
Scroll to ~4hr 6min for ORDA’s discussion of the new UMP amendment discussion.

Glad I went. Everything up top was great. Usually I do Rumor 1 or 2 times a year just to do it but today did it 3x in a row. Topridge and Chatty were also great. Bottom of the mountain has some bare spots but is not awful. Should get another couple weeks if the weather cooperates.

I'm regretting staying away this weekend. It looks like it was great. I am hoping to get some turns in over Easter break. I assume if they are open it will just be a handful of really slushy trails, but better than no skiing in April!!

What’s up with the area between the Gondi and Topridge unloading areas?
There’s an alert ya have to go around the block to access SBQ.
"There is NO direct access to Straight Brook Quad via the Northwoods Gondola today. Access the summit using the Upper & Lower Wood In trails."
Topridge, Pine Knot and Tannery are all listed as open and groomed.

Update: Looks like they removed the green alert quoted above.

Mount Gondi is like a dang snow bank,

Like the area formerly known as Dark Side Glade?

Great conditions today. The morning was like mid winter. Very light crowds.
