Whiteface is saying they got 10 inches in the past 24 hrs. Snowing lightly now in town... Supposed to be an inch here so hopefully more in the mountain. Tomorrow could be really good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowded but no reservation needed. They had a table opening up when we got there. Definitely busy in town...I saw a bunch of guys wearing team Switzerland jackets walking around. Seems like there are events going on somewhere... Assuming hockey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Nothing major in terms of new snow...a dusting for the most part. According to the trail map no lookout lift, summit is open but no cloudspin (yet) no empire on LWF (yet). Let's see how it shakes out. Hoping the winds are tame although it looks to be blowing hard from the room here in town. sun supposed to come out later this morning.

Assuming hockey CAN/AM challenge cup was this weekend and next weekend. Pretty big youth hockey tournament. Used to love going to it back when I was 12/13 and playing travel hockey.

Popular Post RidgeRacer Posted March 14, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 No gondola yet. Riding the face. Gondola line is too longe but there's no one at the facelift.

Plus the hotel breakfast was really filling. Upper cloud spin is roped off and for good reason. Need to ski a few hundred down skyward and then go right to cut across into lower cloud spin which is wonderful 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonked Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Glad you got to enjoy the snow after the storm. I was out skiing all Saturday and it was great. Pretty damn windy off the Gondola but it was excellent to ski on fresh snow. The snow was really piling up. I was hoping to get stuck in LP so we could ski again on Sunday and enjoy all that fresh snow that would hopefully cover whatever ice patches were still showing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My legs are screaming plowing through it. Not sure how much I got left in the tank tbh and yeah people are finding the spots now and icy patches are creeping through. Riding the gondi now.
