Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

I'm doing a week at whiteface in March.

 

Definitely go to Gore.  I really like Whiteface, but a week might be a bit much.

Definitely go to Gore. I really like Whiteface, but a week might be a bit much.

I went to Whiteface for the first time this year, and while it was fun and has some impressive views, I pretty much covered the whole mountain in a day. After a couple days I would have had my fill.

Should I do a week at Gore instead?

If you are doing the family thing, Lake Placid is going to give you more in the way of after ski stuff.  Lake placid is pretty cool.  There is very little around Gore.  Its kind of in the middle of no where.  lodging choices near Gore are pretty limited.  Depending on how many days you really plan to ski, i would ski whiteface, stay in lake placid your last ski day at Whiteface, drive to Gore the AM of your first ski day there, stay around Gore 1-2 nights, drive home.

I think that's a smart call Dan. Hit up both of them. You won't be disappointed. Gore also offers a little bit more intermediate terrain variety, but as he said, there is nothing to do in North Creek.

Thanks gentlemen.

People always seem to get a little tipsy opening day. I remember a few years ago at Blue when it was just the Vista chair. ILikeIceCream brought donuts and AngryHugo was pretty hilarious greeting others in the lot...wazup shawty boo...sup

Thanks for the Whiteface and Gore tips!!!!!

[Ride Delaware ?]

WF and Gore tips for you? Your never going to go to/go back to either place...

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Not for me silly for poconoOceanCity

 

I personally don't like tips I'm a stubborn mofo and figure things out myself.

Been Seeing alot about El Nino this year.  Whats it mean for us?  Who fucking knows, and people tend to leave out the awesomeness that is skiing in NEPA whenever talking about El Nino snowfall.  i dislike long range forecasts.  But, if you are bored and want something to read about how El Nino affected ski joints in the year they are comparing this years El Nino to, have at it.

Oh my.  looking at snowfall totals for 1997-1998 in Philadelphia, i sure hope we dont have a year like that.  

[Ride Delaware ?]

I read something that although El Niño usually isn't good news, there have been a couple years where strong El Ninos can bring a decent NE season depending on Pacific temps...

I heard its going to be below freezing when a dry origin hurricane comes up from the south.

Went camping in western MD this past weekend. Leaves are starting to change. Mostly yellows, but some reds starting.

I sort of wanna walk around with deadhead stickers and put them on Cadillac. I can start with my friend Stephs mom and move on from there.

If the temps drop, then we are only about 6 weeks away from Killington's avg opening the past 3-4 years. I'm going off memory, but I think I'm close

Just saw that Mount Washington observatory saw trace amounts of snow yesterday.
