The truth is that Gore always opens with what is essentially 1 or 2 trails, regardless of how favorable snowmaking temperatures have been.

Wild Air will likely be open Thanksgiving weekend and it will be icy, crowded, rocky, and dangerous.

The best we can hope for is that Cloud and Hawkeye will be open by mid-December, which they usually are.

So stop your crying and wining because this is how it is every year. Don't get your hopes up for anything more becuase you will only be disappointed.

Sorry to sound negative, but as they say, "it is what it is."

If you want more trails, go to Vermont.

True. I am guilty of whining, and I see where you are coming from.

As for VT, I don't wanna, but you can get cheap gas there

That being said, you can still make a good day of it. (just don't be expecting to ski more than 2 trails).

Get there for first lift and ski until about 10:30 or until it gets too crowded. And then, because it won't likely bee too frigid, you can still get a nice long run (jogging that is, not ski run) in. So, good cross training.

Then enjoy a beer or three at the new bar in town.

Life could be far worse.

or just go to WF

Bear and Gore look pretty white. Wonder what they will actually open this weekend?

Keep your fingers crossed that the r word won't hit this week. Unfortunately I won't be there for the opening. Hope to make it up in early December though.

The fat lady hasn't sung on Thurs nite yet.

I think I will hit up WF on saturday and gore sunday morning if i hear some good news.

It does look cold this weknd with lake effect snow possible however its too early for specifics.

it sounds like ruby run might be open. if you look at the pictures, one of them says ruby run is blaketed and ready to open.

i dont think anyone here cares about ruby run

hey, for the beginning of the yr, everything counts. it will split everyone up so there isnt a ton of ppl on topridge.

I saw that on the website as well... It makes no sense- Ruby doesn't feed out to anywhere?

Lol take ruby to ski down to the adk triple, download from there then walk over to the gondi and take that back up.

it might go to somewhere. possibly wild air, but i dout it. i guess we'll see what happens.

Ruby to sunway to 3b will be one run and TopRidge will be the other

Ruby to Sunway to Quicksilver to Jamboree is the path... and Top Ridge.. have heard top ridge is buried well
