Gore Mountain, NY: 12/22/08
I knew when I woke up this morning, there was a pretty good chance things would be on wind hold. It was howling at our place. And with only half a day to ski, I considered draining the pipes and heading home. But the pull of the mountain got me.
It didn’t look good for the Gondi. It wasn’t moving at all at 8:15. One piece of true comedy, Gore announced that the only lift cleared for operation was Lift 3, the Sunway Chair. Everyone from the Gondi line zooped over to the Sunway Chair. The lifty over there got kinda nervous I think. He can usually sleep over there, and he was really anxious for the ok to start loading. For some reason everyone went up, one skier per chair, it was like a scene from Mad River Glen.
Gore Mtn, NY: 12/21/08
It never really totally stopped snowing last night. Ultralight flurries fell overnight adding up to maybe an inch. I was up about 5am. At 6:30 the wind picked up and it started to snow. It was about 5 degrees when I headed toward the mountain at 7:30. In the parking lot everyone was expecting snow:
In the time it took me to walk from the parking lot to the lodge it started to dump bigtime. And it dumped pretty much all day:
I went in and got my gear on. It was about 8:10, and I was yammerin on about something to some poor soul. The Gondi light went green, I excused myself and got my self into a cabin.
