Ski Day #25- Dope Status in the Daks (Gore Mountain, NY)

Last Saturday I headed back up to Gore Mountain with my LAX Bro Phil. It was a pretty enjoyable day with some sun and great temperatures. Lots of the glades were open, our favorites were the Darby Woods Glades and Chatiemac Glades. The Rumor was open too, no head wall though, you had to take the cut-over from Hawkeye.

This trip brought on a new adventure, it was our first time riding the Hudson Chair at the North Creek Ski Bowl. This was an old ski area a long time ago. I skied over there once on some back woods traverses many years ago. It was no longer in operation at that time, there were not even any lifts. But some years ago, Gore connected its main mountain to this area and put in a few new lifts. The lifts are fixed-grip lifts, so they are not that fast. However, the runs a pretty tight and offer some nice terrain. It is definitely worth checking out on your next trip to Gore.
