Cool! How is Empire still closed after 30" of snow and 220" on the season? It's crazy that any normal (i.e., not trails like the Slides), natural snow trails are still closed at this point.
The wind was blowing up empire yesterday at 60mph. I skied it and it was not great. Jumped into to the woods at the lft hand turn. If it were my hill it would be open but thems the breaks. When the trails are closed it is usually for a reason. Everytime I poached this year I got done and said YUP it was closed for a reason.

Thanks. It's been years since I've skied Whiteface, but seems like they aren't liberal enough in opening trails. While I've skied at Gore at lot less in recent years than the past, I found them to be like that. Stowe too. Sugarbush is great about opening obstacle courses where you have to follow the snow patches down the hill
Surprising Empire got so windblown though given how narrow it is. Generally narrow trails hold snow better. Fun trail the one time I skied it. I can imagine the woods around it being great though (never been in those).

That math in that link isnt accurate, if you click on the "snow history", you notice they double-counted a bunch of places (i.e. they say Whiteface got 26 inches of snow, 2 days in a row)

What are the chances of the slides being open March 26-27? Son is competing in a race so I will be checking as much out as I can. Any WF regulars want to play guide?

Camp : It really depends ON my back ---it's STILL sore as hell from last week's insanity --- had to pass up tomorrow's trip to Tremblant with the RED group dammit --- Just back from gym workout trying to get this sucker loosened up .
Mebbe just need to drink more
I don't really do the guide thing. I do have a fun time skiing and if you want make few runs that could be fun. First chair spins @ 830 I will be in a yellow jacket with a name tag Tim on it. Races usually start @ 1030. Can probably get 7 runs in by then. I boot up in the lodge so no worries.

There is plenty of snow in there. They opened up Sunday for a couple of hours. Depends on the temps. There is certainly a chance. Best thing to do is ski the Willie chair as soon as it opens. Head over to the summit chair around 11:00 and ski that for a while. you may get lucky and catch them open. Never eat lunch you will miss them.
At the end of the day if it is warm hit Lookout below. Its gets really good after the sun hits it all day.
