Gore Mountain Ski Resort is a fantastic place to spend some time this summer, and it’s only 20 minutes from our hotel. Whether you’re looking for an exhilarating mountain biking adventure or a scenic hike, Gore Mountain is the perfect place to start. Here are some things you can look forward to this summer:

  1. Hiking is one of our favorite ways to explore the extensive trails at Gore Mountain. There are 14 miles of trails here, and they range in difficulty, too. You can find relatively easy hikes through the woods or challenge yourself to summit one of the peaks.
  2. Gravity-fed mountain biking is incredibly popular at Gore Mountain during the summer and fall. The 1,700 vertical feet of descent make it some of the best mountain biking in Upstate New York.
  3. Gore Mountain Ski Resort also has one of the best disc golf courses in the Adirondacks. The trails are accessed via the Skyrides, which kick off for the season at the end of June.
  4. Scenic Skyrides on the gondola typically start at the end of June and run through October. This is a relaxing and easy way to enjoy the stunning natural scenery of the Adirondacks. You can even use Skyrides to get to the top, where you can enjoy a bit of easy hiking or picnicking before heading back down.
  5. Gore Mountain Ski Resort hosts summer events like live music, an auto showcase, and a community day with discounted Skyrides. Enjoy live music, food trucks, yard games, and more.
