I have never been to Mount Snow but have heard a lot of good things. They open up on Saturday December 10th and I was thinking about day tripping it from Northern, NJ.

Has anyone ever been there? Does it get crazy crowded on the weekends?

I don't expect anything close to great conditions. I just do not want to wait on lift lines all day, especially if the conditions are pretty crappy.

It's a nice place and usually not too crowded but it's going to be their opening week end so it could be pretty packed.
As for the conditions, they definitely won't be that great.

Going to Stratton myself, we'll see how that goes.

I'll be there, need to pick up my season pass anyway so I can hit up the other mountains it includes. Weather is cold and should be cold for a few days, they got 2.5-3" of natural last night.

I'll be wearing this jacket and black pants so if you see me don't be afraid to say hi.

Basso,

I saw something on the website about the season pass that includes Five mountains or something. What other mountains does the season pass include??

Ya man I will keep my eyes out for that jacket and definitely say whats up if I see you.

I will be wearing

Mines the higher ed pass for college students. Has mount snow, wildcat, attitash, crotched, and jack frost big boulder. Great deal if you're a student around here.

I'll keep an eye out for ya.

Hunter is closer to you than Mount Snow. We havent really gotten any snow in NY, so I'm not sure how the conditions will be.

Basso,

I decided to wait until next Friday to hit up Mount snow as my first riding day of the year.

Did you go today? If so how was it?

Thanks


Gangsta

Yeah man I went up. Surprisingly the 6 person quad did well! Kept the line relatively short. I was there from 9 to 1, and never waited more than 5ish mins in line. They had 2 top to bottom runs open, water bars were still pretty big and made for decent kickers which was cool. Started getting scraped to ice near the summit around noon, and some moguls started forming at the end of the day. Didn't venture into the park but heard they had about 9 features set up.

I would say they did a pretty good job for what we have had up here. I may head up again next saturday or sunday.
