Located in North Creek, New York, Gore Mountain is one of the larger mountains on this list offering up 103 trails and a 2,537 ft. vertical drop. NYC Snow Bus is again one of the best options since it one package includes bus, lift ticket, and rentals for only $174. Otherwise, lift tickets start at $78 for a 1-day pass during the weekday.

Gore, while also accessible by Adirondack Trailways, you can skip the bus ride and take Amtrak up up to Saratoga Springs and take a railway service to North Creek where Gore Mountain is.
