Ski Bowl Park Trail<br />

System <strong>2017</strong><br />

k1 Mile From<br />

Gore Mt!<br />

The Ski Bowl Park in North Creek is a four season destination.<br />

In the spring, summer and fall it is the starting point for 15 miles of<br />

hiking trails and 15 Kilometers of single track mtn. bike trails. In the<br />

winter the Park is operated by Gore Mtn. Ski Center which runs two<br />

lifts, the Hudson Chair and the Village Lift, to service great terrain<br />

and connect with the rest of Gore Mtn.’s alpine ski center. In addition<br />

to alpine skiing Gore Mtn. Ski Center makes snow and grooms trails<br />

for Nordic Skiing in the Bowl. The Park’s trail system also connects<br />

to 10 miles of “ride up, ski down” backcountry ski trails that have<br />

shuttle service provided by the North Creek Business Alliance on<br />

snowy weekends in the winter. Snowshoeing is available on the Ski<br />

Bowl Loop and Ski Bowl Connector trails.<br />

For the snowless six months of the year bikers and hikers have<br />

access to some incredible experiences. Don’t worry about getting lost<br />

the trail system has kiosks with large maps at the entrances and youare-here<br />

maps at key locations on the Ski Bowl Loop and color coded<br />

trail markers on each trail.<br />

Bikers - Have 15<br />

Kilometers of single<br />

track riding designed<br />

to give the intermediate<br />

and experts a variety<br />

of challenging experiences.<br />

1. Ski Bowl Loop<br />

Trail is the single<br />

track multi use<br />

trail that allows you access to the bike specific trails up on the<br />

mountain and to Main Street by way of the underpass on the<br />

Carol Thomas Trail to a cold beer and dinner in town.<br />

2. Trails Hoot and Alternative provide classic flowing single track<br />

with rock rides and lots of alternative lines.<br />

3. Heart Brake requires the technical expertise and physical fitness<br />

that old school experts enjoy.<br />

4. The Long Trail is the newest addition to the system and has<br />

the banks, rollers, tree gaps and momentum drops to make it your<br />

favorite ride.<br />

5. Ski Bowl Connector Trail climbs up to the Lower Raymond<br />

Brook Trail, with Lower Raymond Brook being a very fast expert<br />

downhill trail ending at the Rt. 28 trailhead which means<br />

you should ride down<br />

the north end of main<br />

street to get some cold<br />

hydration after the<br />

thrilling decent.<br />

6. On-the-Rocks is a sessions<br />

trail that has many<br />

technical rock riding<br />

challenges which insures<br />

you won’t ride it<br />

all the first time.<br />

7. Snakes Tongue Natural<br />

Terrain Park trails Mo<br />

and Curly have the momentum<br />

drops and high<br />

banked turns that will<br />

up your adrenalin level.<br />

8. New trail and upgrades are being added each year to give riders<br />

more riding and challenges.<br />

Hikers–Have 15 miles of trail to experience beautiful waterfalls,<br />

views and micro environment.<br />

1. The Schaefer Trail leads to beautiful streamside experiences<br />

of the waterfalls on Roaring Brook, which got its name for a<br />

reason, mountain view at the Reservoir and historic experience<br />

of walking through Ive’s Dam which was the hub of the 1930’s<br />

“ride up, ski down” trails. From Ive’s Dam you climb to the<br />

summit of Gore Mtn. to experience one of the best views of the<br />

southern Adirondacks.<br />

2. The Rabbit Pond Trail allows a nice loop walk when combined<br />

with the Schaefer Trail below the Reservoir and Ski Bowl Connector<br />

below the Raymond Brook Trail.<br />

3. The Ski Bowl Connector Trail is a easy uphill stroll which follow<br />

along the outlet of Rabbit Pond for a good portion of its<br />

length and then gives a good view of a large beaver pond before<br />

meeting up with the Raymond Brook Trail.<br />

4. The Raymond Brook Trail leads you up into the mountains<br />

on the backcountry ski trail. It is a little rough but will lead<br />

you to the Siamese Ponds Wilderness and Garnet Hill once<br />

you cross the Barton Mines Road.<br />
