Key Information

Mount Snow summer

Mount Snow (previously known as Mount Pisgah) is a mountain and ski resort in southern Vermont located in the Green Mountains. It is Vermont's southernmost big mountain, and therefore, closest to many Northeast metropolitan areas.

In September 2019, Mount Snow joined Vail Resorts' portfolio of 37 resorts and its Epic Pass, along with all other 16 resorts owned by Peak Resorts[1]

Mount Snow is home to Carinthia Parks,[2] which debuted in the 2008–2009 season. Carinthia is home to ten terrain parks, with both natural and man-made features and a superpipe. Mount Snow was co-host of the first Extreme Games in 1995 and host of the X Games in 2000 and 2001. Carinthia at Mount Snow claimed home to the second stop of the first annual winter Dew Tour as well as many other events including the Freeski Open and Carinthia Classic.

In the summer of 2011, Mount Snow installed a brand new Leitner-Poma high-speed detachable six-pack bubble chair. This lift transports skiers to the top of the mountain in seven minutes. The bubble shields skiers and riders from wind and snow and keeps them warm. If it is a warm skiing day riders can choose to leave the bubble up. As of 2022, Mount Snow has two high-speed detachable lifts from the base to the 3600-foot summit and a total of six high-speed detachable chairlifts, one leaving from the Carinthia Base Area, one leaving from the Sunbrook base area and four leaving from the Main Base Area.

History

[edit]

Entrepreneur Walt Schoenknecht, who ran the Mohawk Mountain Ski Area in Connecticut, visited Vermont in 1946 in search of an area to open a new ski resort. He climbed to the summit of Mount Pisgah, a Southern Vermont peak originally named after the Biblical Mount Pisgah. Despite Schoenknecht's hike being in October, the mountain had over a foot of snow. Schoenknecht, who wanted an area with more snowfall than further south but still accessible to New England's metropolitan areas, and with varying terrain over different faces, saw Mount Pisgah as perfect. In 1953, he purchased land at the foot of Mount Pisgah owned by a farmer named Reuben Snow, who would become the namesake for Schoenknecht's ski area and later the government-recognized name for the peak.[5]

In December 1954, Mount Snow opened to the public with five trails on the lower portion of the mountain, serviced by a rope tow and two double chairlifts. The lifts, named Little Beaver and Exhibition (later renamed to Standard), were chain-driven conveyor lifts built by Ramsey. Their unique design allowed them to carry significantly more skiers uphill than other ski lifts of traditional design. A total of six of these lifts were constructed over Mount Snow's first five seasons. Along with the original two were Summit (1955), Mixing Bowl (1956), Sap Bucket (1957), and South Bowl (1958). The last of these lifts to be removed was Mixing Bowl in 1997.[6]

Complaints over the chain lifts being loud and occasionally dripping grease on riders led to the mountain beginning construction of traditionally designed chairlifts, beginning with the Beaver and Sundance doubles, built by Carlevaro & Savio in 1960. The Sundance chair came along with the opening of the Sundance base lodge. Around this time Mount Snow began advertising itself as "World's Largest, Most Exciting Ski Resort." Walt Shoenknecht, who once said, "a skier won't let you stand still...you must provide something new, something tremendously exciting every year to get him back," designed many unique and expensive features. This led to some referring to him as the "Walt Disney" of Vermont.[7] Extravagant features included a Carlevaro & Savio tram from the nearby Snow Lake Lodge known as the Air Car, an outdoor heated pool, and a large fountain geyser in Snow Lake, which would form a small ski hill that would at times last past the end of the ski season.

For the 1959-1960 season, Mount Snow opened the North Face, an area of the mountain dedicated to expert terrain. The North Face double, a traditionally designed lift, opened in 1963 to service the area. The lift was later upgraded to a triple chair in 1987 and renamed to Outpost in the early 2000s.[8]

In 1965, Mount Snow opened the G1, a Carlevaro & Savio bubble double chair. Closer to a bubble chair than a gondola, it was built as a skis-on gondola due to Walt Schoenknecht not wanting to take his skis off due to back problems. A second gondola of the same design, the G2, was built for the 1969-1970 season.

In 1969, the Sunbrook area opened, a trail complex on the southern side of the mountain. It was serviced by a Carlevaro & Savio double chair named Sunbrook.

