Gore Mountain - March 11, 2023

Gore Mountain was fantastic!

Went on Monday with my buddy Martyn, who managed to get us there and home in record time, thanks to 90+ mph in a little shit box of a Subaru.

incredible conditions, a bit windy (60mph gusts!).

My first time skiing was at Gore, nearly fifty years ago, as a Boy Scout in Troop 11, Port Chester, NY.

There were probably three or four vehicles who took us kids up there on a Friday night, staying for the weekend.

Memorable was the fact that we left in a blizzard, and since my Uncle Paul was driving, I was with him along with three of my friends.

Uncle Paul's vehicle?

Ford F-150 two-wheel drive pickup with a cap. He was a carpenter, and had built a couple of cots in the back, basically elevated plywood.

So, two kids rode in the front, and the other two froze their asses off in the dark and cold back there. He would pull over about every hour to swap out the frozen kids with the thawed out ones.

We literally loved shit like this!

Anyway, here's some pics from probably the best day of skiing I've ever had!

Planning to go back Wednesday...
