Heading to Gore next week. A few questions. What time do the lifts start during the week? Is there multiple base areas to park, which one is better for blue/black skier? It looks like numerous terrain pods, is it easy to navigate to different areas or is it confusing and require numerous lifts to get to the different areas? Do all the lifts spin non-weekend and any lifts to avoid because they are real slow?
Park at the main base. Technically you can also park at the Ski Bowl base if it's running, but I'd recommend against that. It's an isolated area and you probably won't be over there too much.
It's easy to navigate the different pods, there is plenty of signage indicating what trails will go to which base. Obviously, things will go better if you look at the trail map instead of navigating blindly, but the important turns are well marked. If something is labeled a traverse, they really do mean it's a traverse, expect to be walking/coasting. Gore is a terrible place for a boarder.
Non-express lifts are obviously, non-express. The North Quad and High Peaks Double will feel quite long. They don't have very steep liftlines, which means in addition to being not express, gaining vertical takes more runtime. They do serve nice pods though.
Unless it's freezing, I strongly prefer skiing off the high-speed triple than off the gondola for the lower mountain (the trails off the gondola to the top of the triple are nothing special and short), although I'm not sure if that runs in general midweeks.
Anyway, I like Gore. As far as trails go, trails at Gore actually have some character to them. There are also a lot of woods, and there's a surprising amount of "marked"/sanctioned drops and other roughness if you're looking for it. Gore has a massive leap in difficulty between single + double diamond runs, be very careful about checking out the double diamond runs before you hit them.
I will be lodging in motel Subaru. Is there a good place to sleep in a car? Rest Area, Trailhead, etc? I've been awakened and told to leave in ski area parking lots before so I'm a little hesitant to stay at the ski area lots.
The upper part of the Gore access road has signs indicating it is closed at night, I would presume you would be unwelcome. I would expect similar results in the lower lot or two below that sign. There is a rest area on the Northway/I-87 about a 5 minute detour off your route, and that's about 45min before Gore. (Coordinates: 43.280283,-73.67962)
Otherwise, I'm not sure. I'm sure there's plenty of places you probably won't get disturbed (Lake George is pretty dead in winter), but in terms of places it's actually allowed, I don't know.
It was a run down motel. Nothing more, nothing less.