Financial struggles began to arise in the early 1970s due to low-snow seasons and increasing expenses. In 1971, Mount Snow merged with the Davos Corporation. Bankruptcy in 1975 led to a 1977 purchase by the Sherburne Corp., ran by the owner of Killington Ski Resort further north in Vermont. It was later rolled into S-K-I Ltd. (Sherburne-Killington-Investments) in 1984.

After the 1977 purchase, many featured deemed unnecessary were removed, including the Air Car, pool, and fountain. By this time, Mount Snow had built only double chairlifts, including the Carlevaro & Savio Snowdance double (1961, later renamed to Standard) and the Canyon (1971) and Ski School (1972, later renamed to Lower Sundance and then Seasons) doubles, both built by Hall Ski-Lift, along with the previously mentioned chairs. In 1978, under new ownership, Mount Snow constructed the Summit Triple (later renamed to Summit Local), its first triple chair, built by Yan Lift. In the 1982-1983 season, Challenger, a Yan triple, was added to the North Face. Two years later, the Sundance, Little Beaver, and Beaver double chairs were replaced by the Sundance and Beaver Yan triple chairs. In 1985, the G2 gondola was replaced by another Yan triple, Ego Alley.

In 1986, Mount Snow purchased Carinthia, a ski area directly next to Mount Snow on the same mountain. The trails were quickly connected. Carinthia had opened in the 1960-1961 season, built by Walter Stugger, who named the area after the Austrian state of Carinthia. Carinthia had numerous land disputes with Mount Snow throughout its time as an independent area. At the time of its sale, Carinthia had two ski lifts and a rope tow. Ski Baba, a Borvig-built double chair, was built in 1979, and Carinthia, another double chair, was installed by Riblet in 1983.[9] In 1987, Mount Snow replaced the rope tow with a Yan double chair named Fairway (later renamed to Old Ironsides for a short time and then to Heavy Metal).

In 1987, Mount Snow joined many of its competitors in installing a high-speed detachable chairlift, the Yankee Clipper quad, which was built by Yan. It replaced the aging G1 gondola lift.

In 1990, the Sunbrook area was greatly expanded. The original Sunbrook double chair, which was renamed to Beartrap a few years before, received minor upgrades. CTEC (now under Doppelmayr USA) installed the Sunbrook quad chair to service the newly expanded terrain.

In 1991, Mount Snow began a three-year lease of the Haystack Mountain Ski Area, a ski area a short distance away. They later purchased the resort entirely in 1994 for $4.35 million. Plans to connect Mount Snow and Haystack with trails and lifts via the Deerfield Ridge never came into fruition.[10] Haystack was sold in 2005 and closed to the public, becoming a private ski area under the name of the Hermitage Club.

Un Blanco Gulch, the first snowboard park in the east, opened in 1992 on Mount Snow's main base. The park featured jumps, a half-pipe, quarter hits, spines, wedges, banked turns, and a buried van. It was built by Tyler Doucette under the supervision of Chris Bluto. In the 2008-2009 season, all terrain parks on the mountain were moved to Carinthia, which became an area servicing only park trails, known as Carinthia Parks at Mount Snow.[11] In 2000, Mount Snow hosted the 4th Annual Winter X-Games. The Games returned to Mount Snow the following year.

In 1996, LBO Resort Enterprises purchased Mount Snow along with numerous other ski areas and was renamed to the American Skiing Company. The same year, Mount Snow installed its second high-speed detachable lift, the Canyon Express quad built by Poma, replacing both the Standard and Canyon fixed-grip double chairs. Along with the new lift, Poma heavily modified the Yankee Clipper lift. Accidents involving Yan detachables had killed three people between Sierra-at-Tahoe and Whistler Blackcomb due to poor grip mechanisms.[12]

In 1997, the Carinthia Riblet double was replaced by another Poma high-speed quad, the Nitro Express. The opening of the Grand Summit Hotel the same year led to the Beaver chair being relocated as Tumbleweed as the Sundance base and the moving of the Ego Alley chair's base terminal to slightly further uphill to make room for the new building. The Yankee Clipper, renamed to Clipper for the 1996-1997 season, was again renamed to its current name of the Grand Summit Express.[13]

Mount Snow's most recently built fixed-grip chair, the Discovery Shuttle, was installed in 1998. The lift, a Yan triple chair, was purchased from another resort, as Yan had gone bankrupt two years earlier after their detachable accidents.

In February 2007, Mount Snow was bought by Peak Resorts.

