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

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 ventListen to the wind, It'll tell you things

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

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?
