Adirondacks
Cabins at Mill Creek are five minutes to Gore Mountain.Ý
GORE MOUNTAIN IN THE ADIRONDACKS VALUED #1 IN SKI MAGAZINE FOR
OVERALL VALUE
Skiing has been a big part of the Adirondack winter scene ever
since the 1930's, when "ski trains" brought hundreds
of enthusiasts from New York to the North Creek Ski Bowl. In those
days, skiers were just hopping to escape the "Great White
Way" for a great white way down. Today, besides downhill
skiing, the Adirondack winter offers, snowboarding and snow tubing.
The downhill ski and snowboard centers of the Adirondacks will
give you all the speed, thrills, bumps and cruising you can handle.
Unless otherwise noted, all downhill ski areas offer food service
and have available rental equipment such as skis, poles, boots
and snowboards. All downhill ski centers also are open to snowboarders
and offer lessons.

Spring
events usually begin in May or even late April in the Adirondacks.
A favorite activity is to hike to foot of nearby Mt. Crane and
take pictures of the masses of snow thawing in the warm Spring
air. Others prefer to to participate in the annual Whitewater
Derby in Lake George. You don't have to be an expert to participate
in the "Crazy Canoe Race" but you will probably want
to be in good shape to try the "40 Mile Paddle". It's
fun to just watch also. There's also a street fair with games
and rides along Main Street and the Derby Music Festival at Ski
Bowl Park.