In 2011, Mount Snow replaced the aging Summit Local fixed-grip triple with the Bluebird Express, New England's first high-speed detachable six-pack bubble. The lift was installed by Leitner-Poma, who also renovated the Grand Summit Express the same year with terminal upgrades and new chairs.

On September 24, 2019, Peak Resorts, along with Mount Snow, was purchased by Vail Resorts, joining Vail's portfolio of 37 resorts and its Epic Pass.

Mount Snow's most recent chairlift changes occurred in 2022. The Sunbrook quad was replaced by a high-speed quad, the Sunbrook Express. The Sundance Express, a high-speed six-pack, replaced both the Tumbleweed and Sundance fixed-grip triples. Both lifts were installed by Doppelmayr.[14].

Mount Snow's Kelly Clark, bronze medalist of 2014 Olympic Women's half-pipe,[15] won the first American gold medal of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in women's half-pipe. She is a graduate of the Mount Snow Academy and the first athlete from Mount Snow to win an Olympic gold medal. Another Mount Snow Academy graduate, Devin Logan, won the silver medal of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi in the Olympic debut of slopestyle. Eliza Outtrim, who placed 6th in women's moguls, also attended MSA.

In January 2009, Mount Snow hosted the winter Dew Tour. It was the first action sports tour for winter sports and is owned and operated by Alli, the Alliance of Action Sports. Many of the top athletes in action sports from around the world participated in the Winter Dew Tour. Athletes such as Shaun White, Hannah Teter, Tanner Hall, Andreas Wiig, Gretchen Bleiler, Simon Dumont, Sarah Burke, and Travis Rice all vied for the Dew Cup, awarded at season's end.[16]

Mount Snow is made up of four separate mountain areas: Main Face, North Face, Sunbrook, and Carinthia. The Main Face can be divided into smaller areas named for its main chairlifts, most notably the Sundance base area, which features a lodge and two chairlifts, the Sundance Express and Seasons. At the base of Main Face is the Launch Pad, a learning area adjacent to the ski school's Discovery Center serviced by a triple chairlift, Discovery Shuttle.[18] The North Face, fittingly located to the north of Main Face, is home to some of Mount Snow's most advanced terrain, including its only double-black diamond, Ripcord. Opposite of the North Face on the southern face of the mountain, is Sunbrook, which offers scenic intermediate-level trails. Carinthia, which has its own base lodge, is home to the biggest terrain park in the east;[19] with 11 terrain parks, 125+ features, a mini-pipe and a superpipe with 18-foot walls. The parks range from expert to beginner-level features.

Over the decades, it expanded to include notable features such as eight terrain parks encompassing 100 acres at Parks, making it a hub for freestyle snowboarding and , as well as year-round activities like —where it pioneered lift-served downhill biking in the East in 1986. The resort has hosted signature events including Reggaefest, the Pond Skim, and the Brewers Festival, enhancing its appeal as a destination with amenities like a school, childcare, tubing, and après-ski options. Since 2019, Mount Snow has been owned and operated by , which has invested in infrastructure upgrades such as high-efficiency systems—including a 120-million-gallon pond added in 2017—and modern lifts like the Bluebird Express, the first six-passenger bubble chair in the East. This ownership has integrated it into a larger network of resorts, offering perks like the Epic Pass for multi-resort access, while maintaining its position as Vermont's southernmost major ski area, just 2.5 hours from and four hours from , drawing visitors for its blend of challenging glades, groomed runs, and vibrant community events.

Geography and Overview

Location and Access

Mount Snow is situated in the town of Dover, Windham County, in southern , within the range. As the southernmost major ski mountain in , it lies near the border with , offering convenient access to skiers from the Northeast. The resort's base elevation stands at 1,900 feet (579 m), rising to a summit elevation of 3,600 feet (1,097 m). The mountain's geographic coordinates place its summit at approximately 42°57′33″N 72°55′26″W. Accessibility is a key feature, with driving times of about 2.5 hours from and 4 hours from via major highways like I-91 and Route 100. Public transportation options include the Brattleboro Amtrak station, roughly 25 miles away, served by the Vermonter and lines, from which shuttles or taxis can connect to the resort. Albany International Airport (), approximately 65 miles distant, provides the nearest major air hub, with a drive time of around 1.5 to 2 hours. On-site parking is available and free in designated lots, with premium options for closer access; the MOOver shuttle service facilitates movement from lots to the base area and accommodates visitors from nearby towns. The resort is part of the broader Mount Snow Valley region, which includes villages like Wilmington, offering additional lodging and amenities within a short drive. This setup integrates the four mountain faces—Main Face, , Sunbrook, and —to provide diverse terrain accessible from the central base.

