No fence, but last year they did decide to have skiers and boarders only go LEFT as they got off Bear Cub Quad. It meant you went down a short ramp before entering Lower Sunway. Huge improvement versus the congestion caused by learner groups and boarders booting in when you could go to the RIGHT...

Yes, I could forgive short staffing.... maybe. But my experience is they will start spinning Sunway Chair instead of Cub Quad! Which I hopefully addressed.... That jump, like Cork said, to the FULL Sunway Trail off Sunway Chair is a bit much. Have I skied it ...yes Sometimes, even from Ruby off...

As a cautious weekday skier my frustrations are growing with Gore's lift choices... Today I shared my thoughts with Gore's management... " I want to share with you a frustration I have with which lifts Gore spins weekdays. In previous years snow coverage might have kept Bear Cub Quad closed, but...

In a perfect world, I would lap Lower Sunway off Bear Cub Quad. Then break for lunch and head over to Ski Bowl and try Village Slopes for awhile then head home. One hour drive to and 1 hour drive home from Gore. Doable... and thanks for the heads up re: start time of Village Chair. BUT that...

I am surprised at how FEW skiers here use this forum for Whiteface Conditions? What site should I be following for WFace discussions? In the meantime, I find it baffling management has Falcon Flyer lift and all the trails in Bear Den Lodge area up and running... but can not get the WEBCAM...

The old adage (for most of us), Once you see SNOW in your backyard, the ski season starts must be true for a lot of people. I just peeked at the Base Web cam and both the Gondola and Express were quite busy at 8:30 ! I do not brave the weekend crowds but hope to make a weekday trip next week...

Thank you. I agree there are some sections of Sunway where I have second thoughts, especially when they re route me down Otter Slide as though it was a mild green trail. Last year it appeared to me Gore made an attempt to re-route a lot of the better skiers away from that section of Lower...

Old, whimpy skier question.... I have never skied at Ski Bowl How would the Village Slopes compare: To Lower Sunway off Bear Cub Quad at Gore To Otter, Moose, or Bobcat at Whiteface? I ask because weekdays Bear Cub Quad is often not spinning. but sometimes Village Slopes lift at Ski Bowl is... I...

I follow both Gore and Whiteface Reports... Am I the only one here who favors the Snow Reports from Gore ? Why, because they get them out early! Whiteface is usually not out until the morning of... I have to decide between a 1 hour or 2 hour drive... So knowing the day before is a huge plus for...

I think I remember correctly... Last year they did not cover the 'cutoff' that went over to Lower Sunway? It was even labeled as going to Lower Sunway but was mostly bare rocks. I know because I had to inch my way thru to get to Lower Sunway. I was not alone by the way...

I did visit the Webcam at Whiteface.... only the Legacy Lodge cam was working live. From what I could see from the webcam the turnout was fairly light. Of course they could all be in line some where else, like last Saturday. Hopefully someone will post a photo or to from Gore....

I had no plans to ski BUT did want to see the opening day crowd or lack of.... So the Base Area Webcam works at 5:47 AM BUT will not work live for the entire morning and early afternoon so far.

Sure wish they would fire up the Bear Den webcam... I would like to see the progress they are making with coverage.

Peeked at the base webcam this morning... much more snow being made. Plus they were moving snow into the loading area of the Express. No chairs yet, but there was definitely activity. Will they need to do a load test with chairs before it could be used? Also the heavy duty snow guns by Sunway...

I am more than a little confused with the snowmaking at the Base Lodge? We have had a number of cold nights so I expected to see some piles? It was posted Showcase might be open to allow skiing to the base of Gondola. Is there enough snow there? I actually see more snow being made near Sunway...

This seems like the correct time and place to ask this... I will be renewing my SKI3 Senior Season's pass. I bought it last year as an upgrade from my frequent skier card. Will it make any difference if I do it on GORE website or the Whiteface site? The price appears to be the same so what I am...

Last year I upgraded from Frequent Skier card to Senior SKI3 Pass. Was a deal since I saved $$ from the Frequent skier card rates for 3 trips in the Spring. Then I got a One day Buddy pass and 1/2 day pass for this the current year. Again savings to me since they were used by my adult daughter...

Hate to ask BUT.... Should I head to Whiteface tomorrow rather than brave the NYS High School racing championships? I was hoping for a nice quiet, uncrowded mountain and lodge. I have never been there for competition days. In my mind I am picturing a crazy lodge scene plus parking lots full of...

1 PM on Saturday... I have no idea if the weekend storm will be a winner or an over hyped bust, but it sure has not kept people from getting to the mountain. From the Webcams I could see Gore was busy. BUT WOW, Whiteface Bear Den area was the busiest I have seen it all season. Kind of glad I...

This was in Glens Falls Chronicle today... Since it concerns Ski Bowl and some might not get Chronicle I am posting it here. Of course I do not understand most of it. But I know others on here do. Warren County OK’s $2.5-million in Oc Tax for ORDA Ski Bowl project ; some opposition By Cathy DeDe...
