May Skiing at Gore - May 1, 2022

These pictures were taken with my Motorola moto g6 phone and my Panasonic Lumix FZ80 on the way to and at Gore Mountain in North Creek, New York, on May 1, 2022. Gore was open in May for the first time, breaking their record for latest closing by over a week! How could I not go? Images are shown at a resolution of 800x600.
