Gore Mtn 4/13 second hand report

I've spoken with Acid Christ a number of times today. he is at Gore and he is reporting decent conditions. Snow is a bit manky, but soft and skiable. They opened the glades and they've been tracked out pretty well already. I sent AC into Red Dog and Top Secret and he was mightily impressed with the "single track" type skiing in these young glades.

He has not spent much time at Gore previously and is very impressed with the quality of the trails. He particularly likes the more classic narrow, twisty, turny trails, like those on the north side.

Rumor has the best powder and was left ungroomed.

He left Ithaca at 5am and will be rolling in around 8pm or so. He'll be one tired pup. It is indeed possible to do Gore as a day trip from Ithaca...it's just a very long day.

If it dumps on sat/sun as they are expecting Gore will have prime coverage throughout the week...go earn some turns. We'll see if they run the lifts the weekend of the 21st.
 
Awesome Sharon. Thanks for the info. I thought the trees would be doable. It is funny to call that stuff "glades" huh.

Thurs would be the earliest I could hit it - sounds like it might be worth it.

Thanks again.

If Gore spins its lifts and the weather holds -- ie, anything but rain -- I might add further evidence to your contention that Gore is a do-able daytrip form Ithaca. Saturday would be my day. If the lifts are closed, see the "Sugarbush south" thread elsewhere on this forum.

Sheesh: I've already had my first dip in the Atlantic for the year, yet might get to ski again this season. Can't beat that.

Gore got 16" over the last 2 days, followed by an inch of that other stuff that falls in the summer.

Bring it on, cornboy.
 
Gore is closed all week. I'm sure it will set up into solid cement by next weekend. They'll groom it and it should be fine for the weekend.

Greek Peak got snow all day long. It was still snowing throughout the evening here near Ithaca in the hills. We got a ton of wet snow all day. Never saw that other stuff you talk about, though temps hovered around 32.
