[quote="Denison"]Greg,

you may concider weekend trip to both Gore/Whiteface instead of day trip to Gore only. I beleive It's an hour drive and multiday ticket is valid on both. Get a feel of skiing in Adirondacks. Also consider March Snowboard Cup weekend.

Denison/ the black eyed baby with the head wrap and gotee has a great idea,go for it ,do them both

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll probably just sit tight a bit. My plan was possibly for this Friday, but I'm just going to hit Hunter instead (2 hours). Plenty of season left. Again, it'll need to be a day trip for me so I want to be sure it's worth it, although it sounds like it is currently.


Hunter over Gore? ouch. Rumor and Lies are worth the drive.

Yeah yeah yeah. People just love to rag on Hunter. Rolling Eyes The place has legit black diamond terrain. Anyone is kidding themselves if they think otherwise.


I never said Hunter did not have legit diamond terrain. There is just no substitute for the Rumor, that's all! Wink

For the time being you will have to enjoy my avatar.

46er is right. Hunter has black diamond terrain ("legit" black diamond terrain is an iffy statement . . . I've skied the mountain at its toughest and it can't hold a candle to Gore, Whiteface, Stowe, Sugarbush, Sugarloaf, Jay, MRG, etc.).
It's no Gore.

Come up here and sample the wares . . . then talk to us about expert terrain . . .

Sounds like a good day to me . . . If we get a pretty good (12" or so) dump out of this storm, the trees will be open through mid-late March . . . Then Rumor and the top will be cranking until mid april . . . nice . . .
