Damn.... Do I need a special pass to get into that NYSKIBLOG.COM lounge??? Probably even comes with preferred parking! I expect to see "What's in your Wallet" Jennifer Garner putting on her boots! I wonder.... Ski boots or boarder boots???

Comparing Apples to Oranges... If you were to guestimate what would you say is the amount of man-made snow added to the natural snow? Take for example Sunway Trail just below Sunway Chair... Maybe another 24 inches over the course of the year? More? Less?

I lurk and post on a number of different sites and forums. After seeing the early posts I refrained from posting, preferring to lurk since social media is SO OFTEN wrong. Plus I always hope for the best... There was an early post suggesting an MI incident based on their observation of a tarp...

Yes, heart attack could be a possibility. There are other reports however (different blog?) that he did go off the trail. Am I being overly sensitive that no mention of the incident was made in the Snow Report? Please be smart, be safe. Now I go out to clear 10 inches of snow... Yearly Snow...

Thank you. I needed some encouraging news.

I believe I remember the early discount being only say $75 plus maybe another $50 off for the upgrade from Frequent Skier card. That could still leave an increase of $100. Guess I will just have to wait and see. With the buddy perks, last year it was a no brainer decision for me as a Senior...

Recently debated with a friend how much I paid for my Senior pass for 24-25 season. I told him under $300 and he doubted me. Today I looked at the current price.... Over $400 for the same Senior pass. So I rechecked my credit card account for March of last year. Yep, under $300 as an upgrade...

Thank you for the explanation. Both Sports Page & Inside Edge are top shops in our area. Our family has been using Sports Page for years. Always knowledgeable and helpful. Their season long rental program for kids makes skiing affordable for families. I would think the racers would be returning...

While you guys debate snowmaking... I have a racing question. Today was the first day I saw a number of skiers in obvious racing gear complete with bibs. The bibs I saw said Gore and Sports Page... Is this organized racing between clubs or mountains? I saw zero school buses so I assume it was...

Snow removal this morning came as a surprise to me... Wore out my old legs pushing and pulling my ancient snowblower so I never made it north. Out of sheer curiosity, how many parking lots did they use today? I thought maybe after the snowy weekend the 'never ski on weekends' crowd might make...

Always nice to have someone who thinks positive, amongst the rest of us. :) Bear Den at Whiteface is a delight for learners and cautious skiers like me. One of the positives not mentioned often enough is how close the lifts are to the Bear Den Lodge. Falcon Flyer and Notch lifts are so...

If I remember comments from early January correctly, the window for snowmaking could end mid February? So the belief that borrowed workers from Belleayre saved the season worries me. What about next year? Were the borrowed workers just a temporary fix? Is the Gore snowmaking problem here to...

Since the holiday will be a floater and not a set date or Monday holiday it probably never will be a big family ski vacation holiday. But for some of the small LOCAL mountains it could be a $$$ bonus... once they can plan ahead. I would think mountains like West & Willard will welcome the...

Yeah, that NYS only (so far) celebration of Lunar holiday was a surprise. The Belleayre Mt crowd was better informed, I believe I read where they SOLD OUT for the day? My political friends claimed it was spurred by Hochul. Since the Asian population was still getting the blame for Covid it was...

No bag o braces for me.... Now shoe inserts that is a different story... I have saved nearly every golf shoe insert, going back years. Superfeet green in callaway shoes... Nike inserts in a no name BOA golf shoe, etc. No fear, the callaway inserts went in my Alpina boots, under a stiff insert I...

Thank you. I was afraid the downtime would be longer. I will ski with my stretchy brace for a while longer. Then maybe decide before golf season. Never liked the goofy look, or white knee look, of knee braces for golf.

Sure, valid explanations using unweird science? BUT I saw cars from New Jersey in the parking lot. That has to mean they were drones! From the lift I also thought I saw a pair of empty boots in the snow. I assume the aliens finally found a skier with intelligent life and used their Star Trek...

Skied WF on Thursday with my daughter and grandson. They of course skied more of the mountain than I did, BUT WF was clearly a great decision. Next week will probably be a return to Gore for me... yet WF will be tempting. The extra 50 miles each way being the only downside. That, and the speed...

Hopefully someone can give an update on the lower mountain snowmaking... I am trying to decide between Gore or WFace on Thursday. I do not always find the newly made snow easy to ski on, even groomed. Thin and slippery in one spot, then sticky and flour like in another spot. That said I am glad...

Amazes me that some of my long time golf buddies from the north now can not drive in 2 inches of snow.
