About Gore Mountain
Gore Mountain in the central Adirondacks is a state-owned ski resort operated by the Olympic Regional Development Authority, which keeps its lift ticket prices substantially lower than comparable private resorts in the Northeast and makes it one of the best-value full-service ski areas in New York. Its 1,200 skiable acres across four interconnected peaks represent the largest ski area in the state, with a mix of groomed cruisers and genuinely challenging gladed terrain that performs well in the natural snowfall years the Adirondacks occasionally deliver. The Burnt Ridge sector added significant new terrain in recent years, and the resort's consistent investment in snowmaking on its main trails keeps conditions reliable through a typically variable Northeast season. Gore rewards exploration — its trail map undersells the scope of skiing available to those willing to traverse and hike.
