Whiteface = Okemo, but steeper

[SIKSKIER]

good one... We need to ride.. Deadheads think alike...

I've skied top to bottom at most place I go to out west.. But I only do it at the end of the day..

For me personaly - i find the bottom of most mountains pretty boring.. Like Jackson.. Or Kicking Horse.. Or Big Sky... Or Blackcomb... I could go on... Hell - even Bellayre bores me past the middle station...

Maybe I just got middle station issues...

Come to Cannon...ski the tram...not too much boring about the bottom of the tralis that lead back to the tram!Having said that,I hate the tram and never ride it.

Cannon's on the list..
I like the fact that people either love it or hate it... intrigues me...

I'm down with that... I can stand by what I represent... I love living in a ski town. You may think it's a blast but i wear it with honor..

Headed out right now to bring some people to the polls... Gotta push my ski town agenda..

Supporting growth in not just the mountain but also the town. Making sure that it's not unilateral and that everyone benefits.

Also want the empty buildings in town to become retail and restaurants - and either eminent domain them OR offer some incentive to sell or lower rent. Right now people just hold onto real estate for the loss.... Rents are too high - businesses can't afford it...

Need to make sure we defend ourselves from NYC too. We made some deals with them when they put sewers in town.. And they sometimes make it difficult to do new construction.

Another thing is the environement.. We need to protect our natural resources. makes sure the mountain works with the DEP to come up with good snowmaking pond decisions. where they don't do too much damage to the creek but can still sustain snowmaking.

I also support a bike path between all our villiages in the town of Hunter and even to Windham. A friend supported this in the "Community unity" party... But lost..

vote for me!

The bottom of JH is alot more than just the Hobacks, check a trail map. Beavertooth and Slalom are two fun finishing pitches on the other side when you do go to the bottom. Hobacks are great but from the main entrance off of RT they are nowhere near 3000vert.

The Hobacks are about 2500 vert...I like going down Cheyanne gully as well along with the North Woods and Riverton bowl is also a hoot..

Are the hamburgers at Whiteface as good as the hamburgers at Okemo??? I bet Whiteface doesn't have as many people from Connecticut..lol..:dunce:

Those are great runs... But I (!)personally(!) goto JH for the top half of the mountain..

When the day is done you have to find someway of skiing down.. :wink: I think this might be one of those threads where hijacking it might just be a good thing.

I totally agree. Of course the Hobacks/Lower Faces have mostly been closed when I've been there. But I still go for the top. I just couldn't let your comment slip by

I actually have skied with CPS and would value his opinion on terrain.

I am quite baffled why he did not respond to anyones comments but maybe he will.
