Favorite trail.... or part of trail in this case.... the bottom section of Hawkeye.... when the snow is just right and the bumps forming --- it is perfect ---------------- also at the end of the day that last run down sunway.... top to bottom---- no stops ....just mellow....nice views .... a few beginners to use as "gates" and the day ends....Ahhhhhh

Or the first run of the day down sunway before the beginners come out flying like a downhill racer...

that too.... although the snow can be a bit firm early... that is a fun run just to let it out top to botton....

I feel more like a down hill racer on Twister.... because of the changes in pitch.... coming into the steeper pitches with some speed is a rush

BEST LIFTY BY FAR:

BAD a** CLIFF.

the bitchy ladies referred to before were not having a good day and cliff helped me out. it was hilarious. plus he has the most badass beard of anyone i know.

when its wicked cold the gondi fer sure ,when its nice out and if its ever running the ole summit chair ridding into the sun on a nice day nothing better. still dont no why it dosnt go to the top anymore. not to sure if many people know this but it dosnt run much midweek they turn it on for the weekend needles. alot of the winter the north chair wont run midweek either . t

Anyone happen to see the Darksiders picture in the glens falls post?

yo nerdle i saw the big guy looked really cool

[/quote] Dude, I'd expect the same from you as I'm giving you. If I spend a 45-50 days a year up at Da Face, I'd probably be a able to find a few spots, or a few people to show me some spots. The reason I know the spots at Gore is because I've been skiing there since I was 6. If you want to meet up with me on the hill, I'd even be willing to show you a couple. . . I'm just not down with posting that $hit on the internet.

Like I said, I'm not trying to be a dick, but I actually am worried about "some touron" from NJ coming up and getting stuck in one of the tree lines. If you're not worried about that, then by all means post the entire whiteface arsenal of stashes.[/quote]

I might take you up on that if I get to Gore. I didn't go at all last year I like hitting up Gore after a big snow fall.

one of my faves is getting there early on a busy week or weekend and they try to park you fartest away from the lodge, i allways thought get there early ,get a good spot. and i just love when the lodge is so crowded you have to change outside. man weekenders are just RUDE.

i love how they try to fill up one side of the lot before the other on a busy day, i usually just blow past the parking directors and grab myself a 4th or 5th row spot on the other side of the lot.. i dont know why anyone would listen to them... why park a mile away when you dont have to.

good call. plus im sure everybody has their "secret stash" of close but half legal parking spots. and no im not sharing.

haha, its hard for me to get those half legal spots, i drive an extended cab long bed F-150... it sticks out like 5 feet beyond normal spots...
