North Creek

Wild après.

If you’re looking for a real place, not a resort, make your way to North Creek. There’s plenty of adventure when you want it, and amenities when you need them. From trail to table, North Creek does not disappoint.

Visitors have been traveling here since the 1930s when snow trains carried winter skiers to town for turns at the ski bowl. The culture and the facilities have grown and improved year over year since then. Winter adventure didn’t start with Gore Mountain, it grew out of something older.

Perhaps that’s why the mountain, and the hamlet, both feel so authentic, you can still feel that origin here.

    Mouth watering goodness

From Hawkeye to the Hudson.

North Creek has it all: alpine skiing, whitewater rafting, rail tours, mountain biking, history, fishing, arts and entertainment, shopping, dining, and locals who embrace the notion of living in a four-season mountain town. Cozy cafés serve post-hike breakfasts, local pubs pour craft beers after a day on the slopes. It’s not crowded, but it’s not quiet either.
