Whiteface Mountain, NY: April 19, 2014

Here are the rest of my pictures from Saturday of Easter Weekend at Whiteface.  Sunday's will be in a separate report.

Saturday didn't look too good to start with r*in.


Splittin the clouds on Cloudsplitter.


Excelsior first run.


Upper Valley.


LWF Double was loading when we got to it on our second run, and it was snowing on the upper mountain.


Approach in fog.


Mountain Run.


Upper Thruway.


Draper's Drop.


The lower mountain was soft and the r*in stopped, so we got on the Facelift.


Easy Way.


Cloud formations.


Pretty rocks and fog.


More clouds.


And yet another cloud picture.


After lunch, Little Whiteface was out of the fog.


Gondola View.


Little Whiteface from the Facelift.


Slides from the Facelift.


By the afternoon, the clouds lifted even more.


Another awesome view.


Summit in clouds.  Unfortunately it didn't open Saturday.


Essex.


Approach in afternoon.


Approach view.


Victoria.


Sun was out later.


Facelift in the afternoon.


This is why I am so glad that the Little Whiteface Double was open, funky soupy snow at the base.


Deck party at end of day.

These photos will help me get through the summer...thanks very much and well done.

you mislabeled Northway as Essex.  Other than that nice pix.

 

great series..  We need to get to that mountain again next season....
