Wow...truth in advertising.

I haven't been to Mt Snow since I was a kid, but I have a feeling I'll be there this year at some point.

... Question that came up for us - if Olympic is roped off, can the Trials still be accessed without reprecussion? From where we enter, we had to duck the rope quite a few times to get to them (since Olympic was closed so often).

+1 I would like to hear an answer to this one too!

Thanks again. Hopefully I'll have a trip report sooner than later...................last couple of years the woods have been great even before Christmas. Those previous picks are from 12/21/08!
I'll let you know when I'm coming up so I can buy you a Guinness too. You'll have to bar hop because unlike drjeff, I'm more of a mellow Timberhouse guy - hanging out with Leo and Alice.......................

You got a deal. I hope to get out there and enjoy some of those trees with you as well as the Guinness!

I believe that was the policy last year as well. Question that came up for us - if Olympic is roped off, can the Trials still be accessed without reprecussion? From where we enter, we had to duck the rope quite a few times to get to them (since Olympic was closed so often).

While the trees are always open if the trail to get to that section is closed it is not accessible and it’s not okay to duck the rope. Sorry you will just have to wait for Olympic to open up.

Cool! They seem to have been updating the overall look every so often as of the past year or so.

Well then, if the trees are always open, I guess our mission for this year is to start looking for other access points. Thanks! . :wink:

Have to find a way into the Trials above Olympic through the woods. I'm sure it's doable. Silly rules!!

I think I've ducked the Olympic rope more than any other rope... just for the Trials. Did it Easter weekend last year... Trials were almost midwinter conditions yet Olympic required walking...

Cool! If I were closer I'd definitely head up for some turns.

*Some* turns are the key word. Just the beginner hill and its lift that has only 15 chairs on the entire line (trust me the only way I know the exact number of chairs on that lift is from my kids lapping it incessently before and after their lessons ) Lift served, yes, some features set up, yes. Donations to the food pantry accepted in lieu of $$ for a lift ticket - yes. Very cool - yes!! It's amazing what 9 Fan Guns and not a lot of hours of cold air can do!

And here is what the beginners hill looks like from Mount Snow's web cam (which MS kindly repointed at DrJeff's request).

I fully understand that, otherwise I'd be driving up from CT just to hit it...

Despite that it's the bunny hill it's still really good stoke for area skiers and it gets people thinking about skiing. Donating all the proceeds to the food pantry really tops it off IMHO. :beer:
