Mount Snow is Vermont’s closest major resort to people living in and around most of the northeast’s bustling metro areas making for a short drive to real, big mountain skiing.
Founded in 1954 by National Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame member, Walter Schoenknecht, Mount Snow quickly became one of the most recognizable ski resorts in the world. Today, Mount Snow is owned by Peak Resorts which has invested more than $25 million in capital enhancements since the spring of 2007. The marquee elements of those enhancements are the installation of more than 250 high output fan guns – the most of any resort in North America – giving Mount Snow one of the most powerful and efficient snowmaking systems in the industry. And, making its debut in the winter of 2011/2012, the $8.5 million Bluebird Express – North America’s only six passenger bubble lift.
