Agree Topridge was good early - also open pit and Chatiemac. I skied front side first hitting Twister, Showcase, Quicksilver before going up top. It was all pretty good - I avoided Hawkeye as it looked and sounded like it needed another day - but at 11 I headed to Backwoods and Bowl, then a...

Website says Straightbrook is fixed. But at this time yesterday it said Open Pit and Headwaters would be open today…anyone know if they ever dropped those ropes? I came down to lower mountain at 11 to help some friends with three first time skiers under 13. First time on a magic carpet in a...

Straightbrook chair is down, and headwaters and open pit aren’t open yet. At least they messaged both on website but a drag after they promised those runs last night.

anyone know what these tracks are from under the TR chair? These were about 8-12” long and 2-3’ apart - looked big from the chair compared to usual critters or deer. I said rabbit sinking in more than usual - my son said bear after getting no answer from gbt.

Gore AI checkout thing mistook my napkins for a burger and tried to charge me $11:). Guess I can’t blame them since napkins probably taste better.

At least 4 guns each were going all day Friday on Headwaters and Wood In which made me think they would both be open by now. I’m not complaining - whole mountain open by Xmas is a huge achievement - just thought both those vital connections would be open by now.

My son might have been on Hawkeye and lower double barrel (that’s what I call under the chair below Hawkeye - does it have a name?) yesterday. Sounds like it might have been the poach of the day with a lot of others doing the same. He and his buddy had big smiles and tales to tell. I will join...

Pretty great day if you’re dressed for it. Conditions are hard and fast and it's pretty empty for 12/26. On one run around noon I had sunway and quicksilver to myself from the showcase intersection down…when does that happen on a holiday? Haven’t been to Topridge or summit yet - headed there...

I toured the Park yesterday having not seen any winds over 20mph in weather app forecasts for Whiteface so drove from Qby to find the whole mountain on wind hold even Notch lift. So I then drove to Gore and arriving at 10am decided to go to Bowl even though website said BR was on wind hold...

Was going to go to WF today but positive reports here made me decide to save the driving. No regrets - started with Moxham and 46er - both solid but edgeable. Sagamore was worth some laps and Backwoods was in good shape. just did Lies which was fun. Headed to Topridge for some sun but it...

Agree - nice relatively quiet day with gentle snow almost all day. Everything was great- 46er a little icy at the end but great first thing. Favorites were probably Topridge, Sagamore, Rumor. I’m too old for Rumor when it’s whales so I appreciated the groom. Sad to see rain in forecast…

Yeah I was contemplating a day skiing off the sunway lift - it was sooooo much better.

First day skiing since MLk Day thanks to Norovirus and work. What a difference! I was relatively impressed with how quickly they got the bowl open in the days leading up to MLK, but having good snow instead of ice and dirt sure makes a difference. I arrived late (9am) figuring it wouldn’t be...

Someone told me today that they adjusted the haul rope on straightbrook in the summer and didn’t get it right so they can’t fix it til summer again. The person wasn’t patrol or staff so who knows if that is accurate.

Gore did well today - kudos. Handled the big day well from my perspective and I had a great day skiing for almost 7 hours. Darby and Echo were my favorites. They really need Open Pit to Darby - the curve on Cloud around to under the lift got bumpy and the falls were piling up. I still think...
