Gore Mountain Conditions

I didn't really look carefully but Pine Knot seemed like it might not make next weekend.

How's Wood In looking? I didn't ski it.

I’ll take a wild guess that it is “labor costs“. It’s a pity, but understandable, that they’re shutting Burnt, because it is under-attended, given the traverse required to get there. I skied there both this Saturday and Sunday, and not only was there never a lift line, but I seldom saw even half the chairs occupied.
Pity, because Sag & Echo were lovely!
Shutting North Quad seems odd because those shaded trails face north-ish and could hold snow. That said, Sleeping Bear was closed because of open patches.
There is tons of snow in certain places at Gore, such as the mountains on Wild Air, and Topridge has impressive depth of artificial snowpack. Their challenge will be to keep snow on the windswept plains in front of Saddle Lodge, but they’ve built a sizable reservoir on Fairview.

Why not just give some folks the day off when the weather’s bad and nobody show’s up,
and then have them show up when it’s good ski weather and there’s good snow?

I live near, occasionally ski at and frequently bitch about (I know, you’re shocked) Jiminy Peak, AKA Little Killington, AKA Mount Fairbanks. But one thing Jiminy will do which Gore never does, is close the mountain for a day when the weather is horrendous. They have even done it on a Saturday. The stated purpose, which is true, is to save the snow, but it also saves a lot of personnel costs because no one is skiing in the pouring rain anyway.

Keep Gore Weird! Amen brother that's why it is so special. I commented today that we have more complainers that keep coming back. I skied this weekend and being I have to start a new job tomorrow...I am a weekend skier again. This weekend was awesome. Yesterday was better than today because of the sun. Both days Sagamore and Topridge delivered. Unfortunately the summit didn't warm enough today but that was ok. It was sad to say goodbye to Sagamore. Echo, we're not done with you yet...wink wink. Thank you to all who made this season special and groomers, do your magic, we love you. Gore is Gore and little by little we continue to improve, whether you feel that way or not. que signature...
P.S. I skied on Thursday and had a blast. Thanks for staying open in the pouring rain
 
I live nearby and ski Gore alot and pretty much agree with most of what everyone is saying here. The mountain has kept the fantasy of winter alive while people in the real world have moved on to spring. Wood In was fine at noon on Sunday and there's even some snow nearby on The Loop if a patch was required. The mountain, particularly Topridge, Hawkeye/Open Pit, and Hulla/Lower Darby/Santanoni/etc. are skiing well and skied like mid January most of this past week. Thanks to everyone at Gore for the great work and welcoming attitude!

All trails that are open today have the groomer symbol next to it except for Twister.
Might try for tomorrow.
