I've never skied at Black, but from the looks of the mountain, it must have some great terrain and a very unique feel. Another ski area to place on the must ski list! Here's some pictures..... Black Mountain - Jackson, NH - 2005-03-04 BTW, at 3pm Friday there where a total of 15 cars in the lot.... __________ "Freedom often leads, but responsibility always follows close behind."

I was actually surprised that they only groomed 1/2 the mountain. I'm going there again this weekend; possibly another Pow day? I love the fact that you can get there after 10:00, still park right infront of the lift and ski with no crowds all day on a Saturday. Oh yeah, the $32 lift ticket is pretty nice too. Places like Black, Burke, Magic, Beast, etc make me wonder if the ski industry's claim of how "they make no money" is true. These places stay in business year after year( granted some barely make it), never have huge crowds and charge about 1/2 what the big corporate places charge. It's kind of like MLB when they claim they make no money

We make it a point to ski there at least once a year. Every one I take there likes it ba lot. However, ski it soon as they lose snow quickly. They are generally closed somewhere between 3/17 and 3/30 if I remember correctly.
