Gore Conditions (2017 - 2018)

If you click on "Go Live" it seems you can control the position of it a little bit.  Unfortunately sometimes it seems to point at the wall.  Need to get the kinks out.

Looks great on the surface.  Beware of what lies underneath.   Or what doesn't perhaps more appropriately.

Remarkably great conditions.  Probably because it didn’t really rain too much, it froze up quickly, there was just enough grooming, an inch of new snow on top and about 50 people on the mountain.  

I was surprised at how the base looked on the cam this am. Seemed like a little bit of a bullet dodge.

how is the coverage at Gore for this weekend?  Headed there for 2 days of Super G races

Coverage is pretty good. It is very firm and very fast. Sagamore will jar your teeth so be careful if you have any loose fillings

Any snowmaking going on?

Yes...they were blowing snow on TopRidge and the run out to the Burnt Ridge Chair

Thanks! Love skiing Topridge with fresh gun pow. Might be a prime Topridge day on Saturday.

Southwest 20-30 mph winds forecast for tomorrow with gusts to 45. TR chair might have some issues. Thinking the front, north side and BR might be places to hideout from the wind. We were planning on skiing WF tomorrow but forecast is 50mph with gusts to 70 up there.

Icy and firm with the exception of Topridge (where there was freshly blown snow and snowmaking whales).

Weirdly crowded, but sometimes not crowded.

Topridge was great.  Fairview is also nice to have as it's so much better than Ruby Run when going to the Saddle.

Topridge was so good today and I looked so good skiing it Gore took a picture of me for today's twitter post! (I'm on the right)



Glad I made the cut for the Gore "expert" designation as mentioned in today's tweet! (Not to boast but always considered myself at that level )

Topridge was great today though. Nice and soft!

I have the gondola to myself on a weekend.  #onlyatgore

Echo opened to the public after the race.  Sagamore and Topridge really good.  Everyone left because conditions sucked in the morning.

Nice. You don't know till you go.

What happened you didn't apply the okemo and the zits scared the customers. Blahaha

I was definitely having more fun as the day went on. Uncas was pretty eh early in the morning, Lies was decent. After lunch I hit Sagamore, and it seemed like the snow was starting to soften up. Finished up with a couple runs on Topridge, had a great time but it kicked my ass. Topridge probably had the best snow of the day aside from maybe Sagamore.

Some of the more trafficked blue runs did have some big patches of ice. Twister in particular had a huge one on the right side about 2/3 of the way down.

I did see on Saturday the guns setting up on rumor.   It’s coming.
