Gore Mountain is also home to many unmarked Glades. For skiers wanting a real thrill, the snoppy is a steep run alongside Blue Square Foxlair. An easier run is Upper Mica, a run off the diamond Open Pit connecting to the Blue MIca Park. Another local favorite is Darkslide, a glade off Lower Steighang connecting with the diamond glade Darkside. Lastly on Chatimac Glades there is a bowl located outside the boundaries of the resort called East Wall.
