Gore Opens this Friday!


Hello,

This Friday November 23rd Gore will open for the start of the 2012/2013 ski season. At this point your season passes will not be ready, but not to fear. We will have tickets for you in the Training Center if you would like to ski this weekend.

If you still have not had your pass picture taken, stop by the Ski School desk and have that done, but please do not go to the lodge looking for your pass. As passes get printed they will arrive at the Training Center, so only look for them there.

Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving!
