Snow Report

Hey Gore Mountain Fans, thanks for tuning in. This is Cindy with your More Gore Podcast for Friday, March 24 and Ski Day #123. Look for around 77 trails opening up today with 11 lifts spinning including the Hudson and Village Chairs at the Ski Bowl. Groomers are planning to hit all the main routes but will steer clear of The Dark Side steeps, Chatiemac, The Rumor, Sagamore, and 46er. Please note that ungroomed trails including those noted for experts and several glades may need a little extra time to soften in the morning. Surfaces should dry out a bit overnight with precipitation forcasted to end around sunset and strong west wind through the night. Look for loose and frozen granular with machine grooming on most trails in the morning, with some softening throughout the day, especially on the lower mountain. Friday's forecast is partly sunny with a high near 42 and northwest wind 10-14 mph. We're watching a wintry mix on the way for Saturday that could add a couple of inches of heavy wet snow to our spring base. 23/24 season passes are on sale now with a free financing option and the best available prices. New passholders can start skiing right away because lift access for the rest of this season is included with all 23/24 passes. Reload your current frequent skier card with a new season pass and enjoy exclusive upgrade pricing that matches our season pass renewal rates. Our terrain park crew has been busy maintaining the features on Upper and Lower Sleighride, these areas and features are inspected daily and open if and as conditions allow. Remember to start small and work your way up. Today's Food Court lunch special is a fried clam boat with french fries for $12. The Nordic Center at the Ski Bowl is planned to open from 2-6pm today with about 4k of trails for cross-country skiers and snowshoers, and Village Chair is schedule to spin from 3-8pm for twilight fun on Village Slopes. This Saturday we'll have several Maple Day vendors on the sundeck with glass jewelry, assorted fudge, soaps and creative cut rock accessories, and adult spirits for sample and sale. Saturday is also live music from the Margo Macero band 2:30-5pm in the Tannery, and featured adult beverages from Stella Artios as part of our Rippin and Sippin series sponsored by Saratoga Eagle. If you're considering learning a new snow sport, now is the perfect time to get started. We offer beginner packages daily, but we've also added a special Intro To Snow spring promo that will be available on Tuesday and Friday afternoons from March 28 through April 7. On these days only starting at 12:30pm, we're offering a $10 lower mountain ticket, $10 beginner one-hour class lesson, and $10 rental package including helmet option.
