G'day And Good Night Gore!
/With one of the craziest winters on record – and summer like weather for the last few days – Gore Mountain is officially closing today after the last run.
Just 34 per cent of the mountain is open, with 4 lifts including the Northwood Gondola, and 22 trials. With large sections of grass and rocks exposed, and walking required on many trails, the resort’s operators had little choice but to pack it in. No new snow has been made since the end of February, and what's left has been melting rapidly leaving a muddy mess.
At around 10.45 am today a skier told us there were about 5 people in the lodge and not a soul linning up for the Gondola.
Lift tickets are heavily discounted today and sons under 19 ski free with a paying adult. There are deals galore for early birds who want to buy seasons passes for next season, which come with unlimited scenic rides on the Gondola for the rest of this Spring and Summer.
