Gore Mountain Conditions

[Milo Maltbie]

I don’t think they can stay open until mid March unless they get more than one big storm. Except for the race course the whole mountain is really thin.

From tomorrow’s marketing report, another weekday with the interconnect open. Also -
Join us at 10am at the base of the Hudson Chair for a celebration of the completion of phase 1 of the North Creek Ski Bowl Project with the opening of the new lift. We’ll talk about the upgraded lift as well as the next steps in the revitalization of the ski bowl.
Followed by another chorus of Kumbaya.
The bad news is that Echo is closed for racing again, so enjoy your slog on Cedars if you want to try that new lift.

CMR and I skied Gore today and were actually pleasantly surprised. Hawkeye, Chatiemac, Topridge and Twister were pretty good, and Echo, Backwoods, and the whole ski bowl were open with decent conditions. I was told that Tahawus was great, but we never made it over there.
But the real surprise was to see snowmaking on the entire stretch of Showcase and Quicksilver, with large parts of Sunway as well, plus at least some of Lower Sleighride (we didn't ski it so I don't know how far it went). I have never seen so many guns operating at once. We always wondered if there was a capacity limit to what Gore can blow at one time because we only ever saw small areas, so this was new. It also makes me wonder what caused this new push after so many days and weeks of very little activity.
