lonbordin Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'm headed to Mount Snow for spring break (March 15th through the 21st). I've condensed the advice about Mount Snow from prior BOL posts below*. If anyone has any additional advice or plans to be there let me know. *Definitely check out the Carinthia slopes for carving. (Upper Nitro to Titanium, Mineshaft) There are also quite a few other trails well-suited for carving: Snowdance, Southbowl (If open/groomed), Sundance. Mineshaft gets a bit steep, but it's usually well-groomed with a nice even pitch, and wide. Snowdance has always been a favorite of mine, especially in the spring. If you can, get to Carinthia early (IE-first chair) to beat the crowds, then as lunch approaches, work your way across the hill and then back again mid-afternoon for crowd-dodging.

WhiteHorse Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I was all over Mt Snow on Sat. There's plenty of wide slopes all over the hill. Sunbrook chair-Cloud Nine . Canyon Chair - Canyon, Snowdance, Ego Alley Chair - Exhibition. Have a great trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Been great so far... Met another hardbooter in the pro shop, great fellow. Then ran into a skwaler. He called my board a carving skwal which was different. Cold and windy tomorrow... After this past warmup the groomers will have to perform some magic... Not a first chair day.

He called my Coiler Nirvana (23cm waist)... A powder skwal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 How about some photos Dave? My first and only time at Mt Snow was also my first experience skiing classic "corn" snow conditions, spring break, late 1960's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm hoping to get some pictures of me in the next few days, maybe even a video. The conditions ranged from good to great. The groom was passable to good. I actually watched the groomers from the condo a few nights... single high speed pass just dragging the sweep... definitely got the feel their time on the hill is closely monitored. Not complaining, just stating facts. We had a great time and I wore myself out everyday. Here's a pic of my son that will have to do for now.

Bob L. Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) My annual Mt. Snow trip has me on the hill Sat. (4/4). Any conditions reports this week from locals would be appreciated :-) If conditions aren't carve friendly, I'll probably just bring a gutter stick and softies. Edited March 29, 2015 by Bob L.

Tugboater Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hit the hill last Friday with about 4 inches of freshies on it. They made it decent but you could see the groomer marks in the ice underneath. It carved nice though hopefully they pick up more natural stuff this week.

workshop7 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I grew up riding at Mount Snow. I love the place. I rode there one day a week for almost 9 seasons. My avatar pic was taken at Mount Snow this past April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower expectation :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
