The North Creek Ski Bowl

Gore Mountain’s original base camp for winter sports since 1934, the North Creek Ski Bowl has become a hub for year-round activity in the Gore Mountain region. The Ski Bowl has undergone thoughtful upgrades to offer modern amenities and expanded recreational opportunities while still honoring its rich heritage. Visit in the winter for Alpine skiing and snowboarding, Nordic Skiing and Snowshoeing, Uphill Skinning, and Twilight Skiing on the Village Slopes.

The Station is the new 18,000 square foot base lodge for the North Creek Ski Bowl. The Station features Timber & Thyme Restaurant, Trailside Outfitters Retail Shop, seating areas, day-lockers, and easy access to the slopes.

Ski Bowl Overview


Ski where the locals do – link up with all four sprawling peaks and add some adventure to your day. Even if you didn’t grow up on these slopes, you’ll feel like you did!

Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding

Start your ski day at The North Creek Ski Bowl. The Ski Bowl trails are conveniently networked with the rest of Gore Mountain’s Peaks. The recent upgrade of the Hudson Chair to a high-speed quad provides quicker access up the mountain.

The Interconnect:

The Hudson Chair services Little Gore Mountain and connects the Ski Bowl with our three other peaks of terrain. You can score some extra time on the mountain by familiarizing yourself with how the Hudson Chair, Burnt Ridge Mountain, and the North Side are networked.

To the Ski Bowl: From Burnt Ridge Mountain, take the Backwoods trail for the most convenient and direct route to the Roaring Brook Bridge. From the base of the North Quad, take the Pipeline Traverse to Roaring Brook Bridge (check out a shortcut via the “Peace Pipe” trail), to access Little Gore Mountain and the Ski Bowl.

From the Ski Bowl: To access the rest of Gore’s trails, from the top of the Hudson Chair head down Peaceful Valley trail to the Eagle’s Nest Bridge on the skier’s right, cross, and continue down Eagle’s Nest trail to the base of the Burnt Ridge Quad.
