bear lodge is nice...doesn't get crazy crowded like the main lodge. helps that it's out of the way in that beginners-only area.

Yeah, it was really nice there, not crowded and the tables are very spread out. I can't stand where there are people on top of each other like the lodges at Steamboat last year. I'll definitely be taking my breaks there the whole trip.

Didnt seem to be freezing rain but wow did my goggles ice up everytime I ascended to the summit. It was frustrating having to stop and wipe them off multiple times down a run, other wise I couldn't see Jack. A few times I just moved them up onto my helmet so I could frick'in see. They never iced up on the lower half of the mountain 

Did you have a favorite run?  What’s the plan for tonight?

Today started out shitty for the first hour or so and then improved significantly. It even started to shower some fresh perder later in the day. Couldnt have asked for better conditions. Terrain was rad too. Maybe later I'll post about some trails I enjoyed but now time for SUJOPO

Black diamonds off Little Whiteface midway station were pretty rad. Hope visibility is better tomorrow at the summit so I can see where I'm going and enjoy the runs more

oh, make sure to check out the cottage (down by mirror lake inn) for dinner. cozy little place with bangin' food. also, smoke signals and lake placid pub & brewery are a must.

I'm at the Great Adirondack Brewing Company and ordered some scallops. Will likely have dinner at one of these places tomorrow evening

You sure love seafood...sometime you and Eaf can go on a ski trip to Maine for really good seafood.  Wow Salty you’re a baller.  I would have got the build you own burger or prime rib.

Speaking of fish, wegmwns store brand frozen fish sticks are freaking delicious, only $2.99 for about 20, and my box came with 25.  Was only gonna eat half the box but they were good so had the whole thing

Damn 25 fish sticks. Wow just wow. Any dipping sauce?  I have cock sauce

Which lift has the 17 minute ride?

The website below says Little Whiteface double is a 17 minute ride, but it didnt feel like 17 minutes. Anyway hopefully they open the gondola tomorrow since it's only around 8 minutes bottom to top

His car isn’t worth multi K so if that happened he’d just buy another $11,000 slightly used Sonic

Correct. I would buy another vehicle, but likely an SUV this time - better survivability in an accident, more storage space for gear, and more fun to drive

I wonder if the gondola is only open on weekends.  Salty did you do any nonstop runs from the summit to the base?

Did some top to bottom runs but had to keep stopping to scrape ice off my goggles. Hopefully tomorrow I can do nonstop runs and no ice!

Hope not, since they used wind as the reason for yesterday and today. If it only ran weekends don't think they would blame the wind. Though it wasnt even that windy at the summit 🤷🏻‍♂️

I like riding gondolas and have taken them midweek at Killington, Stowe, Winter Park and Steamboat. Hoping to ride tomorrow
