Gore Mountain Conditions

[not2brite]

The old start of Barkeater is gone, replaced by Backwoods. Barkeater starts a few yards down Backwoods, skiers left.

I've never been over to that side. I am not a glade skiier. What is the trail like back to the Burnt Ridge quad? Is it flat like Cedars on the other side, or is it actually skiable? I ask because I absolutely love Echo but its a total pain in the ass to get back to the lift to ski it again.

It's a pdf. I'm not sure how to export as a jpg.

Get a Mac. Preview can export to multiple file formats. Can you use this?

The Burnt Ridge pod has a few approved trails yet to be online.
From Gore’s UMP,

Approved trail 11-I could reduce pains in yer ass if it's built. YMMV.

Approved lift 14 looks good.

I have a mac. I just don't know how to do it.

Looking at that map I may need 2400px or bigger.

This is what I have done in the past:

Gore Mountain Trail Map, Vertical Drop, Stats and Profile

Our profile of the ski area in North Creek, NY.

nyskiblog.com

and that page links to this page:

North Creek Ski Bowl Trail Map, Vertical, Stats, Profile

Our profile of the ski area in North Creek, NY.

nyskiblog.com

Burnt Ridge is on both maps.

I think each map is going to have to be 2000px to be truly clear upon blowup.

Maybe that makes the big map 3000?

The new trail looks like it was butched in by someone other than the original artist.

This is cool, thanks for sharing. would love to see lift 14 made, even a nice long surface lift would make life much easier getting too BR. Hopefully skiing Sat, weather permitting. Looks like Sat may be salvaged, but Friday/Sunday not so much.

That dang thing appears to be approved 17 years ago and go from base of Gore to base of Ski Bowl.

Doesn’t look like there’s plans for a “mid station” for exiting at the BR lift base even though it comes pretty close in the sketches in the UMP.

A lot of us want a Gondy from downtown North Creek to Ski Bowl base to Gore Base. It works pretty well in Breckenridge.

It's a Vista map. Not based on a painting by James Neihues or Kevin Mastin. Vista is a digital approach to making a map of a ski resort. I don't like Vista maps.

what is vistamap

VistaMap is a comprehensive system for creating and maintaining trail maps , amusement facility maps and other leisure activity related guest wayfinding maps.

All 3 ORDA mountains used to have the old version of VistaMap. Gore switched to a newer version of VistaMap, while Whiteface and Belleayre now have Kevin Mastin paintings. VistaMap struggles with resorts having many aspects like Gore. It doesn't have the right perspective on them, and you end up with multiple trails that appear to go up.
