great place

This mountain is great - if it was bad I wouldn't ski there for 8 years. There is a great variety of slopes, plus Ripcord, which is basically cliff skiing in the east. If that isn't hard enough for you then try Plunge, the tree trail next to it. This place is really good!!

One of the best the East has to offer...

Obviously comapred to the West this mountain isn't all that great. But when limiting oneself to just the East coast this is one of the 2 or 3 best mountains there is.

There's a wide range of terrain for beginners and intermediates which makes it a great mountain for families, always uncrowded runs here and there, and lots of high-speed lifts -- especially compared to the 1970's.

Snow conditions vary from beautiful powder (occasionally) to hardpack with icy spots (more often).

when not crowded.....

Very wide variety intermediate to advanced terrain. Beginner areas are small and extremely crowded. During peak weekends from January through most of March, the mountain is extremely crowded as well and I would recommend staying away.

For the times that aren't crowded, Mount Snow offers many trails for experts. It has the best rated parks in the east (3 different terrain parks for beginners, intermediate, and advanced) as well as a mogul run with dedicated lift and speakers blaring metal off XM satellite radio (a definate experience).

Glades are also great when there is enough snow and the crowds havent found them yet.

Ripcord is probably their steepest and hardest trail, and is out of the way so you dont usually find too many beginners accidentally getting there.
