4 Peaks
So all Gore's advertising says 4 peaks.... I'm totally drawing a blank, or is this more creative counting. I got Gore summit, Bear Mt, and Burnt Ridge. What is it the 4th peak?? I don't even see what could be considered another peak on the trail map. Is it the ski bowl?
:P

I think the top of Pete Gay is The Saddle. Originally Posted by Harvey44

fwiw, the map in the saddle lodge shows Pete Gay as one of the little hills behind the saddle lodge. Originally Posted by Spongeworthy

If Skye Peak counts as a separate peak at Killington, then Pete Gay counts at Gore. Either way, kinda lame Originally Posted by Snowballs

Pete Gay is not on the trail map. I've been told it was at one time a planned peak. The flanks of Pete Gay are within the intensive use area but the summit is owned by Barton's. There is a road up to the top of it and a cabin with propane heat that you used to be able to rent. We spent a new years eve up there in the early 90s and skied down with headlamps at midnight.
The summit is 3300 feet and it's the second highest peak in the area after Gore. It's the peak in the distance...seen here from the Hullaballoo (or LS?) headwall. You can see it most easily from the saddle lodge out the window.
