Gore Mountain Conditions

[Harvey]

How late in the season does gore usually stay open? Any estimates for this year ?

You'd have to do some clicking but the last ten years of Gore closing dates are here:

Lower Steilhang ain’t what it used to be. \ and another snowmaking groomer (that is now wider and straighter). Yippie!!

The "new" portion of Lower Steilhang is not wider by any means but it is straighter and sure is steep.

Lower Steilhang ain’t what it used to be. The Dark Side lift line, which used to be a great “glade”, is now an abomination. This is what we call progress, I suppose. Increased capacity (that probably wasn’t needed) and another snowmaking groomer (that is now wider and straighter). Yippie!!

Any Gore old timers out there know the history of the “Betty loved this trail. “ sign now sadly missing from what used to be the Dark Side glade, or have a picture they could share?

It was cool whenever I saw it riding up slowly.

Eh….maybe because it’s now straighter the whole thing just felt wider? Why did they change it, so they could make snow on it and/or groom it, so it could be open more often? Has it been?

Do we all agree that the trail lost some of its defining character? Sad. It probably won’t get skied any more than it used to, and it’s less enjoyable for those that do…..

Woodstove Archive - "Betty loved this trail!" -- any info?

"Betty loved this trail!" -- any info?. Anyone who's ridden the High Peaks double at Gore has probably noticed the sign at the bottom of the Dark Side Glades that reads "Betty L♡ved this...

It is much narrower than Hullaballoo and Lower Darby. And yes, the "idea" was that they could now make snow and groom the headwall. I don't have specific stats, but I can tell you it was definitely open more in past years.

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't screw up the old trail with the stockpiled whales; and I said time will tell if they actually will use said whales to keep the trail open for spring skiing.

BTW skiing was really good today!!

Really good day at Gore today!
Sunny, new snow and not crowded. 3" that was reported looked and felt like more.
Only two things that would've made it better - skiing with Milo and Sausage Tortellini soup

I love me some sausage tortellini but I spent the whole day in a Sudafed induced haze. Glad you had a good time
