I skied the Lower Mountain Trails at Gore today and was disappointed. I have been in the sunny south for 2 weeks and thought the recent storm would refresh the snow cover on the lower trails. Trails were ribbons with less than ideal snow. Then it warmed up enough that you were polling through...

We laughingly describe my golf course as a "LTO / FTC" course.... Last to open... First to close ! Yep, even with all the unexpected warm weather and a zillion other courses open, they have not bothered to open early this year. Guess they knew we were going to get a trace amount of snow 50...

Yes it was a decent day. Possibly my last of the season as I leave for Florida at the end of next week. My "return to skiing season" after 25 years away (at the age of 74) was enough of a success, that I took advantage of the Upgrade from Frequent Skier Card rates to buy a Senior Pass for next...

Okay not real ski in ski out. But I can imagine there is a demand for Lake George (or Saratoga) chain hotels to run 3 day weekends of skiing that include your room, breakfast, after skiing restaurant, bar with a band, heated pool, and a shuttle that took you and your equipment to and from the...

First timers visiting Gore hopefully are aware of the 'commuter mountain' status. A lot of resort vacationers expect ski in ski out lodging. A good many of L George hotels and restaurants are open all week during the Winter. Some of the restaurants are more of a weekend window. But you do have...

Can someone please offer an update on what to expect on the green trails off Bear Cub Quad and Sunway Chair? I have been on the shelf for nearly 3 weeks with Covid, Covid Rebound, then damn near pneumonia. But I want to ski Monday. From what I see there has been little natural snow and not a lot...

No replies? No problem. I have decided they are not for me.

Gondola is an attraction so most ride it at least once. The lines are present first think in the morning... then gone for the rest of the day. By 2 in the afternoon the mountain is yours. I have joked that if I left my keys could valet parking move my car from Lot D, E, or F to the front row! I...

A family friend a whole lot younger than me (75) is relocating. Has not been doing a lot of skiing lately so his equipment is usually pristine. He knows I got back into skiing this year and am looking for a boot to finish the year out and hopefully use next year. Dalbello Veloce 75 is my...

Thank you for your reply... I am coming off Covid followed by a Covid rebound so I will soon be heading north to Gore again. BUT I do want to make the trip further north to Bear Den Lodge sometime in early March. After that I head to Florida to de-rust my golf swing. Just spent some time...

Question for Old Timers who remember West from 30 years ago... Did the OLD Face lift exit higher up the mountain than the current Face lift? NEW Face lift seems to exit further down the mountain... Closer to where the merging trail from above comes into the Face. Not the way I remember it ???

My misfortune continues... I chose to not ski on Monday based on the inaccurate Expected Lifts to be open published on Sunday afternoon. It was corrected on Monday morning but I stayed home thinking Wednesday would be fine. Oops, my "go to" Bear Cub Quad lift is listed as closed for Wednesday...

Old guy considering going to Whiteface for my first visit ever. Have been skiing Gore on a weekly basis but always staying lower mountain due to my ability and age. At Gore I ski Sunway, Lower Sunway, and the trails off the NEW Bear Cub Quad. Bear Cub Quad has been my go to lift because I can...

"the competition that will be run Presidents Week"... So looking at the Presidents Week, which would be the least crowded day to visit? Beyond Sat, Sunday, and of course Monday is there a day that might be less hectic? I was thinking Wednesday might be good? But I did not know there were...

I remember trying nordic (XC Sking?) a while back. Definitely a workout. My general disappointment came from the number of days there was enough snow cover. Possibly some of the centers have improved their snow cover issues? Group I was with also did a lot of snowshoe hiking. Moreau Lake was a...

Decided to skip Monday. The updated report was what I kind of expected, would have been fine. But now I will wait and see for a Wednesday trip. Same conditions and I expect the same snow report with 9 of 15 running. Enjoy.

Not many posts here BUT most share the same thoughts... Sell, sell, sell the tickets, then emphasize the racing program and the tubing. The problem is quite simple... West Mountain as many of us knew it has shrunk! Racing takes a third of the face. Terrain park takes another chunk. That leaves a...

Monday is a "Will I or Won't I" decision for me.... Living an hour away I do take a look at the EXPECTED Report. What lifts and trails are open is important to me. I have made great advances since my return to skiing, BUT still do not ski much beyond green trails. Well tonight (5:30 PM) the...

BTW I visited Whiteface conditions forum... They sure are jealous of Gore's snow making!

I'm getting excited. Can you imagine the excitement building at the reading of our will... who was mom and dad's favorite and will get Gondola 50? More likely, who gets "stuck with" Gondola 50. Kids just don't appreciate our classic treasures....
