Snow Report

Hey Gore Mountain skiers & Riders thanks for tuning in. This is Julia with your Mountain Update for Thursdays, February 2, and ski day #73. We have 60 trails planned to open with 11 lifts spinning including the Sunway Chair and Greenway for beginners. Conditions are packed powder with some loose and frozen granular. The Rumor opened yesterday, and folks loved it! The Rumor is ungroomed and has some snowmaking whales, and this double black diamond is for experts only. Groomers are busy overnight, yet they'll leave The Rumor, Echo, Sagamore, Topridge, Lower Darby, and a few more trails untouched. Look for snowmaking on Chatiemac, Peaceful Valley, and The Oak Ridge Trail on Little Gore Mountain. Today's forecast is partly sunny, high near 30 and southwest wind 10-17 mph. Several glades up top are planned to open today including Straight Brook, Dark Side, Darby Woods, and Birch Bark Alley. We have an incoming cold snap on Friday. If you choose to go skiing and riding be sure to layer up and take frequent breaks inside. For questions on easy changes, or cancellations of purchases reach out to us through the Customer Service Form located online. Look for the cross course rebuild happening below as you ride up in the Northwoods Gondola. We are looking forward to hosting the US Ski & Snowboard Holeshot cross tour from Feb 6-10. Recreational freestylers can have fun today on 11 small and medium features in the Upper Sleighride terrain park. The slopestyle course on 2b is open only as conditions allow and only for those with experience on extra-large jumps and competition-level features. Be sure to always use a spotter and signal your drop! Today's Food Court lunch special is crispy tater tots loaded with seasoned black beans, tomatoes, onions, black olives, jalapenos, cheese (sauce or shredded), salsa, and sour cream for $10. The Nordic center trails are open for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing from 2-6pm today through Friday. The Village Chair for Twilight skiing & riding is open from 3-8pm today.
