Goin' At Gore

The sun was blazing, the folks friendly and the trails rocked at Gore yesterday, on a very busy Sunday of the Presidents Day weekend holiday.

While the parking lots filled up early, the mountain was relatively un-crowded. Conditions did get a little icy late in the day.

We ate our lunch basking in the sun on the outside deck, just feet away from the open pit fire.

Meanwhle, some Tele racers took home skins, packs, poles, and other  backcountry gear from the Inside Edge of Queensbury in morning races.

Sixty six trails and 13 lifts will be open Monday. Will you be there?

Walkin' The Dogs

Who says taking the dogs for a walk has to be the same old, same old? Well, if you you are Julie Sawyers then it's just like skating on ice -- literally. Julie recently sent us this pic showing her and her dogs Gracie, Lily, Katie, and wrote us this note:

"Katie is a guest and they are all labs. No, their feet didn't freeze. The ice in Rockefeller Center couldn't have been smoother. The cool thing is that I could hear the lake rumbling under my feet and the ice was moaning and popping. The lake is alive in the dead of winter and in the dead of night!"
