Mid-Atlantic 2020-2021 Ski New York

[ADKmel]

Same distance as Windham from me, 2 1/2 hours. Looks good for late season turns if you got that much snow pack.

we ski well into april then it becomes private for the brats, we've even taken 4 wheelers up and skied top to bottom no bare spots on Mothers Day!!

I heard about Royal Mountain for the first time from my Taos Ski Week instructor Scott Lacek. He said his dad was ski patrol there and he grew up ski racing there. Read elsewhere in the forum that you @ADKmel and him knew each other way back when?

YES! We were on Ski Team together in High school and we were neighbors growing up our backyards bordered each other. My Dad was 10th Mt and started The Royal Mt Ski Patrol & Royal Mt w/ Scott's Dad, We are very lucky to have had SKI DADS! I've never had the chance to bump into him when I was at Taos!

Small world. I had Scott for a ski week 20 yrs ago.

Sounds like NY deserves it own thread (or banner, or whatever). As it stands, ski resorts near Buffalo NY are now in the same region as Ober, in Gatlinburg, TN.

 

[Keith Moon]

Just my opinion, but New York can be divided into three general areas-Adirondacks, Catskills and Central/Western NY with each drawing from different geographic locations. @JohnL is right, it doesn't quite fit with either Mid-Atlantic or New England, but for Pugski forum purposes, I guess it makes sense to put it in Mid-Atlantic (unless we can get our own forum!)

Where would you put a place like Titus? In the Ads?

 

[James]

Whiteface, Gore, West, Hunter, Windham, Belleayre, Plattekill, Thunder Ridge, Tuxedo?
Pretty much fit in the Northeast.

I think NY actually has more ski areas than any other state.

Yes I think We Do! New York features 43 ski areas, more than any other state in the US. 10 ski areas would be considered destination resorts. Top destinations include Whiteface, Gore Mountain, Windham, Hunter Mountain and Belleayre.

Yes.

Regarding destination resorts, for better or worse, you can't leave out Ellicottville with Holiday Valley and Holimont. Yes, they're short, but attract a big crowd from Buffalo, Cleveland and Ontario.Good facilities, lots of on hill development and a cool village. Not really worth the drive from Rochester more than once a year-I'll stick with Bristol's 1200' vs their 6-700', but they do a lot with very modest vertical.

Last Year 11/15- Gore and Whiteface were open, I'm Jonesing.. Finally Night temps this week are good for snowmaking, hope they turn the guns on.

Great thread...hopefully we can keep this thread alive this winter.....the title is 2020....if u ask to add 2020-2021 to it....we can just continue to add to it instead of having to start a new one?

You don't even need to ask... you just need to suggest possibly asking...

Woo hoo Whiteface opens FRIDAY the 27th!

With this seasons travel restrictions if I do end up skiing it will probably be at Whiteface and/or Gore. I haven't been to Whiteface in about 2 decades and I've never been to Gore. Both are too far from me for a day trip but would be perfect for a weekend.

Give me a shout- doubt I'm leaving NY this winter either. I'll give you a tour if you want- I ski weekends at my home bump Royal Mountain, small but lots of fun.. I usually am at Gore midweek. Whiteface is only about 1hr north of Gore- so if you can drive up ski gore then go up to Whiteface
Gore not open yet but do have the guns on.

Check out the Ski3 Frequent skier card via ORDA/Gore/Whiteface/Bellayare 1st day free then % off midweek/weekends and 6th day free. pretty good deal. still on sale I think

BUMMER- Whiteface Changed the opening day until DEC 4th

 

[Jersey Skier]

Hunter plans on reopening tomorrow. Not looking too good at the moment. Could be why Vail isn't broadcasting this.

 

[GB_Ski]

Belleayre is scheduled to open on Dec 9th. Final decision is tomorrow. Season pass and frequent skier cards holders only. From the webcam, I have no idea what trail could possibly be open.

Looks OK to me now (10 hours later) given that the guns are going right now (and never having been there - so not sure exactly what I'm looking at).. But I've got a mid-Atlantic mindset too, where anything white at this point is great.
