Into Every Life, a Little Rain Must Fall – and then Snow a Lot!
More Rain is on tap for this week – but the bright spot in the forecast is a looming snowstorm for Thursday night into Friday with the potential for a foot or more of new snow! We can only hope! Here is the latest report. (All Gore Mt. lift tickets MUST be purchased online prior to arrival – CLICK HERE).
At last check – there were NO Sold Out dates for Gore in the near future.

If Gore is Sold Out – What’s a skier to do? There are other ski options in the area. The Ski Bowl in North Creek is home to the Village Chair and the Gore Mt. Nordic Center. Perhaps scale your day to twilight skiing on the Village Chair 3PM-8PM (and it’s only $26 for adults, $19 for Juniors and $10 for kids). More Info CLICK HERE. If you’ve never tried Nordic skiing – the Ski Bowl is the perfect place to start! With lights and snowmaking, rentals and lessons it’s great fun! Ski Bowl Nordic Info CLICK HERE

Not to be undone – there is additional Cross Country Skiing at Garnet Hill Lodge and Outdoor Center. Garnet Hill is fully open thanks to the recent storm with 50+Km of trails groomed and track-set! There is also some great backcountry skiing and snowshoeing in the neighboring Siamese Ponds Wilderness area.

More Options for Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding are two neighboring ski areas, Oak Mt. in Speculator, and West Mt. in Queensbury – both about 35 miles away.
Both require advance ticket purchase. Oak Mt. Website | West Mt. Website

Weather and Outdoor Conditions
Rain on Tuesday night and Wednesday will be followed by a sharp cool-down going from the 40s down into single digits. More important snowfall is in the longer range forecasts for later this week. As mentioned the snowpack will probably be able to absorb most of the rainfall. Get out there! Maybe a little too cold for you – some tips: Ride the “Indoor” lift aka the Gondola. Ski some of the “sun facing” chairs – The North Lift and the Summit will have that sun beaming on you for the ride back up! Still too cold? Try Cross Country Skiing. Both Garnet Hill and Ski Bowl Nordic have groomed cross country ski trails, lessons and rentals. Give it a try – the added activity will warm you up quickly – and of course skiing is skiing!
