Question for the Mount Snow experts

[carbonXshell]

wondering if the Handle to Haystack route is paved all the way. I remember 15 years ago there was a section that wasn't... has it changed?

 

[Talisman]

Yes the Handle Rd is paved. No, I'm not a mt Sneaux expert.

I know Handle and Haystack are paved... it's the roads in between i'm asking about.

Yup 2 point something miles of glorious VT asphalt between the 2, and atleast as of last weekend, the frost heaves/pot holes aren't too bad

Thanks drjeff... was it Mann that had the dirt section?

No problem. The only dirt you'll encounter these days between the two(aside from DOT spread sand) will be in the immediate base area parking lot @ Mount Snow and then all the way up the Haystack entrance road, shortly paste where the lower mountain lodge used to be

my fault... I should have explained it better... there's an alternate way to get from the mountain to route 9... Handle/Coldbrook Rd. to Mann Rd. to Haystack Rd... it's around 6 miles... 15 years ago there was unpaved section along this route... I wanted to know if it's still dirt or not.

No dirt, it's all paved now. We took that way this past Sunday.8)
