What are the conditions at Gore & Whiteface?

I will be going to both Gore and Whiteface after Christmas to ski. Has
anyone skied at either place this season and if so what are the skiing
condition like. I have never skied at either place but have visited Lake
Placid this summer on a drive through. What are the least expensive lodging
in both areas, it will be for my son and myself we don't need anything fancy
just be clean and warm.

Any help would be appreciated, we both have season passes Gore and
Whiteface. They had the best season pass deal since American Ski Company
sold out that was a real deal 6 different ski resorts for a lower price many
had for just one ski area.

Thanks,
