Gore Mountain Conditions

That's why they need to enclose the cabin parking. The rails are already in place at the top. Indoor cabin storage is absolutely essential for proper gondola maintenance and operations, yet is omitted by so many resorts.

Apparently Whiteface's ability to get things going quicker after a storm is due to their storage shed. Not knocking Gore just sayin'

Probably not broken just frozen shut , from the recent rain then freeze.

Gondola was very delayed opening on Sunday due to every car needing to be dethawed one at a time. Crews did a good job of getting it going as quickly as possible.

The area is a bit herky-jerky though. Short steep, traverse, etc.

Greatest horizontal in the East.

Upper Darby looked like it was just about ready to go.

This is funny to me. I don't think Upper Darby is ever really ready.

XC is free with a DH ticket.

From the daily snow report: “…on trails including “Backwoods,” our new intermediate-rated run on Burnt Ridge…The 60-foot wide intermediate “Backwoods” trail will offer skiers and riders a more direct and convenient route to Little Gore and the North Creek Ski Bowl, and another fun option while enjoying those luxurious Burnt Ridge laps.”
Of course, we can’t even think about getting that area, which we’ve been hyping since spring, covered with snow and open, because first we have to blow about a bazillion tons of snow on Wild Air and Arena and then lock down the middle of the lower mountain for a month, which benefits exactly NONE of our customers.

Similar situation to the World Cup at Killington. It takes roughly 150 hours of snowmaking to finish that venue, and the terrain doesn't open to the public until after the event.

Gore is holding the freestyle events, and they've never attempted such elaborate park builds so early in the season before. They'd normally do a basic park build on Wild Air and Lower Sleighride by this point. Not a massive skier cross course the full length and width of Wild Air.
