Anybody hear when they plan on starting to blow snow?

Anyone going to mount snow tomorrow?

The temps have been great. Gore could have had a great start to snowmaking throughout the whole last WEEK. Looks like we'll have another topridge opening day Rolling Eyes

its rediculous, every year they state they have made snowmaking improvements. Doesn't do much good if you aren't blowing snow when its cold.

"IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SNOW...AND THE CORDUROY!
We hope we don't sound redundant, but once again...we'll be making more snow than last season! Major snowmaking upgrades including three new pumps will increase capacity and efficiency, while opening more terrain for you earlier in the season.

In addition, another new groomer (the fourth in just three seasons) will offer an even stronger fleet for maintaining the mountain's superior conditions."

I would like to know what kind of upgrades besides the pumps, 4 new guns? A few new hoses???? Did they polish the valves?

It sucks always bashing, but when nothing great is happening its hard not to. For what we pay for our passes or tickets I think that we should be getting MORE GORE.

Sorry but I just need to vent

Lbtch-

Venting is good, but always remember that Whiteface is just another thirty minutes away with better conditions, better snow, and much better terrain.

NPN- I'm going to get up there more this year. Hopefully i'll be there for opening day.

It's gotta be more than 30 more minutes, no? I'll check mapquest.

I've been doing this for well over ten years now. Brunswick to Gore one hour, and thirty-five minutes.

Brunswick to Whiteface ( via Jay, not Placid ) two hours, and five minutes.

Brunswick to Toga exactly thirty to the Olde Saratoga Brewery.

Whiteface to Lake Placid Pub & Brewery, who knows, depends on the day, and how many sitings along the way.

Need I say more?

We could spam em. Everyone copy the verbiage from the site into the suggestions box. Probably won't help but might be fun?

For me...Gore is 10 mins and WF is probably and hour and 20.

They're "really busy with other things" and haven't found the time to start blowing yet.

So sad. Hope the Lincoln Logs Lodge kicks all sorts of a**.

Sure is.
It can't handle the truth.

YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!




I e-mailed info@goremountain and bitched.

P.S. the "reason" they're not blowing snow is because of the unfinished lodge construction, as expected. Lots of delays have held it up, and they want the lodge done and ready on the open. Rentals, ticket sales, and other services are taking place there...I guess Bulmer was head of this project and it did not run smoothly.

I had a suggestion go through last night. (?)

Come on. Everyone KNOWS construction is never done on time - you can't hold up the mountain.

The website promises the mountain will open on 11/23 WEATHER permitting, not construction permitting.

I guess NPN wins. I think my pass works at WF right?
