Gore Mountain NY: 3/26/16

Pumped to get Ski Day 30.

Such a great day.  Beautiful corn, sun and a Plattekill Blue sky.


Rumor

You could really see the payoff of the effort spent to lay it down on the main routes.  While the bottom was pretty brown Twister was full on awesome, still holding up. Sunway/Quicksilver was solid too.

What was open on top had very solid coverage. Hawkeye, Rumor, Lies. IMO Uncas was the best and I took my last lap on it four times.

Also glad that that the bulk of the money was spent on the east side and the summit and not used to fulfill some misguided need to cover everything.


SkiRay

Hope it was worth it for the Alba's to drive out from Pico. They are one hell of a team.

I agree with Jeff, spring is fun because you know everyone on the hill.

I'll put more pics in a blog post this week.

Cornhead and I were there on Sat 3/26/16. Nice day and great skiing, soft snow and lots of sun.

Did anyone ski Rumor? We skied lies several times but not Rumor.

Some years have passed without me ever skiing Rumor.

Skied it this year a lot. More than most or even all other years. Three or four times on Saturday.

Ray's kids skied it without trepidation.  Nevada said she was scared but you couldn't tell by her turns.

Tried to crop in on my photo of Rumor for Sat. 3/26.
Looks steep and challenging to me

Yup , thats that's a Fact..
Tele turns are optional not mandatory.
