Not sure why they would have a turn in the lift. Should be a straight shot. They clearly need to widen The beginner trail, Boreen Loop? If they are dumping beginners off that quad. Also the trail at the bottom of Wilmington that goes over to bear den will need to be widened.

Just curious what is the deal with Northwest? Was there last Thursday and it wasn't open although the ski report listed the trails as open

In concert with this lodge they need to better connect the bowl by putting in the trail from Burnt Ridge to the Pipeline. Also when the interconnect was first proposed one of the main justifications was to connect Gore with North Creek. At the time there were plans to build a hotel and condos...

I accomplished a bucket list item yesterday; I’ve always wanted to go skiing on my birthday. I had envisioned this for a long time going on a ski trip to New Zealand or perhaps South America. I finally skied on my birthday in New Jersey, not what I imagined but it was a fun day and the logistics...

Question. I usually ski Gore and am wondering what the best place to park if I want to skip the lodges and just start skiing? Overlook? Tomahawk? This is a weekday if that matters

While evidently a 2 or 3 patrollers could not come in due to Covid issues a piece of the problem is that is that when Vail took over Hunter they stopped giving volunteer patrollers passes for their family, There may also be some labor issues with the paid patrollers. Not surpassingly this led to...

I took the new High peaks lift yesterday for the first time. Yes the liftline has lots of downed trees and a few piles of boulders, no skiing it this year without snow of epic proportions. Also no way to cross the liftline to ski the glades between it and Hulabaloo. I hope/assume Gore will clean...

When I think of the the dark side at Gore it wasn't just the lifeline but the woods between the liftline and Hullabaloo and the woods between Lower Steilhang and the liftline. I haven't been up the lift yet but I assume those parts of the dark side are still intact. They will likely clean up...

Every year we go to the movie in Albany to get the free or half price passes to Gore, Sugarbush and a couple of others. I looked at the site and it indicates you get the coupons but the only ones I saw were for some ski shops in Westchester and Connecticut and Swain out by Rochester. Seems...

We have an elderly dog who recently has had some stool incontinence issues. The vet recommendation is a "low residue dog food" which should reduce his pooping. Perhaps that would work for skiers also?

Skied Sunday River this week for the first time, fun mountain with lots of variety, really enjoyed it. We got really lucky as the conditions and weather were near ideal and the mountain was about 100% open and there was powder to be found in the glades every day. It wasn't even cold except for...

Used our Max pass to go to Loon where we had not been to before. Really enjoyed our 2 days there snow was excellent, crowds non-existent and hotel inexpensive since it was mid-week. Loon is a moderately sized mountain probably a little smaller than Gore. It has 3 areas North Peak, South Peak and...

Spent a long weekend at Whiteface staying at a house we rented in Lake Placid. We were not expecting much as it poured rain 2 days before we got there and the golf course in Lake Placid had a sign for Sleigh Rides but looked better suited for golf. When we arrived at the mountain there was zero...
