Gore Conditions

Skied Gore Wednesday 9:30 to 3:45 with temps in the 20s, light wind with sunshine breaking out 10-2ish.
Started with Showcase then Twister to Burnt Ridge and hit Sagamore followed by fun runs on Echo (trail of the day).
Went over to Northside for runs on always fun Tahuwus then to High Peaks double for a couple runs and then Cloud to Straight Brook and hit Chatiemac while my legs were still holding up.
TopRidge was next and did 2 laps on Pine Knot.
Decided to see what Wild Air was like as it had the best snow last time I was there. Made minor mistake of staying out of the banked turn track and went left of it which was somewhat narrow and a tad skied off. I saw skiers in there after I passed the entrance and it looked like it could be fun.
Took Gondola back up and Twistered to Echo. Finished the day on Showcase which skied well even late in the day.
Everyone was enjoying themselves.
 
Road up with a backcountry skier from Garnet hill who said he knows ya Harv.

Great day, good snow and no ice on any trail but what's stuck to trees especially up top.
Quite pretty but hope no high winds hit before it dislodges. Pines are pretty with it but saw almost a dozen bucket trucks coming south between Speculator and W. Canada Creek. The trees there look like ones on the top of Gore (white corralish).

Everything skied well and ran smoothly.

Uh oh, just noticed this too:

Was that on Saturday or Sunday?

Rumor was perfect today.   Like skiing on styrofoam.  

Doubt it'll ski that good much longer! Once the hoards descend tomorrow it'll be scraped quick

Tomorrow’s forecast today

Powder day!

Nice that is excellent.
Enjoy it Harvey

Scotty pretty sure that is a mistake.

Gore skiing pretty nicely.  Higher elevations must have had a little snow overnight. Top half of Barkeater, Tahawas very nice.

Snow on Rumor and Double Barrel also primo.

Agree it skied pretty well today. Got a late start so put in at the bowl. No parking problems. Ski bowl glades were ROTD, did multiple laps. Barkeater was good too.

Seemed like today was way busier than yesterday. Not really crowded, but more people. Waited in my first ever line at Burnt Ridge. Which wasn't really a line at 5 minutes but shows the crowd was bigger.

To top the day off, checked out Beck's with TheGreatAbyss for the first time. Great place! Need to ski down to it next time and figure out the route to get down there.

There is no skiable route to Beck's

Good weekend.

Yesterday was huge for my daughter getting her first double blacks. 46er, Lies, Rumor, Double Barrel and Ski Bowl Glades.

Nice to see Suds in Barkeater, this am.

Did the BRQ come back before EOD? Anyone get stuck?

We had a great weekend at Gore.  Never made it further than the top of Burnt Ridge other than a few runs down Tahawas and  Powder Pass, just to say we visited the other side of the mountain.

Everything Ski Bowl and Burnt Ridge was excellent, a bit crusty in the woods, off piste.

Best part....skiing with my daughter and her brother.  Two strong and confident skiers.  I’m so lucky.

Not sure if this is an open invite but if it is and I can make it up, would love to.

Snowing at Gore at 9:30am...



...during a holiday week, but no update yet on the snow report.

2” plus so far in the valley.   Snowing hard!

Any accumulation updates?

At least 3 inches on my car when I left, so I'm going to guess 5-6 at Gore's base. It was pretty heavy, so it's likely that there was more snow up top. About 4 inches on the ground at the Glen.
