Jeans for the 1978 win!!!

Today started out great except for the insane 45mph SE wind that kept the Gondi and the snow bowl lifts off line. The snow conditions were excellent where the wind had not scoured the trails down to the hard pack. The best run was the Supertrail in the Sun Bowl. It was top to bottom soft snow...

Packed powder and fogged in on the upper third of the mountain. The skiing is excellent with many rope drops.

Today's view

Awesome day!! Sometimes you get lucky.

Powder day at Stratton!

Just join the Hermitage Club at the former Haystack Mountain Ski area. There are about 400 current member families. The mountain is completely empty with so few people as members. https://www.hermitageclub.com/

What a dumb ass. We had a 75ft oak in our backyard that seemed healthy. I was grilling burgers when I heard a crack. I dove across our brick patio away from the closest tree (that oak). Out of nowhere, a 10inch branch broke off and almost killed me. It was pure luck as I had no idea were that...

always need a good ice up before Xmas -

Hilarious watching some NYS Assemblyman from Brooklyn beating the 'we need the winter Olympics in NYS' drum. NYS continues to have zero oversight over ORDA as we watch ORDA build a completely new $30million ski area day lodge without septic. How would NYS ever deal with an Olympic build out...

It helps that Ford still has a Ford as Chairman of the Board (Henry Clay Ford, great grandson of Henry Ford). He still likes Farley and/or Henry Clay Ford drove the current situation and clearly does not blame Farley.

Or gas........

Every hour is amateur hour at ORDA. What could possibly go wrong when you hire an ex-luger to run ORDA despite zero operational experience in anything, let alone running 3 large ski venues, ski jumping facilities, a bobsled facility, x country facilities, and ice rinks, all with day lodges? As...

He was referencing going up Pete Gay Mtn (3137 ft ele) to the north of Gore.

I think it is great that Vonn is doing this. You know she does the work and was very competitive last season. One of the best things about ski racing is the clock does not lie. She is amazing.

The ranking chart is an embarrassment. Objectively using Gore only- 1. Gore's size (at 3 points on the chart) is almost 1/3 more acreage of any other ski area in NYS and 900 more vert than every other ski area except WF - how is it ranked the same as 5 other NYS areas including Greek Peak (...

How about Willard? It is much closer to you than Gore. It opens at 10am on Thurs/Fri and 9am on weekends and holidays. https://www.willardmountain.com/

I appreciate your frustrations with lift closures at Gore. We have all had to deal with this, especially midweek. Since it takes you an hour to drive to Gore, maybe there is a smaller ski area within the same time frame that would be similar to the Bear Cub?

I absolutely love these early morning Gore updates! You should have retired sooner. ;)

Uhoh, sounds like it might be time to get some downhill boots
