It’s been suggested in some quarters that the expansion of Gore Mountain onto Burnt Ridge and down to the Ski Bowl is short-sighted. In my opinion, it’s actually long-term thinking.
While Gore is a lot like a business, it really isn’t one. It’s more like an “attraction” run by the state.
If Killington were able to raise $4 million for capital improvements, the people in charge of the quality of the skiing product — from GM on down — could recommend to the owners the best way to spend the money. That’s not how Gore’s expansion happened. Gore got money specifically for terrain expansion from the State of New York.
