saltyant Posted January 21, 2021 Report Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) No Gore for me, WF for 3 days in a row it is. Gore's stupid website thing says the stupid tickets are sold out, or whatever, on the date I was gonna book. Completely absurd. Ain't even mad tho. I'm sure WF will be grate! Guess I'll have to ski Huntah the following day to avoid a 6 hr drive back home after skiing. Edited January 21, 2021 by saltyant Quote

RidgeRacer Posted January 21, 2021 Report Posted January 21, 2021 Even though I'm going in about a month I'm jelly. Since you're scoping out groomers be sure to ski Wilmington trail, parons, hoyts (if groomed), approach to mountain run, Essex etc. Skyward was the ladies downhill run in 1980 so I expect you to ski like an Olympian on it. Cloudspin was the mens run but its a natural snow trail now. If its open dont miss it. 1 Quote

I enjoy steep groomers or ungroomed trails with moguls if the snow is good. I also like glades if they arent too difficult. If they have flat parts when you have to skate a lot then count me out.

Take a gander at the slides to the right near the top of the Big Whiteface chair. I’ve seen people on it, but it is above my payscale. 1 Quote

Expand Wouldn't care about reservations if they were refundable, even if you get a limited number of cancellations. For instance, my Hunter reservation can be cancelled if I don't use it by 12 pm the day of. But the system Whiteface, Gore, and many other mountains use says all ticket sales are final. Of course it doesn't matter because like Mixilplix says, I have to do whatever the ski places make me do or else can't ski there. Addendum: checked WF's website and apparently you can contact customer service if you can't travel and they may work with you. Of course I still plan to go the days I booked, but you never know if something happens (e.g. car breaks, sick, blizzard so can't drive 6 hours, etc.) Edited January 27, 2021 by saltyant Quote

Expand The non-refundable reservations are to keep people from going in and reserving every possible weekend and holiday they can, and then not using said reservation. It sucks, but it’s life now. It happened at the one golf course I played at this summer and after the first 3 weeks of it they made you pay in full, non refundable, for your tee time in advance 1 Quote
