For an unpracticed skier as he then was, it was too steep. I still remember a few years back physically carrying my youngest son down Sunway, the too-challenging green dot on the main mountain, as he cried and wailed that it was too steep. But there is no way for beginners to get back to the main mountain from that area. And the new area has a long trail rated “easier” that is just tolerable in that role. To market the mountain, trails that in previous decades were labeled “intermediate” have been re-styled with the green dot of “easiest.” But one who is still getting comfortable on skis or snowboard would find very limited offerings at Gore.įor example, Gore has opened a new area skiing down from Little Gore Mountain into the North Creek ski bowl below the base of the main mountain.
GORE MOUNTAIN FULL
Although as a big, full-service mountain, it offers the full range of lessons and children’s services, where it really falls short is providing comfortable beginner terrain beyond its bunny slopes. Gore is emphatically an intermediate-advanced mountain. Its comfy, 8-person Northwoods Gondola serves the top of Bear Mountain, which isn’t the highest point in the complex, but allows over 1700 feet of direct downward skiing without flat traverses and gives access to the whole area. It is a huge expanse of four nested, interconnected peaks with a maximum vertical drop of 2,527 feet. Gore Mountain is in the Adirondack Mountains, about 1.5 hours’ drive from Albany.
