Whiteface Conditions

[snoloco]

Whiteface seemed to uniquely struggle when Pratt was CEO. I'm not sure why, but I definitely noticed, and it was extremely frustrating. It wasn't all bad though. In 2022 they started opening the summit on opening day. This resolved what in my opinion were two major issues. One, the gondola used to be the only upper lift until almost Christmas, as they did not run the LWF chair consistently, even once Approach was open. This resulted in very long lift lines on days that weren't actually all that crowded. Two, there was no way to just lap the upper mountain for when conditions were better up there, as is often the case early season.

I would agree that this year they have performed very well. The only thing I still want before I can say they were perfect is making snow on Hoyt's. If not this week, we'd better be seeing it soon.

My son skied this weekend and over heard a Whiteface manager say they are blowing snow on Hoyts High or are getting ready to.....take that rumor for what its worth.

I have been watching the webcams at Gore and Whiteface. Note to self... There will be NO crowds on the final day of a 3 day holiday. Sorry I stayed home. Oh well, lesson learned. Either people are on their way home or they are home watching the Inauguration. Next year I ski !
