“The snow was incredibly deep in Delaware County. So deep that with the consistency of the snow, the trees were basically unskiable. Waist deep. We stuck to the sides of the “groomers” weaving in and out of the untracked and the huge soft bumps…”
“Our off season is progressing. The work on redeveloping the historic North Creek Ski Bowl is coming along. The 1946 T-bar has been removed. We installed the new triple chair’s motor room, operator building, and transformer last fall.
This year we’ve completed the bridge over Roaring Brook, lift’s top terminal, trail work on Oak Ridge, Moxham, and Peaceful Valley, and the snowmaking pipe installation on Oak Ridge.
We’re currently installing the snowmaking on Eagle’s Nest and Peaceful Valley, as well as forming all tower foundations for the new lift.
“Located in the southern Adirondack Mountain community of North Creek, NY, Gore is best known for its intermediate terrain, New York State’s only gondola and the high speed triple chair that briskly conveys skiers from the base to the upper mountain.
The Gore Mt. area has a strong skiing tradition dating back to the 1930’s. The present ski area is in its 28th season of operation. Managed since 1984 by the Olympic Regional Development Authority, Gore has seen extensive enhancement in the past seven years. The most recent improvements include an increase in snowmaking and extensive trail widening on popular trails Sunway, Twister, Cloud and Upper Steilhang.
