Bib pick up:
Bibs and lift tickets will be in blue bags hanging on the NYSEF building front porch. One captain from each team is to come and pick up bibs. Our drive up window is located to the left of the front porch for any questions. Athlete and visitor rest rooms are in the base lodge.
Parent Tickets:
Unfortunately we have no parent tickets available this year. All tickets are online sales only. There is no uphill foot traffic allowed at Gore. NO DOGS.
Gore Lift Policy:
The Burnt Ridge Quad is a base area lift and thus requires a lift ticket for each chair ride. Your bib is NOT your lift ticket. Place your pass or ticket inside your speed suit so it is on your person at all times. Restraint bars are to be used at all times on this high speed quad chair. It’s the law!!
New Gore Policy, no sitting on ski poles while riding chair lifts.
