I missed out on the old Red Gondola cars as a souvenir. Still see plenty hanging in front yards. I'll have to start planning for the bigger cars? Double seater outhouse? Maybe a really awesome truck cap? Mount some wheels and have a Gore tag along camper or food truck? Cool vegetable stand? Or...

Just read the Snow Report for Monday. Gore's choices in lifts to operate is sure confusing. I realize it is a Monday but having both the Express and Sunway Chair not running? I will ski trails off the Bear Cub Quad but my daughter will be disappointed. Another breakdown issue? Or staffing...

Thanks. My grandson has the ISKINY Passport (fourth grader) so he has 2 days free at Gore, and some other NYS mountains. Gore is one of the mountains that DOES allow the passport to be used on vacation days! So that might be a good option vs the weekend crowds. He and I would be Bear Cub Quad...

Fingers crossed Sunday's storm brings fresh snow. My last two days at Gore have been packed powder. I am beginning to wonder if they will be my two best days of the season? I try not to ski on school vacation weeks, so that shrinks February. I taught for nearly 40 years so a mountain full of out...

Preaching to the choir re: over emphasis on racing. The Face has always been congested since the entire mountain empties into it. But having that 1/3 always designated for racing shrinks the general ski area a lot. Then take another swatch for a terrain park and it shrinks even more. For me the...

My initial impression was the trails off Falcon would not have the "mix" of skiers that Bear Cub Quad has. Cub Quad trails have some pretty fast traffic from above on Sunway. A couple of jumps had already been created at Pole 6. I liked the winding trail feel of the Cub Quad trails. Not sure I...

I asked when I got off shuttle and was told it was for rental customers and those taking lessons. Was that incorrect ? When I was in the N Woods Lodge briefly I never saw an area that looked like a general public boot up area with bag storage. Of course after being told it was not a general...

Whiteface...."increase in sales after Bear Den Lodge renovation, the mountain is friendlier to families and beginners now,". On my 4th visit to Gore I finally got to use the Bear Cub Quad which was billed as Gore's "friendlier to families and beginners" improvement. And YES, it was exactly that...

I saw the Cub Quad was green lighted for tomorrow. Even better news that it was actually running today. I have the chance to go on Monday... So I will see if it is scheduled to run on Monday after the snow on Sunday. I have fingers crossed it does not become just a 'weekend' lift. Thanks for...

I probably do not want to know the answer... Could someone who knows the correct people ask for me "What is the update on the Bear Cub Quad?" I have tried asking at the mountain but have gotten multiple answers. And honestly do not know who to ask. Gore? ORDA? What concerns me is the Daily Snow...

My 4th visit to Gore today... Still NO Bear Cub Quad. This time I was told part was on order? Brand new lift already needs parts? Hmm. As suggested earlier I did try the J Bar lift and hill. After a few tries I did get the hang of the lift... first tap a warning, second tap is the one that...

West Mountain's beginner slope has an orange plastic mesh fence at the bottom. They are constantly begging moms, dads, and grandparents like me to stay behind the fence. Why? Because sooner or later a young helmeted missile will come bombing down the slope while a parent is screaming "pizza...

I am in the Glens Falls area. Gore around an hour. Whiteface probably 1 3/4 hours. Belleyre well over 2.5 hours in dry conditions so likely not an option. BTW the Snow Conditions update for Friday again shows B Cub Quad still not running. Since they are now running the J Bar daily it would...

Last year when the grandson was learning to snowboard, I kept a folding camp chair in the trunk. I did not use it too often but it was great for true spectators like my wife. At West the learner area use to be by the main lodge... with lots of windows. Now it is far to the right and a real hike...

Should I wear a paper bag to cover my identity? Kind of embarrassing to go with a friend. They go to the mountain side you go out the back door? Not sure I have ever been back there before. One of the Ski Ambassadors told me he was glad to see the J-bar closed. Not easy for beginners to use...

As a mid 70's retiree returning to skiing so I can enjoy my grandson learning to ski I am sure there are some who understand my disappointment over the Bear Cub Quad almost never running. A beginner lift feeding lower mountain trails played a huge part in my decision to by pass closer mountains...

On my 3 trips so far... the snow conditions were far better than I expected. More people skiing than I expected so the demand is certainly there. But I am getting hesitant to book ahead because of the lift issues. Others want difficult, I want easier (but not Magic carpet easy!) and we are both...

The other lifts are magic carpets. Those runs are not long enough to help me much. Yet each time I take the Sunway Chair I get a few too many areas that are too steep for me given the conditions. Catch 22 gone bad. Next trip WILL include a lesson but I have my fingers crossed the lesson could...

Web cam currently only goes left to the sunway chair... Good to know it is running.

Looks like Bear Cub Quad was scheduled to run from the written report... but now x-ed out on the lift chart listing. I wonder if it was staffing? or breakdown problem. 3 trips and I have yet to catch it open... bummed as I need the lower mountain, easier trails. Hopefully it will be running...
