Gore Mountain Conditions

It's more art than science it seems.

I'm fascinated by how much thought and planning needs to go into snowmaking. It's more art than science it seems.

There’s a FB group named “snowmakers of the world unite”.
Has lots of cool pics and stories.
It’s a tough job.
Thank a snowmaker.

Coldest AE2 lift ride ever

I think this my coldest lift ride ever...anywhere. My boy was not impressed. We went into Saddle immediately before taking any runs which is a first!

We stayed on the Straightbrook all morning. Certainly one of the warmest lifts at Gore.

Funny you say that…I’ve definitely been there on colder days but this one was memorably painful. I almost never duck into the WH or Saddle even on the worst days, but had to take a minute on Saturday. The wind Sunday surprised me too. The sun barely helped lol. Perhaps I’m getting softer now that I’m over 40 lol

Always seems to be the case. Go to the upper mountain if you don’t want to freeze

I'll call you and raise with the old Killington double to the peak on a similar day, and it stops over the top of Cascade

A good thing bout Gore is there’s so many facets ya can figure out what’ll get ya outta most of the wind for the rides up. There’s almost always the dang gondola too.

It used to be both upper mountain lifts, but the new High Peaks chair is now a freezer.

or the Stowe single/double. Long, slow, windy, prone to multiple stops. They did have wool ponchos for you to wear. On those sub zero days you would wear 2 on your body and one wrapped around your head. Those chairs were so cold you might have hypothermia by the time you got to the top - even with the ponchos.
