Gore! Gore! Gore! Powder! Powder! Powder!

Stating the obvious: this weekend is going to be the best weekend of the season to ski Gore Mountain, with the resort getting 12 inches of snow in the last 24 hours. That means 100 per cent of the mountain is open -- more than 40 miles of trials! That’s 95 of 'em, accessible by 9 lifts.

And did we mention there’s eight miles of glades!

This weekend season pass holders get to bring a friend who can ski at half price. And don’t forget to check out neat ways to save at Liftopia.

The forecast for Friday calls for cloudy conditions, high near 38 with south wind 5-9 mph.

Goin' At Gore

The sun was blazing, the folks friendly and the trails rocked at Gore yesterday, on a very busy Sunday of the Presidents Day weekend holiday.

While the parking lots filled up early, the mountain was relatively un-crowded. Conditions did get a little icy late in the day.

We ate our lunch basking in the sun on the outside deck, just feet away from the open pit fire.

Meanwhle, some Tele racers took home skins, packs, poles, and other  backcountry gear from the Inside Edge of Queensbury in morning races.

Sixty six trails and 13 lifts will be open Monday. Will you be there?
