Gore Mountain Conditions

[TomCat]

Conditions better than yesterday. Got to backwoods after lunch and it was actually good.
Started to tge bowl but took the shuttle to the main base due to all lifts on hold because of ice. AE was running before 9:00, but probably 11:00 before north and gondola opened.

I do wish the mountain would do a better job communicating what’s going on. They don’t even inform the employees.

Literally my biggest gripe with Gore. Post an accurate trail report say around 7 each morning that reflects what is actually going to open and a snowfall total. If there are delays note them. If they did this a big chunk of my gripes would be gone. Not kidding

Maybe they could bring in some outside consultants to come up with a plan to implement a new system.

I’m writing up a report saying when the forecast calls for freezing rain, put the damn chairs in the shed. I only want $100,000 for this report. I’ll send the invoice to lake placid.

Based on the webcam, they did put the AE2 chairs in the shed. Not sure why they never use the sheds for the gondola and hudson. The carriers are always left on the line, so if there is any ice, then everything seizes up.

I guess that would help explain why that lift was running before 9:00.
My apologies to management.

Make gondola maintenance and operation great.
Allow them to get in a barn when needed.
Folks do it with horses.

That's why they need to enclose the cabin parking. The rails are already in place at the top. Indoor cabin storage is absolutely essential for proper gondola maintenance and operations, yet is omitted by so many resorts.

Apparently they need a consultant to tell them to do that.

Every ski area that I ski at/follow on line only uses their social media sites (and they are all on several) purely for “Kumbaya” good news public relations blurbs and photos. There are never posts of weather delays, lift holds, trail closures that could easily be communicated to skiers on and off the mountain. Are they afraid that they might lose just one paying customer who sees discouraging news on their way to the mountain?
And don’t bother asking customer service, lifties, patrol, etc. The standard response is “I don’t know.” Information is compartmentalized and, intentionally or not, guarded like state secrets.
