Saw this on the Facebook page. Appears Lookout wasn't the only lift that didn't open or opened late.
"No Gondola loading until 9:15, no Freeway Chair, no Mountain Run Lift, No Wilmington Chair. Summit lift didn't open until well after 9:00 and then was shut down by 9;15. Reason given, the snowmaking guns on Lower Skyward were causing wet snow to stick to the lift riders skis, making them so sticky they couldn't ski off the chair at the summit. Hello! That was the same problem on Tuesday and Wednesday, yet you kept the guns going. Heck of a way to run a ski area. Whiteface and ORDA Management, spend less time patting yourselves on the back and more time getting things right. If you want to promote Whiteface and Lake Placid as "World Class" operate as such."
