I believe it was based on a study done by the government.
I'm sure they never imagined it growing beyond the east and north sides.
C’mon now.I believe it was based on a study done by the government.

The trail mileage limits have been in NYS Constitution since 1947 for Gore and Belleayre & 1941 for Whiteface.
Don’t also forget the many outdated and new UMP’s folks spent time on.

I don't think that's true. I think Cloud was cut by the Schenectady Wintersports Club 25 years before the East and North doubles opened in 1963. The Summit double opened only 3 years later. Maybe if Cloud hadn't been cut, the gondola summit would have been developed first, but I'm sure moving further up the mountain was always part of the plan.I believe it was based on a study done by the government.

Maybe I am conflating two different things. I was thinking about 1964. Cloud was 30 years before that.
But you are right, the gondi went in 3 years later, so it was likely always part of the plan.
We have actually started on a history of Gore Mountain that would go here:

Greg Schaeffer has already done a ton of work on it. It's fascinating. But the whole project overwhelms/intimidates me. The story has more layers then say, the history of Snow Ridge.
Maybe next year I will have "more time."

I think if Cloud hadn't been cut, they would have looked at the current gondola summit before the real summit. I also think the only reason they developed Gore at all was probably because someone in North Creek with political clout figured old Gore wasn't big enough to be competitive. I think if there were an actual study of the place it would have stopped the project in its tracks, ad we'd all be worse off for it.
