jgrybos@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Though the weather had some late season hot and cold flashes, Gor e’s slopes stayed cool enough for some skiing. About 1,000 visitors hit the slopes over the thre e-day weekend, a n umber i n l ine with last year ’s attendance, said Gore spokesperson Emily Stanton. The new snow guns ran Thanksgiving morning, but were unable to keep up when temperatur es climbed during the weekend. About 10 per cent of the complex’s trails wer e available for the weekend. They’ve had to close for the early week, but following snowmaking temperatures W ednesday night should be able to r eopen Dec. 2. “We’ll be working absolutely as fast as we can to get as much terrain available as possible,” said Stanton. This will be the first full Gore season with the interconnect and Hudson Lift available, giving the ski complex the sixth-longest vertical descent in the East, at 2,537 feet of elevation change along five miles of trail.
