Whiteface Conditions

I was able to get one run in down Slide 1 thanks to a group that let me tag along. Always an adventure but the snow will be better after tonight. Hopefully they will open them again Sunday or during the week..

So you did what I described and just hung out at the top of the lift until more people came? Hopefully they're open Sunday, but I'm concerned what tomorrow's wind will do, and if there's low visibility they won't open either.

Yeah, that's what I did. They did require and check for a beacon.

I assume that everyone wears one but helmets are also required.

Right, they did mention that.

Dude I love ya, but this is the funneh.

Going back to April 2008.

One minute they're open:

A few minutes later: "It's over Johnny. IT'S OVER!"

Yeh as we speak lol...and guess who left their gear at the house!!!

 

[D.B. Cooper]

Are avalanche beacons like $300 ?

Something like that.

 

[D.B. Cooper]

Can you just wait at the top of the lift for other people to come? I've done that before, but I'm not sure if they still allow it.

Yes. How can they tell if you don't know one another?
