Current Conditions and Weather(as of Monday, March 15, 2010 )
So when I showed up this morning at 6am we didn’t have power; not a good sign. It finally came back on at about 7:30am, so I’m running a little late this morning.
The good news is that we’ve picked up 9” of new snow in the last two days. Unfortunately, we also had some freezing rain that has iced up on some of our lifts. In addition; the wind is still strong causing holds on some lifts too.
We will start the day withh the following lifts. Things may (and probably will) change as the day progresses. We hope you will see an improvement but with precipitation in the forecast today, especially in the form of freezing rain, it could cause some more closures.
We plan to open these lifts at 9am:
#8 Tumbleweed
#28 Discovery Shuttle
#12 Ego Alley
#2 Nitro Express
The following lifts are on wind or de-icing holds:
#11 Grand Summit Express
#9 Canyon Express
North Face
Sunbrook
De-icing #9 Canyon Express is our priority this morning. We are also working on lifts on the North Face and Sunbrook. It is still very windy especially at the summit. There is a very good chance that we will be unable to open the Grand Summit Express today, even if we are successful with de-icing it. No guarantees; but we wanted to share our plan of action with you.
Today we will charge the afternoon rate for a full day ticket. Sun and spring live temps are moving in for the rest of the week, so the skiing and riding will improve as soon as we get past today!
St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, and Mount Snow has big plans to bring out the green in all of us! Lift tickets are only $17, so you start the day with a little pot-of-gold in your pocket! Then throughout the day there will be music, Irish food and drink specials, and entertainment (including a scavenger hunt for prizes!).
The Mount Snow Freeski Open is this weekend, March 20th and 21st. This event is open to men and women; with the slope-style competition on Saturday and super-pipe on Sunday. There’s $7500 up for grabs, so you know we’ll get some amazing skiers competing! We’re almost full, but you can register here.
We’re currently holding sales at our shops; 40% off kids and adult outerwear, 20% off all logo wear and up to 40% off Skis & Boots!

Truth in Snow Reporting
Our snow reporting goal is simple, transparency. No one should ever second guess what a mountain reports as its conditions, weather, trail surface or anything else. When you pick up a snow report at Mount Snow it should be trusted as if you wrote it yourself.
This is why over the past two seasons we have drastically overhauled our snow reporting philosophy. It began with a fundamental change to report percentage open as opposed to trails. It’s pretty simple, an acre is an acre but one trail can certainly be a lot different than another. We continued this season by revamping our trail map to what we believe is a more accurate trail depiction. When you ski from the top of the mountain to the bottom it should be on one trail, not a collection of upper’s and lower’s. We have reduced our trail count from 102 to 80. As well we no longer mark tree terrain, our trees are always open to those whose ability permits them to ride it.
In short, you come to Mount Snow for a getaway, not a hassle. Enjoy our 588 acres of the best quality snow on the east coast and know that when we say we have two feet of fresh powder we mean it. On the flip side when we say that it’s raining two inches, we’ll see you in Cuzzins for a drink!
