SNOW GUNS BLASTING ON BLACK MOUNTAIN


The snow guns are working overtime with more terrain opening every day on Black Mountain. This shot was taken this morning on Upper Jackson Standard. Snowmaking on the mountain's west side is about 90% complete.

SANTA SITING ON SLOPES OF BLACK MOUNTAIN


We could hardly believe our eyes either at first but it was true....Santa spent the day at Black Mountain. After a great day on the slopes he headed to the base lodge where he handed out gifts to all of the children, trimmed the Christmas tree and joined in caroling with the very talented Jackson Grammar School Choir. There is always something fun going on at Black Mountain!

BLACK IS WHITE!

The day we've all been waiting for finally arrived! Despite the slow start with above normal temps, the thermometer has finally dropped and our snowmaking team has been working around the clock! Mother Nature jumped in on the fun early this morning and the snow has not stopped falling all day! A foot is predicted by the time it's all over late tonight. Opening day is Friday, December 18th with $10 all day lift tickets!

CHANGING OF THE GUARDS...

As the wind blows the last of the leaves from the trees and the hint of snow lingers in the air, the familiar signs are all around us....Mother Natures 'Changing of the Guards'. And, of course, we all follow her lead in great anticipation! The seasonsal horses at Black Mountain Stables headed back to their farm in Vermont this week, wrapping up another successful season. And without missing a beat, the Black Mountain crew switched gears to begin gearing up for what we all know is just around the corner! Fencing is being removed from the pastures, new trails are being cut and lifts are receiving their routine service. Opening day will be here before you know it so be sure to get those seasons passes before the November 1st deadline and save $100 per pass! Can't wait to see you on the mountain!
