Mount Snow Key Knowledge: Big eastern ski area with good terrain variety in southern Vermont. Mount Snow can get crowded, as it's drivable from Boston and New York. It's a good bet for snow later in February versus some other south Vermont areas because half of the terrain faces north and will stay colder a few weeks longer.
