Predictions for opening day terrain

As Gore has promised to be open the day after Thanksgiving - And promoted it with a sweet graphic:

- what are your predictions for the amount of terrain they'll have open?


As for me, looking at the forecast for the next few days, I'm finding it hard to be optimistic about the amount of terrain. Based on no inside knowledge whatsoever, I predict that the double chair will be open to the midstation, the only trail open will be Jamboree, and the "terrain park elements" will consist of one rail and the training box and will be placed on the poma lift hill (but the poma won't be running).

Anything more than this, and I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Also, I noticed on the special webpage dedicated to opening day, that there will be $1 off Bud Light Drafts in the Lodge. Woohoo!!!!! :roll:

Didn't think of that because of the low elevation, but makes sense if they're trying to make it a 'party' scene. Unfortunately I'll be truckin' out to buffalo for the weekend so regardless I wont be there to see it.

Wonder how WF is doing
 
Sunday afternoon , aside from a couple very small patches, there was no snow at all anywhere at Gore. Guns were sitting in grass, not hooked up. No snow at all on Topridge. I couldn't see the top of the mountain due to the clouds, but historically the top has always opened after the lower runs, and I saw no snow on any of the lower runs. Given the forecast for continued moderate temperatures, I seriously doubt there will be any skiing this coming weekend at Gore.

lol. yea, but $1 off Bud Lights....what are they thinkin? do they want everyone to stay home? discounted weasel water is still weasel water, imo.

I'ld rather hang with Eminem than drink Bud Lights......" I like good _____ and I like good ______!"
 
Looking at weather forcast and current snowmaking progress I am saying nothing will be open for black Friday unfortunately from what it is looking like they can start to run the guns 24/7 on black Friday on I say the following weekend they will have something open.
 
Half-Pipe

The half pipe in the Ski Bowl will be open with premo conditions. Predicted coverage is 3-5" of loose packed straw.

:lol:

My guess is the patio, scenic gondola rides, and maybe a few cop cruizers for when a riot breaks out.

A bunch of people from my ski team were talking about how excited they are for Friday.. I laughed at them.
I still think I'm gonna head up with my sticks to meet up with some people I haven't seen since last season.
 
Me and my son will also be there.......

My predictions.


Gore will not be open. If I try to climb or hike with my son to ski whereever there is snow....100yds would be fine for him, they will shut us down.

I'm sad.....cause 2 weeks ago, it looked good...and the "blowing snow" and "Web cams" idea got me amped. I now offically blame that thread.
 
yeah, I'm not eager to be "loved back" by the mountain, just making snow when weather allows would be fine

Chuckle.

Not sure how they are going to get much done tonight. NWS has lows at the summit around 28 degrees. I'm seeing readings in the upper 30s right now in town.

Did anyone get to the mountain Friday?
