Whiteface Conditions

[SudsNBumps]

Happy Belated Halloween. I didn't know where to put this but it fits here. I got my October turns in my attempt to ski every month in my first year of my 7th decade...This gives you a good idea how far skiing was available. From my phone data I walked 7.5 miles and skied just under 3. 3 inches or so powder at the top...frozen rubble when I took my skis off at about 3000' vertical...wet pavement at the bottom. It was a beautiful day so my ski down was shortened a bit. and we're off...

I‘m formally requesting a dedicated thread

Might want to checkout the New Webcam located at Bear Den Lodge. Lots of new looks at various parts of Whiteface - https://whiteface.com/mountain/webcams/

New Whiteface trail map is up with the addition of the new lift, The Notch.

I didn't look at the trail map but I'm guessing w a new lift there must be 4 or 5 new trails to go with it. ??? HA!

Ilmar's Alley and Yellow Dot are crimes against trail counts.

Agree and there are plenty more that fit your criteria, probably more than acutual trails. But that is likely the case for many other areas too.

Does anyone here know what the hours of operation will be for the new lift? If it opens at 8:30 my follow up question is if they will push the opening time of LWF lift up to 8:30 from 9AM. It would be a nice option for morning skiing as the parking up at Bear Den is great at that time.

parking up at Bear Den is great at that time.

My guess is that's a thing of the past

Yeah, it's was discovered a couple years ago, used to be a great way to go, not so much anymore.
