I found a solution to the sideways picture problem. Go to edit, rotate it a full 360 degrees, crop a little off the edges and then post it

Worked!  Thank you!  And this was our (lack of) view from Top Station

What a difference a few days make.  Saturday and Sunday were the best views I've ever had from the top of Whiteface.  The long distance intricate details of Lake Champlain and Mount Mansfield etc... I could make out were amazing.

Hey guys - I hate to use the 'c' word, but any sense on general closing dates for Whiteface and Gore?  Looks like I'll be changing jobs, and I now have a SKI3 pass, so if I can swing it, I am going to pop into Lake P or North Creek (or both) for a few days sometime between April 1 and April 18 during the gap . . . .  I am assuming the snow should be good (if it is there then).  Thanks!  Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

Probably 7 days a week through second weekend then if snow is good friday sat sun the following week.  

Gore is going to try and make it to Easter.

Where did our 4 feet of new snow go?  Rocks coming thru everywhere especially on LWF
Must of been windy as hell at some point recently

Thanks guys.... I may be cutting it close

After going over to Sugarbush to burn some free vouchers this past Thursday (3" of fresh on top of bulletproof moguls) we headed over to LP for a little BC tour Friday morning, which included some pretty descent snowfall (Whiteface reported 5" later that afternoon) followed by a stop at the mountain around noon. Sweet conditions to be found:


Upper Sky

Lower Sky

Mt. Run pod


Saturday featured snow that must have been groomed, then saw all forms of precip, colder than expected temps, and some of the thickest fog I've skied in a long time.  We still had fun, but the skiing was tough, especially for the intermediates in our group.

Sunday, full sun in the morning, actually felt like a spring ski day,  Great snow that softened up, perfect temps.  Couldn't have been any better, and was amazing considering what Saturday was like.  Clouds rolled in later in the day



All in all great weekend, had a big group up with me...some first time Whiteface skiers....reported that it was their favorite mountain they have been to yet.

Unfortunately on Saturday they groomed before things refroze so it locked up really firm.  During my first run I knew I was ski to 11:30 and hit LPBP for lunch followed by a nap.

Sunday was better

Glad things improved Sunday.  In the Gore thread Pom made it sound like hell had frozen over and Lucifer made you ski it with his last two hot pokers in your eyes to exact his revenge!  Headed up this weekend, looking early like it could have a little new snow and then nice spring temps.

Looking good down low...

Probably 5-6" of fresh.  Getting a bit heavy.  Bumping up in high traffic areas.  Pretty good skiing overall.

Top 5 day.
