Gore Mountain, NY: 2/10/13

Ski Day 21:  Not only was Friday great, and Saturday even better... Sunday was the best day of the weekend.  Under sunny skies I found the best snow I've skied since the bloggers summit at Jay Peak two years ago.

It was COLD in the morning, 12 below zero at the cabin, and 6 below down at the river.  There is something reassuring about temps that are not inverted.


Early morning steam fog ice off the river

One thing I love about skiing from the Ski Bowl is that I can arrive 45 minutes later than normal (8am) and park 30 feet from the lift.  That extra time gives me a chance to patronize one of my favorite spots in town...

Rarely do you see cord that hasn't even been touched by PATROL.

I skied with the Men in Black. That's always an honor, but today, with prime conditions, skiing through the work that they are most proud of, it was even more special.

If you are anything like me, much higher percentage of tele in the trees.  Basically - bumps or trees (which are often similar at Gore) ... I'm doing tele. For tele on the trails it probably has to look something like this:





Newman = fixed it!

Are those glades on or off the map? Inquiring minds would love to know.

Thanks fellas.  I don't know that I know any of you, but your work is much appreciated.  Every time I see that "DARKSIDE" tree it makes me smile.
