Gore is terrific for all levels of skier. Its not the flashiest mountain, in fact it's kind of a throwback with a bunch of double chairs and a triple too. But it's also got a great gondola, high speed quads and a groovy snow carpet for the beginner. It's got some sick double diamonds with 2 super steep trails in "Rumor and Lies" There's banging... More

Gore is a last minute ski get away for us. It’s very easy to get to and very family friendly. There really are no hotels close to the mountain with a shuttle service so you have to drive in each morning about 20 minutes.... More

Gore has amazing terrain and caters more to the intermediate/advanced crowds. That being said, their are just too many issues with how this resort is managed to make me want to come back continuously. For one, the layout of the resort is confusing and hard to navigate, chair lifts are often haphazardly placed in areas and most do not go to the peak... More

When Gore has all its distinct mountain zones open there is plenty to be had! I love some of the long cruisers. Several of the steeps are the toughest around. You can find some hidden stashes of snow if you want too!... More

Best bet in New York State for advanced skiers looking for challenging terrain. White Face is well...White Face so that leaves Gore. Been skiing in NY for 50 years now and never really hear a glowing report about White Face like "Can't wait to go back". Gore gets the crowds for sure but there is acreage for everyone to spread out. Ski patrol and... More

Gore is the winter wonderland of the East with a big mountain feel and spectacular 360 degree views of many of the near and distant Adirondack mountains. The mountain and surrounding country is clean and unspoiled with the scent of pine all along the lift. The ski area is rustic, not crowded, with great facilities and challenging trails. ... More
