Snow Report

Hey Gore Mountain Fans, thanks for tuning in. This is Cindy with your More Gore Podcast for Sunday, January 29, and ski day #69. We have 58 trails planned to open with 11 lifts spinning including the Sunway and Greenway for beginners and the Village Chairlift for all-around fun under the lights until 8pm. Conditions are packed powder and loose granular with groomers redressing most open terrain including our steeps, with the exception of Lower Darby. Today's forecast is snow likely shifting to mixed precip during the afternoon with a high near 39 and south wind 10-15 mph. 13" of new snow has called you all out at once. This means our parking lots get crowded and bottlenecked with everyone arriving at the same time. The easiest solution- arrive earlier and be waiting to get checked in and fitted for rentals when the lodges open at 8am to avoid the heaviest traffic, then once you're settled grab that extra cup of wakeup drink from the food court or waffle cabin. Pro tip: our food court begins serving breakfast at 7:30am. Explore the brand-new Backwoods trail on Burnt Ridge Mountain. The monster black diamond Sagamore is now open as well. Note that Echo and the Gully are open for U16 Super G racing only today. Freestylers can have fun on 11 Small and Medium features in the Upper Sleighride terrain park. Have fun while skiing or riding with care! Be sure to check out the USASA slopestyle comp happening today on 2b and The Arena. Today is just loaded with competitive events, we also have a U10 World Cup slalom on Village Slopes. And we are hosting the Mid-Atlantic JNQ and NYSSRA cross-country races at the Ski Bowl. Races start at 9am and are expected to wrap up at about 1pm today. Trails will open to the public shortly after the final finisher. Most of the action can be seen from the stadium area so come out and cheer these athletes around their course. The Village Chairlift is open 11am-8pm. Access to all Ski Bowl activities is included with your season pass. Stand-alone tickets for individual activities can be purchased at the lodge on arrival. Today's Food Court lunch special is Shepherd’s Pie with ground beef, corn, mashed potatoes, and cheddar jack for $12. Be sure to buy your lift tickets online in advance, along with rentals and class lessons if needed. Call to reserve private lessons by phone. While you're here, give your boards some love with a standard tune-up in our tuning and repair shop and pick up awesome Gore Mountain gifts, gear, and souvenirs from our retail shop upstairs in the base lodge. If you're still listening you may have been waiting to hear about this exciting employment opportunity. We are currently hiring lift operators & lift attendants who enjoy working in a fast-paced and fun environment. Employee perks include your SKI3 season pass, discounts on food and retail, and specials at the Lake Placid Legacy Sites.
