I'm not in the North country during Thanksgiving Weekend as Clarkson closes the dorms that weekend, so one cannot stay on campus. Since I will have just completed a 6 hour drive to get home and have to do it to get back, I probably won't have a trip to Belleyare in me (assuming they're open). My only hope to ski that weekend is if Gore is open on Sunday and has decent skiing (basically not like the same weekend last year). Regardless, I will not be at Whiteface that weekend.
It's weird how so many ski areas open Thanksgiving weekend because that weekend typically sucks for me being able to easily do a trip. I almost always have other commitments, except Sunday when the roads are jammed and you can't go further than the Catskills (which aren't always open then) if you want to have a hope of returning home at a reasonable hour.
I've lived in New York my entire life.
