Whiteface Conditions

Pretty awesome day today! It was pea soup fog up to about 1/2 way down Mt Run and bluebird above on our first run. Approach, Mt Run and Upper Parkway were groomed to perfection and the 2" of fresh with the soft base and very few people provided many "WAHOOS"!! ;) ⛷️
We lapped those for an hour or so and then ventured off to Essex, which was very good and down to the Summit lift. Long line, and not really worth the wait as Paron's was good but a shit show of skiers that were there only for the view.
We ended that run with Victoria and it was really good.
Headed back to Little WF lift and lapped that for a few more hours and those trails were still awesome. The expert trails were in great shape today, and had very little traffic, everywhere else it was cray cray.
In the gondi line the Employees were telling guests about masking inside of the gondi, and that they didn't want what happened at K to happen there.
Skyward guns blasting all day!
Big shout to the Whiteface Mt Ops for kicking ass on snowmaking and grooming!!
Thank you!!(y) ⛷️ :)

Looks like Snowmaking on Skyward is on hold. Was told it is compatibility issues between new and old system. You can hear the air leaks as you ride the summit lift and we all know those leaks have been there for years. This is a major feature of Whiteface as a ski area (Steepest Vertical) and it has succumbed too poor maintenance. Total lack of Whiteface/ORDA management to recognize what makes Whiteface different from the rest and capitalize on it. Disappointing to say the least.
 
Compatibility?? That sounds laughable. The new pipes probably hold a greater pressure, either because they're better or not degraded. But if this is a legit reason, did nobody think about this earlier?

Lately it seems like little thought into anything by management. Have you seen the placement of the base of the new lift replacing Bear Lift? Beginner skiers first experience is hiking to a lift. Now that is laughable.
