bluemt1988 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'm new to the forum. Was curious to see if anyone was going to whiteface from Jan 2-6. Looking to hike and ride the slides at whiteface. Heard it's fun when they get some decent snow up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK. Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I used to live up there... trust me slides wont open unless a very big dump on top of a stable snowpack or if its march and nice soft snow up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemt1988 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Really? Ya I'm worried about the trip. They haven't been getting much snow up there. Jackson Hole on the other hand out west can't stop getting feet of snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaldon Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 not only are the slides hit or miss but last time i checked in order to get past the ski patrol gate you needed a group of 3 and avygear(probe, shovel, but don't think they required a beacon).

Johnny Law Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 You can always access the slides through the state park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemt1988 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks for the info guys. With the weather patterns for the next two weeks i highly doubt i'll get into that terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 You can't go to WF expecting the slides to be open. You go to ski everything else. If they are open then you're in luck and normally that's later in the season. Â Have fun. Whiteface is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemt1988 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Does anyone think Look Out Mountain will be open by the beginning of Janurary? when does that open. those glades look really fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemt1988 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Ya I saw that. I really hope look out mountain is open by the beginning of Jan but hey ya can't get everything in life haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Ya I saw that. I really hope look out mountain is open by the beginning of Jan but hey ya can't get everything in life haha. Wilmington should be open. Sugar valley is hit or miss depending on conditions and snow fall. Lookout below (the jewel of lookout mt.) may or may not be depending on conditions. If you go right after a big dump you may be in luck. If its icy or hardpack I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemt1988 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks for the info! Will have to check this out. Rain in the forecast for next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