Terrain Features

Mount Snow forms part of the range within the of southern , characterized by ancient granitic bedrock formed during the era and covered in densely forested slopes dominated by northern hardwoods and . The resort's total footprint spans approximately 1,070 acres, encompassing both skiable and non-skiable areas, with the landscape shaped by glacial activity that left U-shaped valleys and erratics. The mountain's terrain is divided into four interconnected faces, each offering distinct topographical characteristics that cater to varying skill levels and provide a multi-peak experience with a total vertical drop of 1,700 feet distributed across them. The Main Face, located at the primary base area, features gentle slopes ideal for beginners, transitioning smoothly from the resort's lower elevations. In contrast, the North Face presents the steepest pitches, with ungroomed glades through forested sections appealing to advanced skiers seeking challenging, tree-lined descents. The Sunbrook face provides intermediate-friendly terrain with scenic, rolling pitches suitable for families, including options for bump skiing and un-groomed runs that enhance the natural mountain feel. Carinthia, the westernmost face, is dedicated primarily to and , boasting 100 acres of terrain parks equipped with jumps, rails, and creative lines amid wooded areas. At the heart of the resort lies the base village at 1,900 feet elevation, serving as a central hub with lodges, retail outlets, dining facilities, and ample parking to support access to all faces and facilitate the overall elevation gain. This layout allows skiers to explore variable pitches—from mellow base areas to steeper expert zones—while immersed in the ' wooded environment.

Resort Statistics

Skiable Area and Elevations

Mount Snow encompasses 601 acres of skiable terrain across its four distinct faces, providing ample space for skiers and snowboarders of varying abilities. The resort's reaches an of 3,600 feet (1,097 meters), while the base sits at 1,900 feet (579 meters), yielding a vertical drop of 1,700 feet (518 meters) that allows for varied descent options from gentle slopes to steeper pitches. The trail network features a balanced distribution by difficulty level, with 16% designated as beginner () terrain to accommodate newcomers, 66% as intermediate for progression, and 18% as advanced/ runs, though there is no separate category for extreme black diamond trails. This breakdown supports a progression-friendly environment, emphasizing intermediate cruising terrain that forms the bulk of the offerings. extends usability across 83% of the terrain (detailed in Snowfall and Coverage). Among the resort's 86 trails, the longest run is Long John on the Main Face, from to base and serving as an iconic green circle route for beginners seeking extended mileage.

Snowfall and Coverage

Mount Snow receives an average annual natural snowfall of 150 inches at the base, with greater accumulation at higher elevations on the due to the mountain's and prevailing weather patterns. This natural provides a solid foundation for the ski season, typically supplemented by extensive to ensure consistent coverage across the resort's terrain. The resort's snowmaking system is one of the most advanced on the East , covering 83% of its skiable area with over 900 high-output, energy-efficient snow guns, including more than 250 fan guns that represent the largest such fleet in . This infrastructure draws from a dedicated 120-million-gallon supplied by the West Lake Water Project on the West Branch of the Deerfield River, enabling reliable even during dry periods. Automated controls optimize the system's efficiency, adjusting for temperature, humidity, and wind to maximize snow production while minimizing energy use. Recognized as the East Coast's most powerful snowmaking operation, the system allows Mount Snow to produce substantial snow volumes rapidly, capable of establishing a full base across the terrain in under 24 days under favorable conditions. This capability plays a critical role in operational reliability, extending the ski season from late November to mid-April and maintaining open trails even in years with below-average natural snowfall. By bridging gaps in natural snow cover, the snowmaking efforts ensure a dependable experience for skiers and snowboarders throughout the winter months.

History

Founding and Early Years

Mount Snow was founded by Walter Schoenknecht, a former Marine and ski area developer who had previously established Mohawk Mountain Ski Area in . In May 1953, Schoenknecht purchased 500 acres on the lower slopes of Mount Pisgah in southern from the estate of local farmer Reuben Snow for $15,000, renaming the mountain Mount Snow in honor of both the landowner and its anticipated snowy covering. The resort opened on December 12, 1954, with a modest base lodge, two innovative chain-driven double chairlifts, a rope tow, five trails, and two beginner slopes, marking it as one of the early chairlift-served ski areas on the East Coast. In its early years, Mount Snow quickly embraced technological advancements to extend the ski season in the variable Northeast climate.
