Hickory Ski Center Might Be Reopening

did I miss an update from Hickory? I haven't seen anything on FB, Insta, or here.

I've been watching the radar. More moisture falling on hickory vs gore. Still possible that gore is getting more measurable snow. Hard to say with temps so marginal.

I also expected pricing to be posted yesterday. I'll see what I can learn.

They do actually get more lake effect than Gore.

Is this true?

They do actually get more lake effect than Gore. And Gore gets a least an inch or two a year.

There’s this.

Is this true?

I could clarify what I mean.

I watch the NY radar a lot. Certain counties I do focus on more than others. Like Warren.

I'm not saying I know for a fact that weather stations or weather watchers are reporting MORE lake effect at Hickory.

I am saying OFTEN I see bands coming off the lake that are blocked by the Snowy Mountain range, the snow just disappears off the radar before getting to Gore. Maybe 90% of the time.

The doesn't happen at Hickory. There is nothing tall, that is close by and due west.

I guess the Southern Adirondack Mountains don’t count?

Interesting hypothesis... the Snowy Range makes sense as both Snowy and Panther Mts both receive copious gifts from the Snow Gods of the Lakes. But I just don't see anywhere in Thurman, Stony Creek, or the 'Burg getting more snow than we do here in The Town of Johnsburg.

Maybe that’s why they it the name Snowy.
Whoda thunk it?

I’ve been to this Panther Mountain many times.
It’s just west of Piseco Lake. It’s mostly a jungle other than the trail up. Gets piles of snow.
There are other Panther Mountains too.

Panther Mountain (Echo Cliffs) is a short hike to a great view of Piseco Lake and the southern Adirondacks - Protect the Adirondacks!

Panther Mountain, also known as Echo Cliff, is a short 0.6-mile hike to an open cliff that overlooks Piseco Lake.
