I've skied Gore since early 1970 and I all I can say is "SHUT UP" about how good this place is and can be. Short lines, long trails, challenging trails and cruisers, lower ticket price than most areas.... but stop me now,the "Secret" is getting out!! Please do not go here.... we like the short lines and if you all come, that will be a thing of the past. Sorry, but please go to Vermont!!

on the way from westchester ny we stopped in rhinebeck and ate at gigi's. amazing food, incredible service. awesome tavern across the street, witty bartender. horse bitsand spurs embellish the walls. cool shops including a store selling international hand made wood sculptures acoss the street. town is well kept and full of locals. a small movie theater in the saem street. we have been going to gore mountain throught the last three years. we stay in saratoga springs to have nightlife. we've stayed at the holiday inn which has allowed our dogs and most recently at the saratoga hotel.very cheap hotels compared to other ski towns.its a 45 minute drive to gore each morning from saratoga but the view is so amazing you don't notice. there is an excellent italian restaraunt across from the saratoga hotel. gore mountain is excellent. as all mountains the trails get congested with crowds on weekends and holidays. one indoor gondola. the new northwoods lodge on site has nice day care and tune-up services. new bathrooms, great service. food is not great at gore mountain yet maybe they'll add something new soon.we are big on dining experience. i would say ny ski resorts fail at that. but otherwise gore mountain has good variety for everyone it's a 4 hr drive from nyc and 100 times better than hunter, belleyare or platekill so worth the trip if you can't do stowe. it's equivalant to okemo. the good part about okemo is the town is down the hill from the mountain and with gore you must drive to saratoga. okemo doesn't have an indoor gondola. we try them all anyway. variety is the spice of life

Gore is a great mountain, despite it's status as the little, lesser known sister of Whiteface. Situated on three distinct peaks, it boasts everything anyone could want in a mountain; short lift lines, gentle beginner runs, long intermediate cruisers, narrow expert trails, awesome glades, crazy steeps, gorgeous views and the best grooming state-run ORDA (Olympic Regional Development Authority) has to offer, without the pretentious air of some other resorts. They run an excellent ski school program for kids, and they are very accomadating with respect to their lesson programs. Gore is also expanding on two fronts; a new lift on Burnt Ridge set to open December 2008, giving it yet another peak, more glades and another five miles of trails, as well as night skiing at the Ski Bowl, otherwise known as "Little Gore", with a planned connection to the main mountain in the works. Even with all the expansion, they retain the small mountain charm and atmosphere that so many find appealing. In short, it's one of the best values you can find in the east, and the food's pretty darn good too. Try any of the soups!

Skied most of Europe and Rockies. For the East Gore and Whiteface are a great alternate.Nice runs---double blacks etc.Dining is o.K.With better coming at gore .Overall i give a thumbs up.I like better than Killington.

Exception:heavy wind shuts down Upper Whiteface/////

Great resort, no lines even on the holidays and weekends and that is with the parking lot full. You feel like you have the whole trail to yourself. Well worth the extra hour drive past Hunter Mt. Why spend time in long lines for short runs when you can hop on a lift and ski their long trails. Like their motto - MORE GORE MORE GORE !!!!!
