I have only skied that trail three times. It is one heck of a long trail. 1400 vert and lots of neat features. Going to be a premier trail overnight. I dont think AS will like it. Its to long for old fat crabs.HAHA

Those of us with Greek Peak seasons passes get to ski Whiteface at 50% off. (Gore at 10% off).

Re: Snowmaking on Hoyt's High

This is really great news. It will spread advanced skiers out over more of the mountain and lead to better conditions everywhere. Hoyts is a great black trail that is like older trails in that its turny with lots to varying fall lines and pitches.

Did Bruce say if they plan to clear up all the rock and wood scattered on Hoyts? If they don't it will take way more snow blown on it to open it.

Coach - I missed this when you posted it. Cleaning up debris on Hoyt's isn't simple - it's hard to get heavy equipment up to the blasting areas. Much has been cleaned up "by hand." But there is more blasting to be done.

The company installing the pipes have stated it is there hardest project to date. They are getting it done though. WF also bought a new winch cat to groom hoyts. The Cat has 3,000 foot of cable. Hoyts is 4600 feet. Its going to be interesting up there. It may be the longest expert run in the east.
