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.

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!
