Never skied it, though it does look like a sick mountain. That said, this wouldn't be the first time I've heard complaints about too much grooming and not letting enough of their terrain bump up.


Even without skiing there though and just by looking at the mountain during summer......Okemo and Whiteface certainly don't belong in the same sentence.

Hey Mods --------------------troll Alert !!!

You got it Daddy. Dudes a hater, he's St. Jerry over at SKIADK. He's trying to get a raise on a Slides thread over there. He loves Gore and hates WF. He's done this here in the past. If memory serves me well I showed him for the ass he is and he went away for awhile. I just don't feel like doing it now. Seems childish and petty and I don’t want to act like what he is.

Deadhead I wish you or any bumper on this board where skiing the Mackenzies with me last weekend. They blew a ton of snow and it bumped up great. Unreal.

I was at Whiteface over the MLK weekend for 4 days, Friday-Monday.

It was my first time there, it really is a different mountain. Probably Okemo is the one mountain least resembling Whiteface among what I have skied.

I agree..Stowe and Sugarbush blow both mountains away

Fine with me if you think that, but didn't I finally get you to admit that you never skied WF? I know I remember a post where you didn't know that the Summit chair go to the actual summit of WF. I don't know how anyone could ski there and not know that.

Stick to what you’re good at, counting stuff. From a post you once made describing yourself maybe it would be a good idea if you start counting calories.

Uh oh. GSS comparing mountains, when he hasn't skied one of them. Remind you of a previous thread where you ripped me a new a-hole for suggesting that the Bush was better than Stowe, when I hadn't skied Stowe????

GSS... tisk tisk tisk. Bad boy. :wink:

They said that they increased snowmanking tremendously, and they made tons of snow over the 4 days I was there. Whiteface will definitely be more visible over the next few years.

The picture below shows 3 things:

1. The lift line to the far left is the Summit Quad, as you can plainly see it does not go to the top. GSS said it did in another thread. It would be like going to Stowe and not knowing their 4runner quad didn't go to it's summit. If you where there you would know.

2. The natural snow terrain in the picture is the Slides, there is nothing lift serviced that can compare to in in the East. Yeah I know it's usually only open in March and April.

3. GSS knows dick about WF

Now if people who've skied there don't like WF, fine, to each their own. It just pisses me off when internet experts start spouting off on something they know nothing about.

I can't believe I'm getting caught up in another one of these threads again. I need help.
