Titus Mountain's summit reaches 2,024 feet, dropping 1,201 vertical feet to a base at 823 feet across 50 runs spread over 200 acres across three peaks near Malone in the northern Adirondacks, New York. Terrain splits 38 per cent intermediate, 34 per cent beginner, 22 per cent advanced and 6 per cent expert, with average annual snowfall of roughly 91 inches. The resort carries Indy Pass affiliation. Eight lifts, including six double chairs, serve the mountain alongside two triple chairs and two surface lifts.
Titus Mountain's genuinely unusual footprint across three separate peaks, close to the Canadian border in New York's far north, gives it a distinctly family-oriented, community-rooted character among the state's ski areas. Its extensive night-skiing programme and comparatively affordable pricing reflect a deliberate focus on accessibility for the surrounding rural North Country region.
The resort traces its origins to the late 1940s, when the John Johnson family in nearby Chasm Falls built a rope tow powered by the back wheel of a retired Buick sedan. The area, known as Moon Valley, opened to the public in 1960 and quickly became an important community recreation resource. In 1980, Paul Augustine purchased Moon Valley and renamed it Titus Mountain, growing the trail network to the mountain summits and introducing modern snowmaking, grooming and lift infrastructure over subsequent decades.
By 2011, Titus faced the prospect of being sold off for parts, with its Alpha lift and snowmaking guns destined for Pennsylvania, before the Monette family, local businesspeople with no prior ski area experience, purchased the resort and reversed its decline. Adult daily tickets run from 64 to 79 US dollars, with substantially discounted Friday pricing for military members.
Titus spreads 50 runs across 200 acres skiable of terrain. It leans intermediate at 38%, with 17 beginner runs to find your feet and 14 advanced or expert runs when you want to push.
The 2025-26 season at Titus Mountain ran from 20 December 2025 to 22 March 2026, a roughly fourteen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 91 inches. Season dates can shift depending on early and late-season weather in this far-northern New York location.
Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions to the resort's beginner-and-intermediate-weighted terrain across its three peaks. As an Indy Pass resort, Titus draws some visiting skiers holding that multi-resort pass alongside its core North Country community visitor base, given the mountain's remote location near the Canadian border.
Extensive night skiing extends the useful ski day for the surrounding rural Malone community throughout the season, reflecting the resort's family-oriented, accessibility-focused pricing philosophy. School holiday periods bring increased family visitation given the substantial beginner and intermediate terrain spread across the mountain's three peaks.
Specific event programming beyond standard operations and night skiing is not confirmed in available resort information. Since the Monette family's 2011 purchase, which reversed the resort's decline after facing potential closure, Titus has continued serving the North Country region much as it has since its origins as Moon Valley in 1960. The resort's community-rooted, family-friendly character remains central to its seasonal identity.
Titus Mountain sits roughly seven miles south of the village of Malone in Franklin County, New York, spread across three peaks with a base elevation of 823 feet and a summit at 2,024 feet across a 1,201-foot vertical drop over 200 acres. This far-northern Adirondack setting places the resort close to the Canadian border.
Malone, a small North Country village, provides local lodging, dining and services within a short drive of the resort. The broader North Country region offers extensive additional outdoor recreation, though the area's remote, rural character keeps visitor amenities more modest than in New York's larger ski destinations.
Local roads connect Malone directly to the resort, a short drive south of the village. Winter driving conditions in this far-northern region can include substantial snow and ice, and travellers should allow extra time given the area's rural character. There is no direct public transport service to the resort.
Specific nearest commercial airport details are not confirmed in available resort information, though the resort's remote North Country location near the Canadian border keeps its visitor base drawn primarily from the surrounding rural community and regional skiers rather than fly-in destination travellers.

Arizona Snowbowl advertised eight $1 lift ticket days this winter. Go looking and only three are showing - 10 March, 1 April and 10 April - so the rest may already have gone. The consolation is a calendar full of $9 days, including all but one day in April. Opening day is 20 November, weather permitting, and opening weekend is $19.

For years, Whitewater's Short Side was where you ducked a rope and hoped for the best: unmapped, ungroomed and unpatrolled. This winter it's inbounds. Six new runs of glades and fall-line skiing add 190 acres (about 77 hectares), taking the resort past 1,400 acres in total. F2 Logging spent a month in the trees to make it happen, and opening day is pencilled in for 4 December. Bonanza now needs less snow to groom, too.

Mammoth got its first snow of 2026-27 on Monday 28 September - and promptly lost it by Tuesday morning. Barely an inch fell at McCoy Station, but with opening day pencilled in for Friday 13 November, it's the first sign the Sierra is waking up. Last year's date slipped from 14 November to 20 November, so nobody's booking flights on a dusting just yet. Here's where California's early openers stand.

