Sundown Vs. Mohawk

[RSTuthill]

are Mohawk and Sundown really in serious competition with each other?

they really do seem to be two very different places, attracting different crowds.

Don't know what exactly you mean by different crowds, but lets face it, geographic proximity is the name of the game for both. It's really convenient to get in a good half day workout at a place close by. That's why people go to both.

what i meant by different crowds was that Sundown is big on terrain features: parks, pipes, rails, jumps and bumps while mohawk is "more traditional". both have racing of course.

i think Sundown is catering/marketing to the younger crowd who want "cool stuff". i skied both places this year, enjoyed them both.

I like Mohawk's character. Combination of Mount Snow (the mountain the founder of Mohawk later went on to build) with the wide, "super trails". And narrow, twisty, and unfortunately short New England trails. The current owners are putting a ton of money into the place- all lifts except one have been replaced in the last 5 years. Yes it lacks a terrain park, but there are rumors that that will change soon. I'd like it, the trails have a good pitch, length, and width to put up some features and jumps.
