Snow Report

Hey skiers and riders, thanks for tuning in. This is Cindy with your More Gore podcast for Sunday, January 23, and ski day #59. We have 63 trails planned to open and 11 lifts spinning. We've got amazing coverage and awesome packed powder and loose granular conditions with tons of trails open for skiers and riders to spread out and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Uncas, Lower Uncas, and Hedges are now open. There are three different freestyle areas scheduled to open today- look for rails and jibs in Lower Sleighride and Wild Air park areas, along with our boarder/skiercross course at the Ski Bowl with Village Chair lift service 11am-6pm today. The Echo trail is open for racing only today as we welcome athletes to the Men's FIS Giant Slalom. Good luck racers! Sunday's forecast is partly cloudy with a 20% chance of morning snow showers then increasing sunshine through the afternoon, high near 22, and light west wind increasing to 5-9 mph. Snowmakers are working away on Sagamore, Eagle's Nest, Peaceful Valley, and the Oak Ridge trail. They are also touching up Wild Air and The Arena allowing for plenty of snow to build out the competition course for NorAm Holeshot and Futures tours coming up in February. It's Sushi Sunday in the food court- catch our live sushi chef in action and grab a spicy tuna or California roll for just $11 each. We're also featuring homemade goulash with bowtie pasta and ground beef for $10. Participants in our Mountain Adventure season-long and 6-week programs are now checking in at the bootup tent. This change only applies to children ages 3-12 whose Mountain Adventure program was purchased directly through Gore. All other lessons including school group programs, two-hour, and 90-minute class lessons, and private lessons are still checking in at the Snow Sports tent near the Northwoods Lodge. Please remember to mask up inside the gondola and in our lodges, tents, and parking lot shuttles - thanks for doing your part to keep us all safe and healthy! Our gondola and chairlifts will be loaded based on demand - be prepared to ride with others. If you have concerns about riding in the gondola, please use open-air chairlifts. Cross-country and twilight skiing are open until 6pm today. Access is included with valid lift tickets and season passes. Tickets for these Ski Bowl activities can also be purchased in the Lodge upon arrival. We're hosting the Castleton University Nordic Invitational during the morning today! Lift tickets must be booked online in advance - keep in mind there is a limited number available for each day of the season. Be sure to plan and purchase ahead to secure your spot on the mountain for the days you wish to ski with us. Hop on over to our online store to see what's available. Book your rentals and class lessons online in advance too. Make your reservations for private lessons and adaptive program over the phone and please keep in mind that all of our lesson options require 3-day advanced reservations. Thanks again for tuning in. Make it a great snow day!
