The First Annual Red Parka Pub Junior Regatta took place on Black Mountain yesterday and was a smashing hit! There were two requirements to compete in the regatta; 1) the snow craft had to be hand made by its team and 2) the craft and its team needed to cross the start and finish line. Finish time was not a factor. Prizes were awarded to six teams in the following categories: Most Imaginative. Best Costume and Best Theme. The winning teams and participants were as follows:
Goldilocks and the Black Mountain Bears –Arianna Bauer
Black Mountain Bobsled Team (aka Black Mountain Race Team) –Matt Synnot, Cole Bradley, Finn Bradle, Will Glasson, Laura Hoy, Connor Hoy, Madeline Pettengill.
Luck of The Irish-Lily Vitale, Lauren Murray, Nick Murray, Matthew Murray
Freckle Express-Finn Van Rossum, Oliver Dirienzo, Jimmi McCarthy
Gilligans Island-Mae Van Rosssum, Liam Van Rossum, Cassie Doucette, Kyle Blakely, Emily Davis
Team USA Skull Force-Clemson McAuliffe, Griffin McAuliffe
Other events going on yesterday at Black included a deck party with a hot grill and cold beverages, live music with musician Sam Chase out of Boston, an Apres’ kids party and snow cat rides. Black Mountain is enjoying spectacular spring conditions thanks to the significant snow fall last week And has fantastic events planned every weekend for the remainder of the season, including deck parties, great live music, pond skimming and so much more.

I recently returned from my first trip to Black Mtn. I have skied for over 25 years and been involved in the ski industry for over 15 years. It was amazing to ski at an "old-style" New England ski area like I had grown up at. I heard the term "hidden gem" many times over those two days, but I would even call it a "lost treasure" as the ski area I grew up at is no longer in operation like so many others these days. Black Mtn. has some awesome unspoiled terrain with tight trails and glades, like areas used to have before the "clearcut it and smooth it out" movement in ski resort development. There are still wide open areas for beginners and they really cater to parents and the kids with special events to please both age groups. With lift ticket prices under $40 for an adult you can afford to bring the whole family too. Oh and by the way, people still hold a door for you, start a conversation on the lift, help somebody pick their stuff up when they drop it, say thank you, etc. It was amazing! I spoke to many of the staff and was equally impressed with the upbeat atmosphere so late in the season. In short (too late for that, I guess) I had an awesome couple of days skiing there. I'll definitely be back and bring more people, and I would never hesitate to recommend Black Mtn. Thanks again.
