History
Skiers first began using Gore Mountain in 1934 when a ski excursion train brought visitors to the North Creek Depot. The lower mountain or "Old Gore" was later improved through the addition of "New Gore" in 1964. The two resorts operated independently from one another until 2003 when ORDA reintroduced operations at Old Gore which had ceased in the 1980s. Gore Mountain has recently expanded its resort limits to combine with the historic North Creek Ski Bowl (Old Gore). In 2008-2009 ski season Gore added 5 new runs to the mountain as it completed its Burnt Ridge expansion. This new quad offers skiers an opportunity to ski four new glades, two intermediate trails and one expert run. This expansion coincides with an expansion at the state run Whiteface Ski Resort.
Gore Mountain was voted in the "Top 10 for Value" by Ski Magazine in 2006.
In the 2010-2011 season, Gore opened a connector called Little Gore Mountain, including a beginner trail called "Peaceful Valley," four intermediate leveled trails called "Pipeline", "Eagle's Nest," "Oak Ridge Trail" and "Moxham," an intermediate glade called "Half and Half" and an expert trail called "46er." Now one can reach the bottom of the Ski Bowl and return via Peaceful Valley and Eagle's Nest without having to take the shuttle back to the main mountain.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
