Wonderful runs, tons of options, great freestyle park….just great all around!
Hey all! I just got back from a weekend trip to Mount Snow and I can’t rave enough about this mountain. Nowhere near as crowded as Killington, and it had amazing runs. Tons of intermediate runs for someone who is past the greens, but really great long green ones to challenge even the most advanced rider.
I got to see the amazing Dew Tour setup, and their Carinthia park was unbelievable.
Tons of powdery snow, fast lifts, great weather. An overall WONDERFUL experience.
