So will the granular snow be something a cautious skier like myself be able to handle on trails off Bear Cub Quad? (No Sunway Chair today) I would think a couple of days of grooming would have given me an inch or more of "East Coast" snow to ski on? I will likely drive up any way but could use...

Need some advice.... I am 50 miles south, another night of rain here. I had planned on skiing Gore Tuesday. Should I abandon that idea. No natural snow in the forecast, likely no snowmaking. I usually only ski trails off Bear Cub and Sunway and I imagine they will not have time to recover...

I am sure 90% of Whiteface skiers would not care... But, my family is a fan of the Bear Den area. Nice lodge, variety of trails, separate parking. Besides the conveyors you have Falcon Flyer and The Notch lifts so it really does meet the needs of some of us. Being able to see it... and the lack...

I may get this wrong... I believe the guy who runs a grill in Glens Falls (Southpaw?) might be the one opening the restaurant at the new lodge. Great reputation down here, but of course that will mean nothing, starting new 50 miles north. What is the expectation? Will it's LOCATION be a success?

Have you ever watched 'Maine Cabin Masters' on Magnolia Network? Seeing your place I am sure you would enjoy some of their 'saves'. Impressive seeing them bring a former hunting camp, for example, back to live. Some had been abandoned for years, even decade or so. My family rented places in the...

I thought of another advantage golf has over skiing.... TEE TIMES! Can you imagine the advantage of a designated 'tee time' when it comes to parking, picking up your ticket, and arriving at the lift. You and 50 of your friends are scheduled to arrive at 8:30... others at 8:45, etc. You can only...

Wow, the mention of Sports Page really cleared my brain fog. Maybe some locals will remember..... Sports Page, Inside Edge and racing gates, Fall Line ski shop, Morans & of course the Tent Sale!, Mike Brandt / West Mtn, Night skiing at West and Willard, Night Nordic Skiing at Crandall Park, CB...

If there is ever a HOF for ski shops... Sports Page should be one of the first chosen. Their rental program for growing kids has put generations of kids into decent equipment families could afford. Always a fun experience trying to balance the enthusiasm of " I want ...." with the reality of...

After skiing at Gore we went up to check out the Bowl... and the new Lodge. It looks fine, is close to the lifts, and I assume has a great view of the mountain and lifts. My first impressions? Is the parking convenient? Maybe too 'fancy' for the trails it serves? Selfishly, I wish something...

My senior pass renewal at around $250 is a bargain... the 2 buddy passes for my adult daughter actually nearly covers the cost. As for myself I usually get in 12 to 15 days at Gore, plus 2 or 3 at Whiteface. We even do a Fall gondola trip... I must say it is always amazing to me when I see a...

Forgot to ask.... I know Gore at one time had a Lower Mountain only pass. Now called Learner Pass? Probably does the carpets, Bear cub, and Sunway Chair. It might be the perfect answer for a starter trip on Friday. I kind of hate to waste a buddy pass this early in the season. Plus honestly, the...

I have never tried the Twilight Skiing at Bowl. I am considering it for either New Years Day or Friday... I have Season Pass, Grandson has Frequent Skier Card, so that leaves buying a ticket for our adult daughter. Will the Frequent skier card even be accepted at Twilight? BUT my real question...

Exit 19? Are you talking the Ambrosia Diner just off the Northway going north? There are also a handful of chargers in the Aviation Mall parking lot... Target and Penneys end. Same Exit 19.

I am probably not the one to make a true assessment BUT I felt there was no overall positive vibe to Gore today. Yes, It was a positive day for me as explained above. Yet the feeling was one of restraint. No shuttle running gave the feeling they were not expecting to be busy, or ready to be...

Update... I had a nice first day of the season (for me) at Gore. The Bear Cub Quad was lightly used for the first couple of hours. But by 10:30 or so, there were some official lesson groups, plus the usual scattering of mom & dad with kids 'family' learn to ski outings. Bear Cub Quad is SO...

Good news... for me. Bear Cub Quad and Sunway Chair are open tomorrow. My guess is Friday counts as a weekend? Now if I can just beat the crowd up the Northway....

West is closer. West actually is trying a 'soft' opening this weekend. My problem with West is the congestion at the bottom of the mountain which West calls The Face. Years ago it was once a wide open area. But over the years the original learner area was replace with a multiple run Tubing park...

I have always thought a perk that could be offered to Pass Holders like myself would be a half price lesson. Instead they offer me a free rental? What pass holder really needs a free rental? I am a senior skier and a cautious skier BUT at one time my son, daughter and I skied nearly every...

Must not have been in the budget... You build a multi million dollar Bear Cub Quad lift then do not use it or make it visible. I will add the Bear Den at Whiteface has its very own designated camera showing the learning area and Falcon Flyer lift. Certainly encourages people to go there... it...
