It now features "Ruby Way", a beginner trail from the summit of Bear Mountain.

Looks like some skatin is involved. Not so bad on teles. I'll stick with foxlair unless I'm hungry for lunch.

Skating is always involved when skiing Gore. That's my only complaint. Gore's really done an excellent job in opening up new terrain esp. the likes of Dark Side Glades but they need to do something about all the flat spots on the mountain esp. when you get off the summit chair. :twisted:

Are you suggesting DYNAMITE?

I would think that they might be able to do some grading to help, but they pretty much have to go with what they have.

Whatever works. I'm no engineer but I hate the skate. I say they put in a rope tow off the summit trail to get you over to Rumor. :twisted:

I am confident that a rope tow would get the job done and even be inexpensive!

 

[St. Jerry]

Yes, lots of resorts put in some type of pull lift to get skiers over the flat spots. Vail comes to mind as does Alta.


then again, Vail and Alta in the same context as Gore?

Nope, a pull lift for gore will never happen.

 

[Lbtchnlgs]

I totally agree with you, when I posted that I knew we were still talking about Gore- but hey it would be nice wouldn't it?

 

[Harvey44]

Maybe I'm old fashion, but I don't mind. Part of that is because I'm on teles.

In Switzerland I skied at a place (Arosa) where they think nothing of having the last 50 ft before loading a chair an uphill herringbone or sidestep of like 15 vertical feet. THAT is tiring. You have to perfect your "shuss." (Tucking to get every ounce of speed for a flat or uphill section.)

there are days when a rope tow would be nice...... like when the wind is whipping up from Cloud.

other days it does not seem to bother me... gets you warmed up for rumor or lies
