Pot of gold on Black Mountain?

Well... the pot of gold has yet to be found but we do consider ourselves pretty lucky to witness sitings like this double rainbow on a pretty regular basis here on Black Mountain . So for those of you who only make the trek up this way when the mountain is white....we're here to tell you there are many more colors than just white, to explore at Black!

Yesterday on Black Mountain.....

Okay, so if this keeps up we may have to consider summer skiing!

Kidding of course, but we did think those of you picking flowers from your gardens might get a kick out of what it looked like in Jackson on April 28th. Granted, by noon it was half gone, but it didn't change the fact that we woke up to nearly a foot of snow yesterday morning. Quite the sense of humor Mother Nature!

Despite these random snow events, Spring has sprung early here just like the rest of New England and the pastures are growing at a rapid speed. Which, of course means that horseback riding is just around the corner, so be sure to stay tuned because from here on out, I will be blogging about horses and summer fun...and snow will officially be taking the back seat until next Fall!

Snow Anyone??????

Today, it's pretty hard to believe that temps climbed to 80 degrees back in mid March! This photo, taken earlier this morning at the base of Black, does remind us why we love New England...it's never boring!

RED PARKA REGATTA TODAY!!!

Red Parka Regatta Today!!! No lift service but lifts are NOT needed for a great time today! 55 degrees, sunshine and most definitely comedy on tap for this event! The grill will be hot, the Harpoon cold and the laughs many! Open on Saturday with $25 all day lift tickets!!! See you on the mountain!

WAIT...THIS JUST IN....BLACK IS BACK OPEN!!!!

Okay....I know what you're thinking....'I know they are all crazy up at Black but this crazy? Well, the answer is yes, we are! We all united and decided that Black Mountain was not going out with a whimper... it's just not who we are! So....this is the FINAL FINAL answer...coming straight from the top... we WILL be open this weekend. Bring your skis, bring your boards, bring your best party attitude...but whatever you do -just bring it! Due to the chilly temps we still won't be doing the pond slide but we will be going out Black Mountain style... rippin it up!!! So we will see you on the mountain for the real last hoorah!!!!!
