Breaking news!!!! Whiteface’s new Wilmington trail to open Thursday 12-8-09 at 1pm. It’s part of Whiteface’s new terrain Lookout Mountain. The trail is a blue intermediate trail that’s 2.5 miles. Yes 2.5 miles of new terrain and it’s easy to get to unlike Gore’s Burnt Ridge. Yes I know there is a “wormhole” to get to Burnt Ridge from Twister but what happens when Twister is closed for racing which it often is. Yep you hike a ridiculous amount… Back to Whiteface.
To get to the Wilmington trail take the Face Lift triple to Easy Way (Green trail all the way to the left when facing down the mountain. Yep you are at the Lookout Mountain Triple. Ride up and enjoy the new trail. Visual aids below. Step 1 – cut a hole in the box . . . LOL.

Considering Whiteface is getting a dump of snow till Friday evening. My mountain pick for the weekend is Whiteface. Gore and Jiminy Peak maybe a little dicey based on the sleet and rain I am seeing currently. More on this weeks winter storm…

Thank you. The thing I hate the most is trying to learn a mountain’s trail/lift system. Upstate snowboarder you are ok in my book.
