Thanks for the comment, Bill! I agree on the gorgeous comment. Nice views and a very private feel with really nicely cut trails. If only the mountain were twice as tall and twice as steep and got a little more natural snow, it would be the best mountain in New Hampshire.

T2, as I recall, is skier’s right of the summit chair about halfway down the mountain. It is the logical extension of Carter Notch Glade once you ski down around past the mid-station.

Black not only skis well on a powder day, but is drop-dead gorgeous. Seemingly a private reserve, the experience takes me back 30-40 years to a simpler time.

For the number of times I’ve been, I still for life of me don’t know where T2 is! Then again, I don’t look at trail signs, I just look for lines….

Nice reports.

p.s., on your secondary report, I’ve never seen the parking lot that full!!!

Thanks, David! The liftie working the Red Chair was extremely friendly and we chatted about how great the day was very briefly in the loading zone many times. You guys have a great crew and a great mountain. This reported was linked around to the northeast skiing forums and I have noticed some increased buzz about Black this season online. Glad to do my part in promoting an often over looked mountain that deserves more attention.

I was there, working, that day and sneeked a couple runs in that day.
Condition were awesome as usual, and please let the secret out about black mountain for all to enjoy because we love seeing you there.
