 For those living in the Northeast’s major metropolitan areas such as New York, Albany and Hartford, Mount Snow, in southern Vermont, with a summit elevation of 3,600 feet, is renowned as the closest big-mountain resort.
Along with the free-spirited crowd, Mount Snow is a big draw for families for both the terrain and the price. The mountain’s ego-boosting trails are long, undulating cruiser runs, where kids can learn and parents can enjoy their turns. The nine sections of gladed terrain—regularly thinned and pruned—mean even intermediates can feel “extreme.” New ownership in 2007-08 has meant a new committment to snowmaking throughout the resort. |
Thanks in part to local gal Kelly Clark winning gold in the halfpipe at the 2002 Olympics, Mount Snow is attracting the hip—the freeriders who want to see action and be part of it. Events like a snocross (snowmobile motocross races) and ridercross series bring thrills and spills to the resort. While snocross is all about spectating, anyone—skiers, snowboarders and skiboarders—can enter the NASTAR races. Big Air and freeskiing competitions—with names such as Mother Hucker and Anti-Gravity Grail—also dot the winter calendar.
