Someday, Gore will get enough RFID gates to match the number of riders per chair...maybe. Instead of 1& 1/2 functioning gates on a 4 person chair like Burnt Ridge. Or just spend that money on a zipline or whatever.
Other than that, it was an absolutely fantastic day! WOW!

Today was awesome. I did mostly low angle stuff but I got my wife on Echo happily, which is pretty steep for her. My kids dragged me through Forever Wild, and when they were in their 6 week, my wife was game for exploring pipeline to peaceful valley to eagle's nest.
Packed powder everywhere I skied.
Tomorrow I plan to hit 46 er with my son and get him over his Gore 'double black'. 46 er looks legit. That one headwall looks like something like the steep pitch of hawkeye or almost like parts of Lies (of course I have never gone down 46'er so that's perspective for you).
Ski bowl crew - 1 -what time do I need to get onto Hudson line to have a decently early run down 46'er? I was planning to arrive at the hill at 830? 2 - Did Hudson actually start spinning close to 830?
All my best.

echo what everyone said - great day. Ski bowl and burnt ridge were my faves, although the line at BR ballooned when the Gondi went down but kudos to gore for getting it back up quickly. 46er was a great workout- old fashioned clump-bumps all the way. Also enjoyed two early runs on lies - someone I rode with said they liked lies except for ‘a little ice’ and I assured them this was NUTHIN.
Great to hear 3 16 yr olds in my group talking about how much they liked natural snow, which they are sadly relatively unfamiliar with in these quantities.

Wondering what time Hudson spins as well, plan on getting to the bowl around 815

Nice. What a day! We were probably a few behind you Harv on line for the 46er. We lapped that a few times then went over to Sagamore which was also amazing. One of the best days we’ve had. Ski’d like monster hitting all the bumps and drop till last chair.

Man there's nothing better than inviting a friend to Gore who doesn't know it well and showing them around on a day like Friday, where everything is in play. That was so much fun!
@Scottski63 has been to Gore, long ago and recently, but I do think local knowledge was a big factor on this day.

It looks like 46er was groomed before the storm, and since it didn't open Friday, everyone got fresh tracks on Saturday. It's always a good idea to take advantage of midweek terrain closures like that.
With regard to the start time for the Hudson Chair, it's supposed to be 8:30, but in my experience, they are often late. If I'm arriving early (which is the vast majority of the time), I don't like to start at base areas with only one lift, because if it's delayed for any reason, you're stranded. One time last season, I slept through my alarm and was late, so I parked there, and actually got an untracked 46er. So my mistake actually had a silver lining.
