Gore Conditions (2015 - 2016)

Today was my second favorite day of the year.  hero snow on Rumor and Lies...better bump lines on Lies.  If you were thinking about skiing tomorrow...do it because it will not be any better if you wait.  I'll be at Whiteface tomorrow
If today was my last day at Gore for the year(lift served)...it was well worth it

Man it was good. I am sooo whipped just woke up.  First runs at the bottom and then Lies and Rumor most of the day.




EDeO on Lies

The adrenaline today made me a better skier for a few hours. Very fun.

Unreal I lost my pass and it was returned to lost and found.

How did I not see you today?

I am wondering the very same thing.

Man...yesterday was fun at Gore!! Rumor was sweet!! Especially the top four turns...smooth, no bumps, and edgeable.

Harvey - fun to ski with ya, as usual

chatiemac, hawkeye, rumor and lies were all real nice today. chatiemac a little thin in places.
if you like soft bumps lies was run of the day.

Gore is quoted in this article today as shooting to go "through Easter weekend and beyond."

This is encouraging. I was thinking of coming up from NJ for my last weekend but am now thinking of waiting a week. Im afraid its going to be a bit rough saturday given how soft it is now and with lows in the teens friday night. Any other thoughts on conditiond for the upcoming weekend? Thanks.

Guess who's on Gore's homepage today for Kids Ski Free Week?...  yup, the Family Von Adk_Jeff.
We're in the email that got sent out today as well!

^^ I'm far more handsome in real life.

 That's a great looking family there Jeff. Pleasure to have met ya last year.

The fat lady is warming up.  Mud over to the Adirondack Express, so gondola is the only choice down low and getting sketchy getting back to the gondola on Wild Air.  We had heard Lies had the best snow recently, but it was firm hard pack as there was very little sun today.  Twister best run of the day and as the day went on it softened up nicely, but by 2 getting a bit sticky.  Getting difficult to get back to the Top Ridge lift.  Not much of a crowd today.  It looked like there was enough snow on Rumor that it might be open tomorrow.  

Personally I hope that lift access at the bottom is not the determining factor. Download!

Can't download unless you can get to Topridge to reach the top of the gondola.  ADK Express has no or limited downhill capacity and no downloading ramps, so they can't use that either.

Would be so cool, and ironic, if one of those 2-3 ft March dumps would suddenly strike and it would be all game on! for a couple weeks.

Plenty of snow on Tannery to get you to the topridge chair and download on the Gondi.  I have considered it after killing myself on Rumor and Lies
I doubt Rumor will open tomorrow and it will be a "groomed run only" day.  My daughter will love it

To clarify, there was plenty of snow on Tannery, right up until the end where it is quite thin.  

Anybody at Gore today?  I'm at WF which is pretty good.  I have a free lift ticket at Gore someone gave me - thinking of going for a couple hours Sunday morning so it doesn't go to waste.

Gore was much better than expected today.  Machine groomed very well.  Lower Chatiemac was nice and soft.  Lies was soft and groomed early but the headwall deteriorated.  I left at 12:30 and it was still skiing great.  I am going back later tomorrow after it softens and hopefully bumps up.  Not many bumps today.  The left side of the headwall on Lies skied pretty well.
