Soft & Smooth at Black Mountain, NH
by Sam Shirley
It seemed like spring skiing yesterday at Black Mountain in Jackson. It was sunny, with temperatures in the 30s and 40s. There were a number of novice through advanced trails open on man-made and natural snow. The East Bowl Triple, Platter Pull, and Rope Tow were the lifts that were open. Crowds were light, and there was never a wait for the lifts. It was another great day and Black continues to be one of my favorite mountains for a day of laid back skiing.
