Gore Mountain Progress Report

Snowmaking Pipe on Peaceful Valley

"Our off season is progressing. The work on redeveloping the historic North Creek Ski Bowl is coming along. The 1946 T-bar has been removed. We installed the new triple chair's motor room, operator building, and transformer last fall.

This year we've completed the bridge over Roaring Brook, lift's top terminal, trail work on Oak Ridge, Moxham, and Peaceful Valley, and the snowmaking pipe installation on Oak Ridge.

We're currently installing the snowmaking on Eagle's Nest and Peaceful Valley, as well as forming all tower foundations for the new lift.

Soon we'll be putting up towers, making a final clean up of 46er, building the top operator's building, and then hanging the lift's cable, communications, and chairs.

It is exciting thinking about winter again and we know the days are getting shorter. See you soon."

No mention of snowmaking on 46er?

Jeff ... I posed your question to Mike. (My bad for not asking it in the first place.) His response ... "It depends on a variety of factors, including weather. I'm still hopeful we can get it done, but I'm not going to promise it."

He would get many brownie points if he pulled it off. The 46'r should be a fun trail.

Wonder if any here have ever skied or are familiar with the woods on the mtn side?
