theprogram4 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 As someone with no experience in the Daks, how do whiteface and gore compare to Vermont? Quote

It has the most vertical on the east coast and is not crowded. Plus it's far north so I assume it gets great pow often On top of that, it's very reasonably priced. $97 a night for a hotel in $69 for a lift ticket. I doubt you can beat those prices (midweek) anywhere else For me, my priorities are excellent snow and no crowds. WF checks those buckets so as Ridge says, well worth the 6 hr drive. Also, I understand Gore's layout is more like Killington - a wider mountain with less vert. I'll likely ski there my last day. Edited January 19, 2021 by saltyant 1 1 Quote
trackbiker Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 I actually prefer Gore over Whiteface. It's a big mountain with some of the best glades in the east when there is natural snow. There are also a lot of pods that spread the crowds out. Not that there are usually any crowds to speak of there compared to Vermont. Not the best place for snowboarders as there are some traverses getting between some of the pods. 1 Quote

I never said it's flat out better than vermont. My skiing in vermont is limited to Stratton and Killington and yes I'd opt for WF over those 2 any day of the week. I've yet to ski Sugarbush, stowe, smuggs and jay so I'm certainly not the judge and the jury. You're gonna get me in trouble with Moe and some other folks on here so stop acting like I'm the foremost authority of all things east coast skiing dude when I'm far from it. Go to WF and form your own opinion and stop saying shit like "well ridge said this" or "ridge said that". My personal opinion...I don't like pods which is why I like WF over gore. I like having the option to ski the full 3k plus vert multiple different ways. That's my preference. Everyone's different. 2 1 Quote

trackbiker Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 Different strokes for different folks. I've had some great days at Whiteface and like skiing continuous vertical (And I like to ski the whole thing without stopping.) But find that it often lives up to it's name "Iceface" and find the conditions at Gore generally better than Whiteface. Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 Salty I skied whiteface in 1994 and 1997...not many places in the east that you can ski 3200+ vert in one continuous run. Killington would require XC skiing for that and mount Washington a lot of hiking. 1 1 Quote

It was fun doing Great Eastern for 3 miles when I was new but now I'm over that and want the big leagues (e.g. more vert). Someone else said that also. I should not have generalized VT when I grossly misrepresented RidgeRacers statement and for that I owe him reparations. Quote
