Dark Side Liftline Photos

They blasted the majority of rocks out leaving a jagged, rough surface. The northeast requires terrain that requires about 40+ inches to be skiable due to limited seasonal snowfall and rain cycles. Gore averages about 120 inches a year with now regular rain and melt events which continually reduce and degrade the snow pack. Eastern skiers like tight terrain whereas western skiers are used to open bowl type skiing. If east coast got 300+ inches a year without rain events, we probably wouldn’t care what we skied on.

If you got 300+ a year those rocks would get buried anyways.

bummer, it sounds like it’s done then.

with a warming climate there’s going to be less and less of that sort of terrain available in the north east. At some point it will no longer be sustainable for ski areas to maintain terrain that on average gets open only a few days each season.

Can someone explain scrundy’s photo relative to what once was. Because as someone who only skied gore twice, his photo is making me unsettled.

Sorry man thought you wanted to see lift line photos. Not from Gore, probably have a photo of that run somewhere in my photos. You need to relax boy
 
ah Elk signs, fine example of piste off vs. off piste!
 
I heard today that there is some remediation of the liftline planned. Very excited to hear this. It will never be the same, but being able to actually ski it, will take some of the sting out of it.
