Athlete Conduct
We anticipate that all athletes
attending the U18 USSA Finals will be well behaved. Gore Mt. Ski Center is a
wonderful host to ski racing and works hard to produce ideal race trail
conditions for all of our races. We ask that all athletes, coaches, and parents
treat the Gore Mt. personnel and the skiing public politely on the hill and in
the lodge.
Our ski patrol requires the use
of the safety bar on the chair lifts and requests that racers control their
speed on open public trails. Absolutely
no tucking anywhere off the race trail. The patrol is very strict.
Accommodations
North Creek has motels and guest houses minutes from the mountain. There are a number of places within 20 or 30 minutes of Gore Mt. spread throughout the Town of Johnsburg in the various hamlets. Nearby Chestertown, Indian Lake and Warrensburg also provide opportunities and are each about 15 miles away. Further are Lake George, Queensbury, and Glens Falls all about 40-45 minutes away (36 miles). Look on the Goremountain.com website there is a link to area lodging.
Tuning facilities are available in the NYSEF training center,
Please clean the tune room when finished.
Congratulations to all invited to the U18 USSA Finals race series!
Any questions please feel free to call our training center during the
hours of 8-4:30PM.
