There are 33 trails open at Gore right now. That is 62% of their trails, not including glades. It has snowed 6 inches in the past week. The primary surface is lose powder, my favorite surface, with a secondary layer of frozen of packed powder. There is a base depth of 14-29 inches. They have been making snow in the past 48 hours, trying to open more trails for the weekend. There are 6 lifts open on the main part of the mountain, out of the 12 that there are.
I went to Gore last year for a weekend. I think that the mountain is smaller than a lot of other mountains, but it takes a long time to ski everything. I could have been there for a week and still not be bored. The trails have such a variety that you can ski almost every different kind of trail at Gore. Gore is a good family mountain, but it is also good for a bunch of experienced skiers.
On the mountain, there is an area called “The Dark Side”. This area is in the shadow of the mountain, hence the name. That was my favorite part of the mountain because there are a lot of glades over there. I like skiing glades. The official name for The Dark Side is the High Peaks area, but everyone calls it The Dark Side. I also liked the top of the mountain because that is where the more challenging trails are. All in all though, the whole mountain is great.
