With a variety of family-friendly entertainment and activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy at this memorable celebration of the season.

Get a birds-eye view of fall foliage.

Gore’s four peaks are illuminated with a colorful autumn showcase, providing prime leaf-peeping opportunities. While this time of year excites us for winter, there’s plenty of foliage and activities to enjoy on the mountain before the snowmakers get to work.