Four connected areas, 70 lifts and a World Championship course, yet Saalbach Hinterglemm still runs like a family holiday. Two days on snow and a Worlds Super-G later, here is who it suits, what the Ski ALPIN CARD covers and why Epic Pass holders should pay attention. Big on blues, light on steeps.

Sölden's World Cup opener has been two giant slaloms on the Rettenbach glacier for as long as most fans can remember. From 2027/28 it could be four. Director Jack Falkner wants to add two Super-Gs, backed by a nod from Vincent Kriechmayr, and turn the opening into a full week where the ski world gathers in the Ötztal. FIS and the ÖSV are yet to sign off. This year, it's still just the two GS races on 24 and 25 October.

Hokkaido's lift season now has dates. Sapporo Kokusai opens first on 20 November, Niseko United, Kiroro, Rusutsu and Furano follow on 28 November, and Kamui closes the list on 12 December. Everything hinges on snow, and with a strong El Niño in play, the JMA gives Hokkaido's Japan Sea side a 40% chance of below-normal snowfall. Honshu's Japan Sea coast looks shakier.

Switzerland logged 25.7 million ski days last winter, only 2.3% off the record, in a season that ranked sixth-warmest since records began. Revenue hit CHF 895.8 million, second only to 2024/25. Zermatt led on visits and takings, foreign guests hit a ten-year high, and 12 resorts never opened at all. Snowmaking, late storms and high altitude carried the numbers. Anything sitting at 1,000-1,200 m had a far rougher time.

Aspen Snowmass turns 80 this December, and it's marking the milestone with $3.75 lift tickets on the anniversary itself - the original 1946 price. A discounted long weekend, $19.46 dining specials, lodging deals up to 46 percent off, and a season of anniversary programming round out the celebration across all four mountains.
Titus's 2025 - 2026 season typically runs from December 20 through March 22. That window is roughly 92 calendar days, though daily operations depend on snow cover, weather, and lift maintenance.
Resorts in New York, Usa often announce firm dates closer to winter; check the live snow report before you travel if you are planning around opening weekend or spring closure.
Titus lists about 200 acres skiable of marked terrain spread across 50 named runs (81 hectares alongside 200 acres skiable). That footprint is what most riders experience on a lift-served day. Side-country or hike-to terrain may sit outside these published numbers.
Use the trail map to see how the mountain is laid out and where the longest fall-line runs connect back to base.
Trail grading at Titus breaks down roughly as 34% beginner, 38% intermediate, 22% advanced, 6% expert. The mix is balanced enough for mixed-ability groups, so learners can stay on marked green/blue (Green/Blue) terrain while stronger skiers peel off to steeper pitches.
Percentages describe the resort's published piste mix, not vertical feet. A mountain with modest "expert" stats can still feel demanding if the steep terrain is long or exposed. Read the trail map alongside these numbers when planning your route.
Titus operates 10 lifts across 3 lift types. The fleet includes 6 double chairs, 2 triple chairs, and 2 surface lifts.
Lift mix affects how quickly you can lap your favourite zones. Gondolas and trams move big crowds to mid-mountain, while shorter chairs and surface lifts often serve learning areas or local pods. Check the live snow report on ski days for real-time open/closed status.
Base elevation at Titus is about 823 ft (251 m), with the summit around 2,024 ft (617 m), giving roughly 1,201 ft (366 m) of vertical from base to top.
Higher start heights usually mean colder, drier snow holding longer into spring, but also thinner air and faster weather changes. Pack layers if you are riding from village level to summit lifts in one day.
Titus averages about 91 inches (231 cm) of natural snowfall per season. That is a long-term climate figure. Any single winter can run well above or below it depending on storm track and temperature.
For trip planning, pair this baseline with the live snow report and webcams: fresh cycles show up in overnight totals and summit cameras long before season averages tell you much about today's surface.

Yes. The downloadable PDF/image map is better for offline planning, marking meeting points, and understanding the full mountain layout at a glance.
Both versions are on the trail map page for Titus. If you are navigating with kids or meeting friends across separate lifts, screenshot or print the static map and keep the live map open on your phone for operational updates.
Titus sits in New York, Usa. That regional context matters for travel planning: airport transfers, snow tyres, and typical storm patterns all follow geography as much as resort marketing.
Browse nearby accommodation from the resort page if you are comparing village-base vs valley-base stays; where you sleep changes your first lift of the day more than most trail stats do.
