Tiny Adirondack Village Leads in Winter Sport Development
North Creek New York, a small Adirondack town of 703 residents, has installed the first electrically operated gondola lift in the East on Gore Mountain. The project, backed by local fundraising, strengthens the town as a ski center with historic ties to American ski patrols and early downhill trails. The Gore Mountain network includes Garnet and Cloud trails plus a 1,400-foot tow for beginners, with ski lessons for ages five to eighteen and annual Barton trophy races.
