(Three of which actually are glades.)

Seems like this is the trend this year.

Gore name should be changed to Gladed Gore.

This is good news. Do any hotels in Lake George offer shuttle service to Gore? That would be sweet, cause lodging options are limited in North Creek...

Interesting question. A lot of Lake George shuts down but not all. Glens Falls has a ton of hotels. Really easy drive to GF/LG from my location in NNJ. Its going to be interesting to see if the Big 3 pass effects Vermont visits at all. Access to Vermont from the west side has never been great. A good winter and the pass that looked hefty may be a better deal. Belle and Gore are plenty entertaining and while I've never hit it (condition wise), Whiteface definitely has the stuff to make me fall in love with it (think Slides). Vermont and the other Catskill areas may have to respond. (How about a Camelback-Hunter-Killington pass ??? I can dream:grin.

They should I know they have a train going to gore from train stops.

 

[twinplanx]

Yeah but doesn't the train go to NC & its limited lodging? IIRC North Creek lodging ain't cheap. Guess I could do a day trip if the train schedule allows...

I not sure about train schedule. I know I have stayed cheaply in Queensbury but it almost 45 minutes to Gore.

Round trip on the snow train from Saratoga Springs to North Creek was $30 last season(7-917a, 10-1215p to North Creek returning 1-315p, 5-715p to Saratoga Springs including shuttles to/from Gore).

Right now it costs about $120.00 rt from NY Penn to Saratoga Springs (Friday547-915p returning Sunday 647-1050p) in Jan. It takes about 4 hours.

You could stay in Saratoga Springs.

If you are travelling alone from NYC without equipment this might work. If you are taking your own equipment it becomes a difficult trip at best and a nightmare at worst. Getting around NYC with ski equipment sucks.

If you have another person to go with or plan on taking your own equipment rent a car and stay in North Creek. If NC is too expensive stay down in Glens Falls or Lake George.

Gore is a very easy drive from NYC. It is rarely crowded, even on Holidays and weekends. It is worth the trip.

Funny stuff
:grin:

People still haven't figured it out. They never will.

I have been skiing Gore since the early 1980s. There used to be lines back then.

 

[twinplanx]

I wish I would have stumbled upon Gore back then. I only happened upon the place after the old gondola was replaced must have been a cool place back then. I love talking to old timers about history, not just at Gore, but everywhere I go. Maybe that's just me... Lets face it the 'dacks will never be VT. Sometimes that's a good thing ;-)

ADK has its own vibe unique from VT and I really like it. If the high peaks region had as much snow as northern VT I'd spend so much more time skiing there. The terrain is much more impressive than the Green Mountains with the exception for one or two places in vt.

Never a big fan of Gore

Skied there before the old gondola, skied there with the old gondola, skied there with the new gondola.

Maybe I missed something.

Agree that the High Peaks region further north has some of the most impressive mountain scenery in the north east.

Back to these 4 new trails. The over-under for the number of days of them being open in any given season is 6.
Not as bad as the 3 days a year the over-hyped White (Ice) Face slides are open, but these are low elevation glades without snowmaking, at a mountain that gets under 200" (160"?) per year of natural, serviced by lifts that typically only run on weekends. More headline hype here than actual skiing.

Did you ski the woods? IMO, Gore is all about the tree skiing.

If I'm being honest, I probably wouldnt go to Gore until the woods are a go, but their glades are what makes the place shine.

When you see a storm coming thats when you head to gore.. Was there last year for the christmas storm an the 10" a couple days later..was absolutely unbelievable skiing.. At times we sunk about 3.5 feet in the powder stashes on barkeater. I cant wait for the first big storm. And whoever doesnt like gore that is fine by me lol
