Gore Conditions (2013-2014)

Personally, I don't want to see patrol have to go into the woods and pull someone out because they jumped a rope.  It is a waste of resources... and if that person decides to sue for their ACL they popped it raises my ticket price.

It would take a lot of balls to duck a rope then sue for damages when you get hurt. Can't imagine that happens very often.

But, yes, that's my point. Nobody from the mountain will ever say: "sure, duck ropes, ski closed trails, ski ob, do whatever you want". They're more likely to take a hardline stance (especially in anything written down). You just have to follow the rules, and if you get caught breaking them, rely on your natural charm to get you out of it. I, for one, have very little natural charm, so I try not to break the rules that often.

I would not put it past any 13 year olds lawyer mother from filing anything.

I've found that to be the answer to most of life's problems.

Got out this morning. Great coverage for pre-Xmas. Guns were still going hard on Rumor. The bottom skied great. Up top was pretty firm in spots after getting skied off, but fun. Darkside had snowmaking whales to play on. Ducked into "Darby Woods" (DON'T WORRY DACKERDAN IT WAS OPEN!) I made three turns and took a hard left out to Lower Darby after muscling through the gack. Darkside Glades never opened, but I would not have gone in after that anyway.

No worries. I saw your post when I got back to work. I didn't go in hot since it was likely pretty thin anyway.

Txt from Yukon Cornelius:

"Greetings from the top of the Gore Gondola"

From what I'm seeing on Facebook, skiing looks decent or better.

They say fog is really hard on snow.

Two days ago Gore was great. Think I'll go cry.

Return to quicksilver.

We didnt loose much snow in Lake George yet and now are getting freezing rain.  How much snow has gore lost so far?

Gore lost quite a bit from Friday to Saturday. Lots or bare spots, but quite a few trails still in good shape.

I thought about going today, but with it below freezing I was afraid it would be an ice rink early.

Yea, was planning to ski for the next 3 days. I think I'll call my dentist and schedule a root canal, I don't need one but it sure beats watching what is happening around here.

I can't believe that Gore got it so bad.

The skiing was actually very good on Saturday, although you could hear water flowing downhill under the lift. Anything steep was really fun since you could trust most turns. Lower mountain was a little more work. I was soaked through by 12:30.

From Gore's Facebook:

Groomers and snowmakers are hitting things hard tonight, and the chill is back in the Adirondack air. Our first priority will be re-surfacing the East Side and some of the other trails we've had open, but look for new terrain coming soon too, as the North Side has huge piles already in place. We anticipate a very quick recovery to last weekend's yuck, please stay tuned.
