    The Overview

    Michael Fulton
    Melbourne-based skier and snowboarder with 50+ resorts across 5 continents. Specialises in Australian resorts and international resort comparisons.

    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.

    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.

    Aerial Tram Collides With Crane at Alpe d'Huez: 23 Injured

    An aerial tram carrying around fifty passengers struck the boom of a construction crane on the route to Pic Blanc at Alpe d'Huez on Wednesday morning, injuring 23 people, three seriously. The cabin tipped on impact before the operator reversed it to right the car. Most of the injured were treated on site, with five taken to hospital in Grenoble, including a pregnant woman assessed as a precaution.

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    A deadly flood on the Nepal-China border, a decade-old tragedy on Italy's Marmolada, and an unstable glacier right now above a village near Zermatt - three very different mountain ranges, the same underlying story. Warming ice is destabilising terrain that was considered settled for generations, and the results range from catastrophic floods to slow-motion monitoring situations that could go either way.

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Tyrol's highest ski area is gearing up to open a full month ahead of most of the Alps. The Pitztal Glacier is scheduled to start its 2026/27 season on Saturday 26 September, running through to 2 May 2027, with the lower-altitude Rifflsee area following in December. High-altitude terrain up to 3,440 metres gives the glacier a head start on snow, though as always, the actual opening extent will depend on how September's weather plays out. Early online ski pass bookings can save up to 30%.

    Unstable Glacier Above Randa Puts Zermatt-Area Village on Alert

    Unstable Glacier Above Randa Puts Zermatt-Area Village on Alert

    A hanging glacier above the Swiss village of Randa, just south of Zermatt, has been shedding large chunks of ice for weeks, with authorities warning more break-offs are likely. A danger zone has been closed off since June, though officials say the village's 479 residents aren't at risk. It's a familiar pattern for this glacier - it's done this before, in 1819, 1972 and 1973 - but a reminder of how closely Alpine authorities now watch terrain once considered stable.

    Thredbo Is 'On the Table' as EVT Reviews Its Whole Business

    Thredbo Is 'On the Table' as EVT Reviews Its Whole Business

    Thredbo is officially 'on the table.' EVT Limited, owner of Australia's most decorated ski resort, has hired Rothschild & Co to review its entire corporate structure - and confirmed Thredbo isn't off limits, even as it books a stronger year of earnings. The resort's own valuation has nearly halved after a brutal 2026 season, and speculation is already running toward Vail Resorts, Alterra, or a New Zealand operator picking it up. Here's what EVT actually said, and who could buy it.

    Ski-E-O! Is the Ski Resort Tycoon Game We Didn't Know We Needed

    Ski-E-O! Is the Ski Resort Tycoon Game We Didn't Know We Needed

    I'm not a gamer. I'm a skier and snowboarder who happens to have a laptop. So when a ski resort management game called Ski-E-O! landed on Steam, I wasn't expecting to lose an afternoon to it - but here we are. Real mountain terrain, a full weather system, storms that roll in and wreck your snow base, avalanche danger, and enough depth to make RollerCoaster Tycoon feel simple by comparison. Early access lands in November. Here's what a few hours in the free demo actually looks like.

    Sugar Bowl, California, Rebuilds Its Historic Village Gondola

    Sugar Bowl, California, Rebuilds Its Historic Village Gondola

    The rumours are true: Sugar Bowl is tearing out its Emerald gondola, in place since 1983, and replacing it with a new 8-person Doppelmayr system - nearly doubling uphill capacity to 1,800 people an hour. It's the fourth generation of a gondola line that dates back to 1953, when Sugar Bowl became the first resort on the West Coast to run one at all, and it's just one piece of a $100 million overhaul touching lodges, parking and snowmaking. Here's what's changing, and what's staying the same.

    Two Confirmed Dead as Search Continues After Swiss Alps Fire

    The death toll from Thursday night's fire at Restaurant Beverin in Thusis, Switzerland, has begun to firm up. One Swiss outlet, citing Graubünden Cantonal Police, reports that two of the five people initially reported missing have now been confirmed dead, leaving three unaccounted for. The building's collapsed stairwell and structural instability have slowed recovery efforts throughout. Here's what's changed since the fire broke out, and what's still unconfirmed.

    Lift system

    Titus Mountain runs eight lifts: six double chairs and two triple chairs, serving 50 runs across 200 acres spread over three separate peaks near Malone, alongside two surface lifts. This considerable lift count relative to the resort's acreage reflects its distinctive multi-peak layout.

    The lift network traces back to a single rope tow built by the John Johnson family in the late 1940s, powered by the back wheel of a retired Buick sedan, a resourceful beginning for what became the Moon Valley ski area upon its 1960 public opening. Paul Augustine's 1980 purchase and rename to Titus Mountain brought substantial modernisation, growing lift infrastructure to reach the mountain's summits across all three peaks.

    By 2011, ageing lift infrastructure, including the resort's Alpha lift, faced removal and sale to Pennsylvania before the Monette family's purchase reversed the decline and reinvested in the mountain's future. The six double chairs now form the backbone of the network, distributing skiers across the resort's beginner-and-intermediate-weighted terrain across all three peaks.

    The two triple chairs and two surface lifts provide additional capacity and beginner-area access, supporting Titus's extensive night-skiing programme. Specific recent individual lift replacement projects beyond the Monette family's 2011 rescue are not confirmed in available resort information. The resort's unusual three-peak, eight-lift configuration remains distinctive among New York's ski areas.
