The Unofficial Whiteface Thread

[AdironRider]

Alright predictions for the weekend. My bet is Mt run opens up next and then they might start up on the summit.

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

I have a thought, and no not my first one. To get this thread cookin, how about each of us try to get one of our friends at Whiteface to start posting here. If it takes off maybe Greg will set up a Whiteface thread.

I axed SOD to edit his title to Whiteface/Gore to bring more people in, like SB/MRG, but....ahh never mind.

What's wrong with that? That's a good trail that I don't think was even open last year. I'm looking forward to it for Sat.

Nuttin' wrong with it. I just never would have guessed that would open before Mtn Run or Essex so I'm not too sure from here on out.(Only, they gotta open essex before they start up top, doncha think?)

I like N-Way too. Very cool trail. And no, I don't think it opened at all last year.

For sure, they've already started blowing snow on it. I do think Paron's before long also. They've made a big deal out of getting the upper mt. open earlier and I thinl they will.

It wasn't opened at all last year. I don't even remember seeing tracks on it. As far as renaming the thread How do you do it? I'm sure I could look it up in the FAQ but that seems too easy :lol: Willy I didn't see you in the bar last Saturday (there was only a dozen of us @ 3pm) Will you be staying around long enough this week for a cold one? How's Ghost coming along? Can he get a boot on that foot yet?

I'm not adding Gore. Gore is a good mountain don't get me wrong. They are run by a GREAT organization. They have very good tree skiing and seem willing to open up anything under a lift deemed skiable to the public. I want this thread to promote Whiteface. I don't have any numbers but I bet Gore gets more visitors per year than Whiteface. I feel WF needs more talking up. Everyday driving to and from work (in Albany) I see Gore billboards and most of the ads on TV and radio around here (Albany area) are geared towards Gore. Like I said there's NOTHING wrong with Gore. I probably will ski it at least half a dozen times this year. I got want this thread to spread the word about Whiteface. That being said there's no reason Gore can't be mentioned in this thread or even have a thread of it's own.

SOD: Skied from about 9:30 to 2 on Saturday. Just got bored with the limited terrain. Should be much better this weekend. Ghost tells me he skied Sunday - I didn't see him but I wasn't there long.

N-way was skied last year. I'm quite sure :wink: . The tracks you guys didn't see were skiers' left from top to bottom. Had to stay light on the feet in some spots (from what I "heard" :wink: ) as it was boney but for one saturday or sunday it skied pretty good. (I "heard" :lol: )

This weekend SOD! :beer:

Forgive me for barging in on your chat, but I thought I'd spread some good news I received from Rod Morrill, fellow Whiteface Host, who skied W'face yesterday. Check out the quote he sent me via e-mail today:

BOY OH BOY, did you you miss a good day yesterday!! Upper northway was awesome, and lower was great too!! Had guns going top to bottom on mountain run, and also on essex. Probably will have them open for Sat. I hope. See ya on Saturday - Rod

Sounds like the weekend is looking up, don't ya think! Hope to see you there! :beer:

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

Yahoo-Skier 4 Life is in the house. Yeah baby. Come on Moderators give him the AZ first time poster welcome.

 

[freeheelwilly]

Can't wait

Can't wait til Saturday and some new terrain at the Face. Welcome skier4life. For those who don't know skier4life is an extremely accomplished skier and all around nice guy. His addition into this forum will be a very postive one especially to the Whiteface thread. See you on Saturday. :beer:

Wow! This place is buzzin' with Yellow Jackets. There goes the neighborhood. :wink:

Willy, get some of your crew to start posting. We have to get more WFers in here and I think Greg will consider putting up a site for Whiteface/Gore like he did for SB/MRG.

Seriously, can a www.dackskiing.com forum from Greg and Co be far behind at this point? Gore, WF, the new Big Tupper, backcountry reports from the High Peaks....what else?
