About Gore Mountain.

Four peaks, 100+ trails, and 2,537 feet of vertical drop, which is real terrain for the East Coast. The lift fleet runs 14 deep, anchored by an eight-passenger gondola and a stack of high-speed quads, so lap times stay short even on a holiday Saturday. The trail mix is the reason to come. Rumor and 46er are the steeps people drive up for; the long blue cruisers off the gondola are how you actually log vertical with a mixed-ability group; the glades hold snow well when the natural total (over 100 inches in a normal year) cooperates. Snowmaking covers nearly the whole network, which keeps things open through the East's freeze-thaw weeks. The Station at the North Creek Ski Bowl is the upgraded base lodge, with a full restaurant, bar, rentals, and locker access. SnowSports School handles kids 4 to 12 with multi-week programs that actually move beginners off the magic carpet by February. About 25 minutes off I-87, an hour from Albany, three-and-a-half to four hours from New York City. Open winter into spring; the lift-served mountain biking opens summer side.
§ Editor’s Note

Big ski area, less crowded than Whiteface, easier drive from the south.
