ORDA's Latest Screw-Up

[Harvey]

The rumor around here is that Gore will be $105 EVERY DAY this season. The Woman Of My Dreams bought a frequent skier card for $104 and the first day is included.
I think they are overdoing it to keep the crowd down, and they’ll probably back down a little when no one shows up.

Be very interested to see. I'm imagining Gore at capacity on weekends, and busier than usual on weekdays.

I assume you mean busier than usual on weekdays. Expensive lift ticket plus busier than usual hopefully means the issues Gore has had in the past with midweek lift closures won’t be a factor? Has Gore been better about that more recently?

Not just a rumor. Certainly not a lie.

Yes edited it.

A bit better? @Cork could say for sure. I don't think you can assume that this will disappear as an issue though.

Midweek lift closures have not been a problem at all since I retired 7 years ago. What has been a problem midweek is the website listing trails (mainly glades) as open when the ropes stay up ALL DAY. I’m too old now to jump ropes, especially when I’m solo, only to find out there’s a reason why it’s closed.

I would wager they won’t be wanting ya bringing in water bottles to get the discount on Wednesdays this winter either. Why can’t we have nice things?

I won’t call this a screw up, per se.....maybe just a missed opportunity? Wasn’t the Whiteface Bear Den replacement (Falcon Quad) intended to be extended a little higher up the mountain, which also had some associated new trail work? Not like the extension shown in the 2018 Amendment to the UMP was all that much, but it would have been nice. Hard to get terribly excited for the direct replacement we got, but they did get it in quick.
