Don't think you will be able to find an open mountain till almost early/mid December

Only open on weekends right now.
Not a whole lot of terrain. Really only one run. If you're going that far, might as well just head to Killington. It's only about 40 mins further.

Hunter is expected to open towards the end of the week, but who knows with them. All I know is they started blowing snow about two days ago.

Then Killington is definitely out too. Both are about 5.5 hrs from Roc according to Google. Gore is a little under 4.5 hrs. 225 miles. (assuming you live near Rochester since you ski Bristol)

As someone mentioned above, Hunter is supposed to open this weekend. Gore and Hunter are about the same distance from Roc.

Hopefully Gore will have more open by the weekend. I wish they were open Friday. Cold weather is on the way. Lets see how well these new High efficiency guns work.

Doublepost.

Should note.. if you're looking for park I think all Gore has setup is a flat box and shotgun rail. Also, two options for the first 1/3 of your run. Ruby Run to Sunway or Foxlair to Sunway. Foxlair has some fun stuff for like 15 feet up top.
