Black Mountain, NH OPEN AGAIN more alive than ever

[Newpylong]

We got Davis and Ninnow open a little after lunch yesterday and they got Upper Beauty open the day before. In any given year Black usually only has 1 route down this time of year, not 2 off the top and a mix of others off the Platter and the J-Bar.

They aren't certain yet. 1,000 shares at $5000 was discussed. I think that's going to be tough.

As point of comparison, Mad River Glen has 2,200 shares at $2000 owned by approximately 1,800 individual shareholders

As much as I like Black, MRG is in a whole different league.

Here today. The trails are skiing well. Disappointing that the summit lift isn’t running but otherwise a very nice day to ski here.

Edit: May be wrong, it just started spinning.

It was extremely humid yesterday but we were hammering Chute, Valley Valley to Big Dipper on the west side. We also were running Lower Standard and spots guns on Juniper, Lower Beauty and Spruce. It should be one more night on the west side route to get that open and then all in on Standard.

Great pics thanks for posting!! Black is crushing the snow making game this season!

Anyone who hasn’t been yet this season, we were blown away by the groomers last Monday, absolutely superb skiing; we found no ice all day. Turned out the summit lift had a hydraulic leak in the morning but they had it open after lunch, which was an excellent surprise.

Heading up for a day next weekend.

I saw someone else say it looks like science fiction… and they are right, it does! Never seen whales that big at Black!

That's pretty crazy! Shooting for June?

Buddy is there today. I will be on Monday. Hoping for a few inches of snow Sunday night.

Was at Black today. Full TR incoming. Black is Back and better than ever. Best man-made show I’ve skied on in 20+ years there. Great product, friendly staff etc

This is pretty cool. I got a parking ticket at Wachusett a few years back...doubt they would have done the same!

 

[LoafSkier19]

Classy move! I really want to get up there on a Friday for one of those evening climbs.

 

[Killingtime]

Wow. A year ago this place was toast and the town is writing parking tickets to paying customers. Way to get repeat business. The town should be shaking your hand and buying you a free beer. I want to go to Black this year just to support their management for being freaking awesome.

And people said Black was the problem and not a few (not all) bad community apples....

Do I spy a Grizzly portable in HKD land?

 

[Newpylong]

Yep. We have probably at least one of everywhere except K guns there.
