Gore Mountain Improvements In Progress For 18/19 season
Gore Mountain has another exciting construction season underway with projects including a complete overhaul to its snowmaking system and a huge expansion and renovation to the Base Lodge's Tannery Pub & Restaurant.
A new pump house is being constructed and new pipe installed for Gore to add 2,000 more gallons of water per minute to its pumping capacity for snowmaking. This necessary increase will allow Gore to open more trails earlier in the season and expand terrain faster than ever before. 312 brand-new guns equipped with the latest snowmaking technologies are being installed on key trails to facilitate mountain crews in working smarter, faster, and more efficiently. These guns can be controlled remotely or manually, and respond to real-time weather changes to optimize their output.
A large two-level addition to the Base Lodge will double the size of the Tannery Pub & Restaurant, which is getting a complete renovation and expanded kitchen. The newly added Tannery space will seat up to 350 people and offer year-round facilities for banquets, weddings, and conferences. The lower level addition will house a new headquarters for the popular Season-Long Mountain Adventure Program for children, and more seasonal lockers.
Two grooming machines are being added to the fleet for the upcoming season. Trail crews have recently removed a large irregularity on the Lower Cloud trail, making the on-snow approach into the mid-mountain Saddle area smoother and easier. The entry walkway to the Base Area has been attractively repaved.
