The weather is the least of Gore’s problems. I skied today with someone who was told by a mountain host that, since Howie’s retirement , ORDA is attempting to to go with one snowmaking manager for all three ski areas, and also that there is a broken pump for pushing Hudson River water up the...

Whiteface skiers are too busy skiing on all of their open terrain.

Start posting this stuff on the Gore FB page, which usually reads like a rousing chorus of Kumbaya. When the paying customers get restless management needs to know. Last year the squeaky wheel at Whiteface got greased.

The guns were blazing on all of High Peaks yesterday, probably will reopen for the weekenders. I was disappointed in the “new snow.” Most of the mountain was firm corduroy. The warm weather and rain have left lots of bare spots to avoid. Huge areas down to the ice and gravel on Sunway from the...

I had the opposite take, but maybe because I avoid days like this that I know will be crowded like the plague. By mid day every lift except Topridge and Straightbrook had long lines, even North Quad. Trails packed with testosterone-driven adolescent straight liners. Conditions started out very...

At the summit ya poop into a holding tank. A septic service truck drives up there in the spring and empties it.

I have heard that when the gondola and trails were first built on Bear, the plan was to build some kind of lodge there (if it was to replace Saddle Lodge, that would have made Gore even more gondola-centered). That’s likely why they bulldozed such a large area. That ship probably sailed when it...

Belleayre managed to find pockets for wide skis for their gondola back in2017.

Gore Mountain - Greatest Horizontal in the East Marketing had plenty of input. Every trail Gore has hyped building or working on for the last few years is in the bracket. Maybe except Moxham, a great trail that they just put snowmaking on.

Gore Mountain - Greatest Horizontal in the East.

No Lower Darby? No Tahawus? No Chatiemac? And no glades?

So does Killington.

I guess I have to throw this up again to show Dark Side after the clearcutting, blasting, bulldozing and road building. I wish I had a before picture to compare it with.

Did they open anything today that wasn’t on the report? Rumor, Lies, Uncas?

Gold star for you 🌟

Burnt Ridge quad went down today, closed for the rest of the day, not open tomorrow. Lift eating bacteria infecting Gore from the bottom up?

Before that was built into a service road over to Hedges and Burnt Ridge, it as a narrow woods road that was the uphill entrance to Tahawus Glade, barely wide enough to herringbone up. You REALLY had to want to ski trees back then. Gore should take a couple of cases of dynamite and a dozer and...
