Today was chilly in the am then warmed up to the teens...HEAT WAVE!!!!  yahoo!!  Today we chat with my cousin Zach who hails from Rochacha, NY  and my cousin Anne Marie hailing from Ithaca.  They had a blast!!!!  Zach just learned to ski last year and is doing quite well and Anne is having a great time picking up a new sport of snowboarding.  Really hanging with family and friends at the mountain is one of the very best parts of this sport.  Additionally I have a super awesome family!

Please note:  Wolf is designated as a black diamond as it will become a skier cross in its future.... and we did not have our headlamps for cross country ski excursion last night, mine were misplaced in Costa Rica and my cousin Anne's ran out of batteries.  Oh yes, super prepared, however I do have to say I am psyched we did the cross country skiing last night considering it was in the negatives.  It was such a great time!!!  Remember next year to attend the Fire and Spice event which supports the Lake Placid Center for the Arts. 

 Finally snowmaking is happening all over the mountain Mountain Run, Upper Parkway, Boreen, Easy Street, Round A bout, conditions are superb.   

Today began with a gorgeous inversion, then we had about a 1 hour issue with lifts, followed by a stunning remainder of the day.   I also give props to our lift maintenance department and our electricians for their baywatch efforts to get our lifts back online in a timely fashion.  We are fortunate at Whiteface to have a stellar team of people that put forth a tremendous effort to make sure we have a fun and safe time out on the trails. I also would like to thank our skiers and riders for your patience and for sticking with it today, you rock!

Hi to Roni from the Bronx, it is indeed all about the vert!!!! 

Please note:  i normally am off on Monday and Tuesday, I was supposed to head to NYC for some R&R however, I am too excited to ski tomorrow the conditions are just too good.  Therefore I will be doing a podcast tomorrow and will be on the hill.  I will report to you tomorrow night.

Have a good one!

Today we discuss our day, packed powder conditions, what was up with the gondola, and Super Sunday rocking in the Cloudpin Lounge with Lucid.  I also completely overuse the word awesome, the most ever i am sure as I tell you about my favorite sport of all time World Cup Freestyle Aerials.  I take a walk down memory lane and it was nice.  Seriously though, don't miss Freestyle WC Jan 21-24 this is by far my favorite weekend of the entire winter! 

 We also issue out huge props to our local Olympians....they rocked this weekend with amazing results. 

In conclusion I share some of my favorite websites for Olympic info.

Today is long, remember I am off on Mondays and Tuesdays to recharge my batteries.  I am heading to hang with my sista mountain Gore tomorrow so I will let you know how that goes. 

Have a good one!!!!

Happy New Years Eve!!!  Today was a beauty of a day.  I met some fantastic folks in the Gondola and skied some great runs with some special guest stars today.  Upper Wilderness opened and it was stunning fluffy moguls.  

 One of the best kept secrets of the ski undustry is thatno one skis or rides New Years Day.  Really you will own this mountain tomorrow morning.  Motivate yourself, make an awesome choice the first day of the new year.......roll out of bed and ski and ride!!!!  You will not regret it, tomorrow will be a top 10 day I am certaina of that!

Please be safe tonight!  If you are in Wilmington, McDougals and Steinhoffs are always some fantastic options!  And of course LP is always a blast. 

As my chiropracter always asks:  Are you amking good choices?  I like that question, it keeps me on my toes.
