North Creek, NY – Gore Mountain Ski Center in New York State’s Adirondack Mountains will celebrate the grand opening of its Hudson Chair Saturday morning, completing the long awaited interconnect with the historic North Creek Ski Bowl ski area. The public is welcome to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10:30 a.m. and hear speeches from state and local officials. Skiing will follow, or guests may enjoy some light refreshments in the recently renovated Ski Bowl Lodge.nThe redeveloped terrain on Little Gore Mountain, which now features snowmaking and trails for all ability levels, will be open. Guests can also ski “Eagle’s Nest” from Little Gore’s summit to the base of Burnt Ridge Mountain, which provides access to the rest of Gore Mountain’s trail system.

The new trails follow the profile of the same terrain North Creek’s earliest skiers traveled, and the lift line of the Hudson Chair was once home to the 1946 t-bar at the Ski Bowl. The expert “46er” trail, which is part of the new expansion was named in tribute to the Bowl’s history, and runs such as “The Oak Ridge Trail” and “Half-n-Half” maintain their same names and routes as well.

The launch, which comes just four days after Gore Mountain’s 47th anniversary, commemorates not only the revitalization of the North Creek Ski Bowl, but also business growth in the region afforded by ski runs that now reach the town center in North Creek. The North Creek Business Alliance shuttle, along with the interconnect, facilitates access between Gore Mountain’s Base Area, the North Creek Ski Bowl, Main Street, and area lodging properties.
