Yeah I’d be there if they were going to run Straight Brook for some ungroomed. Lapping Gondi all day isn’t for me.

Sucks they won't open Straight Brook or Rumor.

I'm going fishing tomorrow. Will probably go to Gore on Sat just to say I skied one last day. I've lost interest in skiing anymore this season.

high peaks does access a lot, and you can prob poach hawkeye and chatimac, and you wont be stranded bc topridge is open. it all depends on poachability, which is a hard thing to gauge until you are there.

Agreed. Rumor an easy poach as well. Not pumped enough about going skiing to find out.

On another ORDA note Belleayre is reopening for tomorrow as well. Lift 7 only.

ya gore and whiteface are both $50 this weekend. totally reasonable. just waiting to see what is on offer before i decide. home > gore > warren > sugarbush > home is a pretty easy route. especially compared to last weeks home > jay > gorham > sugarloaf > gorham > loon > home.

Good for Bell to open! Despite the limited terrain. Hope they get enough takers to encourage doing the same in the future.

But I'm in the same boat as you. I'm mentally done with skiing this season. My mind had totally switched over to white water kayaking. I've just spent a couple hours marking all the dates I plan to go white water.

I feel SOOO conflicted for not going for one last day in Belleayre. So close, (physically, only 1 1/2 hr) yet so far (mentally)...

Where do you usually paddle? Ages ago I'd hit almost every Dryway release. Now I mostly paddle flatwater that's 20 feet from my back door. Lazy!
