Just like many resorts in the region, they’ve had a strong start to the ski season and terrain is expanding rapidly.

It was the kind of powder you just float through all the way back to the lift.

Between the wind, the extreme cold high up, the ice and, also, the random pockets of great snow, it was a cocktail of conditions.

It seems to snow all of the time now in northern New York. What a pattern and what a start to the ski season!

When was the last day that conditions weren’t good? It feels like it’s been a long time.

Today was the first real cold day of my season. However, this is winter, after all, and a little cold won’t keep me from the mountain.

Yesterday, I’d said I wasn’t sure where I'd be skiing today. In the end, I found myself pulling into the parking lot of a surprising choice.

Today, I was joined by none other than the world-renowned Pro Skier Darren White.

I was not expecting today to be as good as it was.

The strong start to the season continued today at Whiteface with the opening of Upper Northway.
