Mount Snow Reviews & Tips (55)

Hadn't been to Mount Snow for 5 years. Back then I thought it was boring and not very scenic, being mostly intermediate cruisers with hardly any bumps or other interesting alternatives. This time I found the mountain MUCH IMPROVED with lots of bumps and scenic trails through woods while retaining a wide choice of easier groomed trails for people who prefer them. I will definitely come again.

Mt. Snow was great Mountain. This was my first time here and I'll defiently be back. I couldn't of asked for a better time plus Liftopia was offering the best deal very hard to pass up. Will be back next year :)

Mount Snow is awesome, they have so many good trails (north face) and many good glades, only the bluebird line is very long but you can go to the summit lift right next to it. Carinthia is a boss terrain park. Otherwise mount snow is the best mountain ever.

Mount Snow was awesome. We hit fresh powder and loved it. If you like to chat with other skiers the Bluebird lift is ideal. Consider skiing Stratton and Mount Snow because they're not that far apart.

Skiing this past weekend was great although some trail were closed, as they just picked up 11 inches, spring skiing should come end of april.

If you are going on the weekend, skip the bluebird express lift because the lines can be long. A hundred feet away is the uncovered 4 person lift that services the summit, which is equally as fast as the bluebird, albeit a little colder and windier but it has a fraction of the line that the bluebird does. With the uncovered lift, I never had to wait more than a few minutes to get on (half the time I didn't even have to wait) and I was able to get a ton of runs in even on a fairly busy weekend day.

Couldn't have been a better day for skiing at Mount Snow this past Tuesday! Picking up the tickets at the window was a breeze and SO worth the money. I would never pay full price ticket to ski at this point in the winter. Conditions were fabulous and the lift lines went fast - the new Blue bird lift is so comfortable and we never had to put the bubble down because the sun was shining and the temps were perfect!

Overall, not a bad mountain and we had a lot of fun. Killington is a little better, but further drive for us from PA. We stayed at Bear Crossing, so we could ski right back to condo if we wanted. The only negative thing I can say about Mt.Snow is about the bartender, who had a pony tail but has cut it this year (2013). Completely rude and lazy. We'd be standing DIRECTLY in front of him, money in hand, and he would ignore us. And we're not a bunch of young punks.

Mount Snow is a great place in Southern Vermont to ski and well worth a trip. I Got a fantastic deal on midweek tickets through Liftopia & it felt like we had the whole mountain to ourselves. Tips: Go mid week for great deals and no crowds. Free bag check in the lodge is great. $2 slope side Ski/board check is well worth it. Hit Grizzlys' for an Apres beer on the deck.

My sons and a friend, who are skiers, used the Liftopia learn to snowboard package to try snowboarding a couple of days ago. The instructor was great and the package was a terrific deal. They all had a good time and were able to make turns on the boards by day's end.

Great time and the snow was amazing. Three feet of new snow and the guns were running all day. Stay away from the bubble longest line during the weekend. All the mountain was amazing. Glades where filled with powder.

Mount Snow had lots of trails open and LOTS of fun things happening on St. Pattie's Day weekend! Fun people and the Bluebird Express lift was aweseome-fast, comfortable, and quiet....I recommend making a weekend of it though to get 2 ski days in and stay locally as there are many places within minutes of the Mountain. We stayed at the Inn at Sawmill Farm on Crosstown Rd. and it was fantastic!!! Highly recommended!!!

Bluebird Express was a nice lift but I prefer gondolas! Due to lack of snow there wasn't much change in terrain - even on black diamond runs. My husband and I arrived on March 10th and found the manmade snow to be ok but a lot of trails were super icy. Compared to the other mountains we've been to this year, I would say Mt Snow lacks in lift/trail signage and the ski/boarding etiquette. People will plow you right over and not think twice about it – people also pulled off the trails in the worst locations causing you to stop dead in your tracks (on far less than perfect conditions this is dangerous!) Not cool! We decided that our second day of skiing/boarding was going to involve their terrain park (Corinthia)…this MUST be the draw to this mountain. The park is incredible. Overall, unless I’m feeling the need for a terrain park I don’t think we’ll be back to Mt Snow. The whole environment lacked FUN and thrills…it was just an “ok” couple days. For short trips from MA – I’ll see you at Loon!

Can't say enough good things about the Bluebird Express and am telling all my skier friends to not miss it. Liftopia is a big help. I spread the word to my son, niece and nephew and they all just tried it. Thanks, we needed that.

great mountain, great skiing. wish they would open more lifts during the week, especially Sundance. I couldn't find a trail map anywhere. Finally found one in the base lodge, over by the cafeteria. why not put them by the doors, or at the ticket window?

Love Mt. Snow, learned to ski there about 12 years ago and enjoy going back every year. Particularly like their snow guarantee. If you don't like the conditions, show-up at guest services before 10:00 am, tell them you're not happy and they'll give you a voucher to be used anythime within a year; nice touch! This was also my frst time using liftopia, saved about $75 on a 3 day pass, I'll be back!

