We went to Gore today and the gondola opened late. We heard there is a rumor that the gondola will be opening at 9:00 AM from now on. Sure enough the snow report for tomorrow (12/7) says that the lifts will open at 9:00 AM. This is bad news for me because I ski early, leave early and go to work. I am really going to miss that ½ hour. Sure wish we were told about these changes for the worse before we committed to season passes.
