Gore Mountain Conditions

[DomB]

That would be pretty awesome and really help build up NC but I wonder how much use it would really get? I guess we'll see how much use this new Ski Bowl lodge ends up getting.

I was sad when i heard about the lodge (at least as a 30m behemoth). I don't really care about the state spending money within reason that much (perhaps unpopular view), but the Ski bowl had such a cool vibe, and was clutch on crowded days with lots of open terrain. You could park within a hundred feet of the lift most days. If I remember correctly they are putting in a winter zipline or something which doesn't seem to fit.

Wonderful morning on the hill. Very good coverage considering. Spitting some. Snowing some. Terrain has expanded since last weekend.

North quad opened today. Top ridge slatted for tomorrow. Over all great conditions with hero snow. Come out and work out the body, feet and legs warming up dormant muscles for the season.

We arrived a couple hours ago. Some light showers, mostly snow for the last 45 mins, but not all frozen.

Skiing is good!

Topridge was primo. Sliceable.

Very impressed with the coverage and amount of open terrain today, Topridge was bumped up and challenging by middle of the day, a lot of fun. Tahawus was perfect, great way to warm the legs up for the season. Quicksilver was loads of fun but some bare spots came out by around 1pm. Overall great first day and it's only November! Kudos to the crews who did an amazing job at getting the mountain open.

Huuuge shutout to the Mt Ops crew, as they have provided us with some amazing conditions for early season! All of the snowmaking upgrades over the last few years are coming to fruition to show the firepower that Gore has!!
It's amazing to see literally feet of snow on the trails

New Gore trail map is up. Here are the changes I noticed:

Backwoods is the new Burnt Ridge trail, which we already knew. It's entrance is below Barkeater, but it crosses the glade once.

Upper Sleighride and 2B are now terrain parks. Upper Sleighride hasn't seen snowmaking in years, so this will mark a return to it being prioritized.

The short connector trail, Showoff, has been erased from the map, though I think that happened last year.