I enjoyed Mt Snow very much. I got a great ticket deal for Feb 29, 2012. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The indoor features ( restaurants, restrooms, ski/snowboard shops ) were very clean and inviting. The runs are so well laid out. I have been snowboarding since the boards were made out of plywood. Mt. Snow is top on my list from this season on.

Great mountain. Free bag check in lodge. Grumpy male bartender balanced by good food. Take your own helmet; $12 a day rental made me laugh out loud. The new Bubble Lift is awesome: 6 people at a time with a wind guard. Nice upgrade. We've been going to SN for abot 6 years.

Friendly staff, no wait for lifts. Had the mountain to ourselves on Monday. Considering the winter they've had, the slope conditions were good. Loved, loved the bubble lift. Liftopia prices saved us a few bucks too.

My tip is dont go to the mountain! If you decide to go whatever u do try not deal with guest services! If you do have to deal with guest services avoid Alex the asian fellow! He was extremely disrespectful and not curteous to me as a customer. On the other hand Liftopia ROCKS! They made up for the poor experience I had with guest services! Cant wait to give them my business again!

Loved it! Parking and lodge locations are not very intuitive from the street, but easy enough to get to the right place. Staff was friendly, lines were non-existant, and trails were a blast! Uncles was absolutely my favorite. Some of the runs were not open because of the winter we've had so far, but they made enough snow to make the day well worth the trip. Had first tracks on some runs. Can't wait to go back!

We love Mount Snow! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful this trip- I used the repair shop and was pleasantly surprised by their help. Also I had to use the help of the mountain staff to locate my son and he was reunited with me within 10 minutes. They were very helpful and supportive and definitely competent. All the people running the lifts were also very friendly. I would definitely come again.

went last week - good deal on the ticket and Blue Bird chair is super smooth, clean and "bubbly" - but due to lack of natural snow the cross trails/glades that connect the more vertical trails were closed :( - so basically skied the same few trails all day. Cuzzin's pub has nice atmosphere and views of the hill, reasonably priced beer on tap...

The Blue bird lift is so wonderful. Having the blue bubble to block the wind just makes skiing more fun! No more freezing on the lifts! You can stay out longer and enjoy the slopes. This was the best improvement ever. Congratulations Mount Snow, for knowing what skiers want and delivering!

Sherry Intermediate Skier
Can never go wrong with the north face. Absolutely never has a line for the lift, even presidents weekend. They leave usually half or more of the trails ungroomed, and Ripcord (the only double diamond) is one of the steepest headwalls in the east. Many of the single diamond trails on the north face, if placed at other mountains would be considered double diamonds.

Free bag check rocks. New chair lift coming with a wind shield. Move with the sun. Last 2 weekend were most righteous. East coast skiing is definitely west coast skiing. Skinny long sticks with killer edges as opposed to wide and rockered super long.

It was so crowded. I hope that along with the additional lift capacity next year, that Mount Snow also adds some additional runs. Otherwise its just going to be even more of a mob.

What an amazing mountain! Came up with a bunch of friends for St. Patty's Day and enjoyed the ticket price and slopes. PERFECT Spring riding conditions! The lifts were crowded, but it was to be expected with the holiday. Highlight of the trip was Carinthia. In all my years of snowboarding, I have never come across such a nice terrain park. A whole mountain dedicated to parks?! INSANE! I will definitely be returning to hit up all the goodness Mt. Snow has to offer!

Great place to ski, except Saturdays - too many bus/tours. The trails, slopes, snow making & grooming are fantastic. The staff are 1st rate, always helpful and you can't beat the FREE bag check area. Good pizza, burittos & beer in the base lodge. Been coming here for 25 years+ ...

Had great time! My 8 yr old son conquered Olympic (Black Diamond Run) and loved it. Conditions were good for spring skiing. Can't wait for the new bubble chair. I like the fact that boarders have their own mountain area to play on. Makes family skiing more relaxing and safe... See you there next year!!!!!

Mt' hit by freak ice storm the other day and only 3 lifts and about 6 trails open. Very limiting. Management should have comped patrons with some sort of voucher, nothing big but acknowledging how poor a product they offered that day. Would have made a nice impression. Thanks.

I love this mountain. I learned to snowboard here and the instructors were super helpful and very patient. There's many different trails on different parts of the mountain that you can try depending on your skill level. The North Face is great for Advanced, while the Main Face provides a number of blues and greens with varying difficulties. Also, Carinthia - a snowboard park - is perfect for those that want to pull a few tricks.

This resort is amazing with its wide open cruisers and generous amount of blue terrain. Fear not Advanced skiers the North Face should combat any steep slope withdrawals. Regardless it's a great family mountain and keeps getting better with regard to snowmaking since the ownership changed two seasons ago. Hope you give it a chance
