The Overview

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.

The Terrain
50 runs across 200 acres skiable
Titus Mountain spreads 200 acres (81 hectares) over three peaks near Malone in the northern Adirondacks, close to the Canadian border. The 50 runs drop about 1,200 ft (366 m) from a 2,020 ft (617 m) summit to a base at 820 ft (251 m). Intermediates take the biggest share at 38%, followed by 34% beginner, 22% advanced and 6% expert. Six double chairs, two triples and two surface lifts serve the three peaks, so skiers spend a fair bit of the day riding slower chairs to move between them.
Ridge Run, Pine Run and Bridge Run are among the named trails, and Moon Valley recalls the area's earlier name. Recent additions include glades at each level, from green circle to double black diamond. Two terrain parks, one for novices and one advanced, sit under the lights. Titus bills itself as the only Adirondack ski area with night skiing, with lights on the lower mountain. It suits families and regional skiers looking for good value and long runs on a friendly mountain, though visitors chasing steep terrain should expect modest challenges.

When to visit Titus
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.

Getting there
Getting to Titus, and where to stay
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.

Frequently asked
When is Titus's ski season?
Titus's 2026 - 2027 season typically runs from December 5 through March 28. That window is roughly 113 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.
How much skiable terrain does Titus have?
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.
What is the terrain like at Titus?
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.
How many lifts does Titus have?
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.
What is the elevation and vertical drop at Titus?
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.
How much snow does Titus get each season?
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.
Does Titus accept the Indy?
Titus is affiliated with the Indy. Pass holders should confirm current season benefits, blackout dates, and reservation rules on the pass issuer's site. Policies change year to year and can differ between international and domestic products.
If you are not on Indy, day tickets and multi-day bundles are still available; see the lift tickets page for published rates and purchase links.
Where can I buy Titus lift tickets and how much do they cost?
Published single-day adult pricing on SnowStash currently spans US$30 to US$79, depending on date band and whether you are buying peak or regular windows. Multi-day products (season passes) usually lower the per-day cost if you are staying several days. Tickets can be bought online through the resort's official checkout (linked from our lift tickets page) or at on-mountain ticket windows, subject to availability.
Buying ahead of peak holidays and weekends generally saves money and guarantees access on sold-out days. Before you commit, scan the snow report and webcams so you are paying for conditions that match your expectations.
How can I check snow and mountain conditions at Titus before I go?
SnowStash pulls together 2 live mountain webcams, a downloadable piste map, and the daily snow report for Titus so you can plan from home. Webcams refresh on a short interval and are the fastest way to judge visibility, wind exposure, and whether storm snow is still falling.
The snow report adds structured totals, base depth where available, and lift/trail status when the resort publishes it. Use both together: cameras show what it looks like right now, and the report summarises numbers your group can compare day to day.
Does Titus have a trail map?
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.
Where is Titus located?
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.

Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling
The Val Gardena-Alpe di Siusi lift link isn’t dead after all.

Utah Snow Storm Builds Early-Season Base Ahead of November Openings
Rain down low, snow up high, and a snow report full of zeros that mostly means ‘not updated yet’. Utah’s first proper storm of 2026-27 is rolling through the Wasatch, Snowbird’s snow stake is closing in on 10 inches, and Brian Head is five days from opening day. Early November snow rarely looks like much, but it is the layer every November opening date is built on. Here is where it stands.
