to be fair, the moutains in VT have seen much more snow than Gore this year. Most VT ski areas are reporting 12-24+ inches of snow this weknd. Gore is reporting no new snow.
even earlier, much before this storm, those mountains had about the same trail count. and withing the first 3 weeks of opening day for each mountain, gore had 12 or so, and i remember seeing both stratton and killington at 40+. yes they do get more snow, but not that much more.
