Finally seriously considering toget one of the Lubricating shots for my left knee. Not because of pain, the knee is just plain balky in the morning. Does not look swollen but sure feels that way? Actually gets freer after an hour or two. Not good for my golf game or for skiing. I am sure they...

Can not disagree about the cold that was being forecast as a factor. As a retiree of many years I can pick and choose when to ski. Last Friday I chose Gore and was disappointed. This week I am off the mountain until probably Thursday. And my mountain selection for this week will be Whiteface.

I have been watching the webcams at Gore and Whiteface. Note to self... There will be NO crowds on the final day of a 3 day holiday. Sorry I stayed home. Oh well, lesson learned. Either people are on their way home or they are home watching the Inauguration. Next year I ski !

With the backing of ORDA and the State of New York it is pretty clear Gore will not be failing anytime soon. But there has been discussions on the forum about what it needs to do to attract workers and be more of a destination versus a commuter mountain. Forty miles down the Northway, West...

I failed the ink spot test yesterday... Sunway Chair was open so I elected to use it thinking I could switch over to Lower Sunway trail. I was helping a couple of ladies, one of whom was having a hard time with the initial steepness below Sunway Chair. Otter Slide was blocked by crossed marker...

Quick update. After my dentist appointment got moved to earlier in the morning I decided to check out Gore Web cam. As of 10 AM there appeared to be a smallish crowd. So I was surprised to be in Lot F when I got there a bit before 11. But there still were almost zero lines. People definitely...

My first time to Bear Den was on a very windy day. Parked in closest lot and walked the rest of the way up. I did not get a chance to check out the location that much. This next time I will have extra people with me. I probably missed it last time, but is there a ski, boot bag, and passenger...

I did not get a survey in my email... so far. I do have a season pass if that was the qualifying condition? Or it may be based upon previous contact or request for information. Tried your link but it says Survey Completed and gives no further access, probably to protect the privacy of your reply?

Amazing summary and advice. You know more about the mountain than I know about my own back yard! Even something for an old I Ski Green guy like me. Thank you.

If you want (or need) foreign visa workers you need organized housing and transportation for them. Dormitory style housing ? Transportation shuttles? Whiteface, because of Lake Placid, has an abundance of workers. I was at Whiteface on Friday, I swear a third of the worker all came from the same...

I am sure the OP was somewhat serious. But for most of us it is more comedy than drama. I imagine it is a liftie's nightmare to be assigned 4 hours on a carpet lift. Huge battles with parents that want to walk up the often carpeted side of the entire lift as a confidence builder for the...

The conveyors without any roof coverage are the worse. Even a tiny bit on snow on them, add a bit of upslope, and many skiers will start to slide backwards! The lifties solution is usually to tell you to take one ski off and use it as a crutch. My solution is to nearly always take both skis off...

I was all set to go to Gore Monday. Enjoyed Whiteface but the shorter drive is tempting. Plus I need to do some Gore swag shopping for my grandson's birthday, Not surprisingly they will not have Sunway chair running. I had hoped to extend my Bear Cub trails to at least Lower Sunway from the...

I watched the web camera a couple of times today... Ideal conditions plus a blue sky. And it was still not busy. Next time I want to extend my comfort zone to NOTCH lift. Is that a mid point? Can you unload there? I seem to remember a video showing the lift does a 'turn' there? From Falcon (just...

To hell with cones... I had similar problems a couple of weeks ago in the same LOT D. Had to do a 20 point K Turn to inch out of the squeeze because of the line of cars ALLOWED to park single file down the center of the travel lanes. These are within eye sight of the offices. Post parking...

I posted this on the Gore Conditions site as well, but wanted to post it here because the positive comments here are what swayed me to make the right decision.... Thank you! A wise decision may...

A wise decision may have saved my ski season... It is no secret I only ski green. Probably can ski some easy blues but skiing alone I usually stick with trails I am totally confident on. On Friday I made the decision to drive the extra 45 minutes to Bear Den trails at Whiteface. I had never...

Found an explanation re Invictus Games. Not something I was familiar with. The Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event first held in 2014, for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans. I was worried they might be closing runs for a competition or...

Team United States training for the 2025 Invictus Games? This has been posted daily this week on Snow Report.... Is this for physically challenged? Am I mistaken? Yet I have seen no one on the trails when looking at Webcam? Probably because of the extreme cold? Friday should be a far busier day...

Helpful. Sounds doable. Thanks Still hate the extra hour drive to and then extra hour home. But the discussions on Gore thread have been discouraging. Guess I will crank up the Led Zeppelin and CCR and enjoy the road trip. Disappointed the "Saturday storm" will never get north of Albany.
