At Gore, we keep making every snow day better than the last. Here’s a look at our recent improvements, and what’s on the way!

NINE SIDES OF FOUR MOUNTAINS, & THEY ALL KEEP GETTING BETTER. Gore is committed to making steady improvements that always make our 38 miles and 422 acres of fun a better experience. Here’s a small sample of what you’ll find at Gore:

• An 8-passenger high-speed gondola, servicing every level of terrain, including the easier-rated “Ruby Run” Trail
• 8 individual mountain areas, each independently offering their own unique adventure
• The Northwoods Lodge by Lincoln Logs, a newly built Base Area facility that conveniently centralizes rentals, ticketing, childrens’ programs, daycare, meeting facilities, and group sales, and serves as a one-stop shop for families
• A snowmaking system linked to the endless water supply of the Hudson River, featuring 85 new tower guns installed over the last two seasons
• Four freestyle areas offering a progressive approach for the beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert
• 19 different glades providing extensive backcountry excitement
• A Base Lodge with over 7,500 square feet of newly renovated space
• ”The Rumor,” arguably the steepest trail in the East

BURNT RIDGE MOUNTAIN CONTINUES TO IMPROVE - Burnt Ridge Mountain, one of Gore’s newest peaks of development, is back for a best-ever third winter. The upcoming season will introduce a 3500’ glade called Barkeater! It will connect guests from the summit of Burnt Ridge Mountain to the Pipeline Bridge, from which skiers can either access the base of the Burnt Ridge Quad, or Little Gore Mountain trails to the North Creek Ski Bowl. Last season on Burnt Ridge, Gore added snowmaking to the monster Sagamore trail, cut the Eagle’s Nest trail, extended the Cirque Glades, and improved the grade of Cedars.

GORE MOUNTAIN’S INTERCONNECT WITH THE HISTORIC NORTH CREEK SKI BOWL – Gore Mountain will introduce an all-new pod of skiing and commemorate the historic event of its Interconnect with the North Creek Ski Bowl. Five trails offer terrain for all abilities, serviced by the new Hudson Chair:

• Peaceful Valley - A 1.2 mile cruiser with snowmaking. Ski the upper half and then head for Burnt Ridge via Eagle’s Nest, or run the lower half back to the Bowl. (1.18 miles)
• The Oak Ridge Trail - We hung onto the historic name and profile of this classic Ski Bowl trail, but added snowmaking! (.4 miles)
• Moxham - This trail will bring you back in time, to some of the earliest skiing in the Creek. Check out views of the Gore Region we haven't seen in over thirty years. (.54 miles)
• Half 'n' Half Glade - A mini-glade that lets you have The Oak Ridge Trail, Moxham, & Village Slopes, all from one ride on the Hudson Chair!
• 46er - Big and bad on the lift line. Hang on and dig in. (.7 miles)

These new trails will comprise approximately three miles and 19 acres of skiing. During 2009/2010, Gore Mountain opened Ski Bowl Lodge, offering new restrooms and seating, updated ticketing, and modernized foodservice. The half-pipe there was made wider, taller, and steeper. As in past seasons, Gore Mountain will continue to offer daytime and twilight skiing and riding on "Village Slopes", a terrain park, an excellent tubing park featuring 800’ lift-serviced chutes, and several family-oriented events at the Bowl.

SPRING, SUMMER, & FALL - Gore is celebrating its longest season ever of scenic gondola rides, mountain biking, and hiking! Enjoy much more biking terrain, improved BBQ offerings, and a busy schedule of educational mountain camps.

TERRAIN PARK UPDATES- We recently moved our terrain park to a widened “Wild Air”, and for 2011/2012 this freestyle area will offer the new “Chatterbox Glades.” This trail is easy for snowboarders to access from the Northwoods Gondola, and offers several new features for freestyle skiers and riders. Also this season, look for a new Skier/BoarderX course opening on “Lower Sleighride!”
