Tiny Adirondack Village Leads In Winter Sport Development
North Creek New York, a small Adirondack village with 703 residents, has installed the first electrically operated Constam T-bar lift in the eastern United States on Gore Mountain. The $70,000 venture, funded by locals, enhances a long history of winter sport leadership including the first U S ski patrol, the Ride Up-Slide Down slogan, and the state’s earliest snow train. The community, led by Dr James A Glenn Gore Mountain Ski Club president, trains children aged 5 to 18, runs annual Barton trophy races, and sustains a 86 member ski patrol affiliated with the national system, all set against Garnet mines and panoramic Adirondack peaks.
