Gore Mountain Goals

Posted on by Harvey

I hadn’t skied every trail at Gore until 3 years ago. With new trails coming on the interconnect, once again, I can’t say I’ve skied all the groomers. Gore is still a big challenge for me. At 52…there’s a chance that I’ll might not get to ski all of Gore if you include all the tree shots.
