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!

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.

Bluebird lift is awesome.....if sunny, you can open shield. Bar automatically rises before you get off....

Get an early start and get parking and no lift lines.....After 9 am (even on a weekday), the lots can really fill up fast.....

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.

Overall decent mountain for intermediate skiers, north side is a good challenge... icy this time of year unless you have a warm day. Great Snowboard park! Pretty mellow place in the Spring.
