Wouldn’t it be too windy, like Mt Washington?

Actually, the Adirondacks are the fastest growing mountain range

actually they did collide quite powerfully, however years of erosion have made them the size they are now. the appalachian mountains are something like 480 million years old, while the rockies are 80 million years old. that is a lot more time to erode, and the reason they are so much smaller today. at the time of their formation though, they were as high as the himalayas.

Tim Horan Adirondacks aren’t part of the appalacians and are actually growing.

Gotta get it while ya can!

Late march / early april is when the best chance of them being open. I always expected it to be open earlier in the year but then i noticed the trend and got it multiple years in a row. I guess it’s just a lot safer once everything is wet and slushy. This looks more like people have just gone in earlier on in the year and got extremely lucky from the looks of all that fresh powder, that and ever since that added the new part of the mountain off to the right side a few years ago it is now easier then ever to sneak into the slides from that side that was once inaccessible, not to mention you now finally have access to slide 5 which was previously just about totally inaccessible and you almost would never see tracks on it before the newest addition off to the right side of the mountain. Also, in my opinion slide 4 is the best and has the most character, it also has one of the biggest drops on it where you can tide off a giant boulder the is between 10 and 15 feet high, love it!!!! : )

@@johannajacinto3020 hey, thanks for the tips, I’m confused about the numbering of the slides. Which is slide 4 and which is slide 5

⁠@@samdigiambattista9197slides are numbered left to right from the lift

Agreed, been going there every year in February for years and have never seen them open. Lol

Sometimes you just have to duck the ropes. Sometimes that can go bad as there is often a reason the rope is there.

Love it there, went today and so many days in a row!

thank you for helping and the kind words!

The Face delivered!

Send it

@@griffinbordson5473 I blew out my knee shortly after posting that comment 😆. ACL looked like sauerkraut and tapioca pudding! So uh, no slides for me.

but you went on it right

@@jacksongoodwin802 Nah. Football game.

@@hellawaits77NY Many of my friends have blown out their ACL's and all are skiing very strong now. They all ski at a very high level, trees, bumps, steeps etc. You will make a comeback. They are all still ripping well into their late 50s. Take care.

That is crazy, first time I ever skied was at Whiteface because we were in Lake Placid for the North American Long Track Championships 30 years ago. Honestly, skiing felt a lot like skating with really long skates, especially at Whiteface because the surface is so similar... I would say that first skiing experience led almost directly to me quitting speedskating. Mountains were a lot more interesting than ovals to me.

Thank you!

Heading there on the 12

Agreed. Jay peak looks like that everyday. Just a matter of the summit lift being open. Closes for 2mph winds.

@@chrisright2602 Go to Stowe as well. Here now and we got dumped

SCOTTY!! Lets hit Jay this year!

Probably yearly. But not all years!

I don’t know much but prob a lot of snow storms and deep snow

BigPlayBoy445 fairly steep, and backwoods. Requires avalanche gear and at least one partner. I’ve never done it either, but u can see it off to the right coming up the lift that brings u to the peak.

Yeah, definitely no joke. Bring avy gear, knowledge, and a group

Worth it though!

C'mon we wouldn't poach and then make a KZfaq video of it...

Ski The East I mean I went there last year in late March and they got 2 feet of snow 2 days prior and. The weather was literally the same as this day and they were closed

Ski The East I don’t know it could’ve been due to avalanche danger or something

He said feb at the beginning

The are Rock Slides, generally happen on steep mountains all over the place but they stick out more as features in the Northeast due to the limited alpine zone (i.e. more tree line and below areas)

rock/landslide clear cuts a path straight down the mountain... enter copious amounts of snow and enjoy the best ride of your life...

Many places on the East coast get good snow. Jay Peak averages 350 and on a good year gets over 500. Stowe and Sugarbush get big snow. Killington averages 250 and often has great snow. You need to watch the weather and just go.

whiteface mountain is completely granite, but has grown moss over the top to support life, every once in a while the moss gets too waterlogged and releases. therefore you get a slide.
