Titus
200 acres, 50 runs across three peaks near Malone. North Country family skiing, Indy Pass access.
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 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.
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.

Europe’s ski season is open, technically. After a record-warm summer, glaciers in Austria, Switzerland and Italy are running a few pistes apiece, Sölden, Stubai and Kitzsteinhorn started late, Titlis has pushed back to 24 October, and Zermatt reopens a few lifts on 14 October after more than two months shut. Finland’s Levi and Ruka are skiing on stored snow. Here is what is open, and what you actually get at each.

Zermatt is having another crack at a World Cup downhill, and this time nobody has to cross a border. Around 13 million Swiss francs is going into rebuilding the Gornergrat piste, including a jump fed by a roughly 300-metre in-run across the roof of the Gornergrat Railway gallery, with the Matterhorn lined up behind it for the TV cameras. First men’s race is pencilled in for March 2028, pending FIS homologation.

Lake Tahoe’s highest base elevation is paying off early: Mt. Rose has started making snow for 2026-27 after the first flurries and a cold snap. The Nevada resort is backing it with nearly US$2 million in upgrades, including a replacement snowmaking main line, a new PistenBully groomer and restraint bars on every lift. Opening day is yet to be confirmed, though Heavenly and Northstar are already eyeing 20 November.

Utah is still building flat out. For 2026-27, Powder Mountain opens a steep new Skytrac chair into more than 1,000 acres of advanced terrain, Deer Valley adds 200 acres on Hail Peak, Sundance gets a new quad and Park City adds a gondola from its new parking structure. Snowmaking is expanding almost everywhere, Eagle Point stays closed after the Cottonwood Fire, and the 2034 Games are setting the pace. Here’s what’s new, resort by resort.

Mt Hutt is getting busier, and its base lodge is about to catch up. NZ$12 million goes into a heated sun deck roughly three times the current size (430 m² to 1,300 m²), plus a new toilet block, heated steps down to snow level, extra storage and a new food and beverage outlet. Building starts after the 2026 season, with everything due for winter 2027.

Vermont's season is slow to take shape. Stratton is tentatively targeting 18 November and Sugarbush 21 November, while Pico has Friday 11 December on the calendar. Killington never sets a date and opens when the snowmaking allows, and Vail Resorts has yet to name days for Stowe, Okemo and Mount Snow. The forecasts disagree about snow, and the main El Niño worry for the Green Mountains is warmth.

Less than four months out from the Crans-Montana 2027 World Championships, the man running the organising committee has stepped down. Claude-Alain Schmidhalter resigned as Swiss-Ski vice president and OC president after being indicted over a business dispute unrelated to skiing. He denies the allegations and faces court on October 27. Interim leaders are in place for the February 1-14 event.

Kelly Canyon had a rough 2025-26, and the Idaho resort has spent the summer making sure it doesn’t repeat. Snowmaking now reaches the top of Goldrush, the terrain park is doubling in size with a stereo system, lights and a snack shack, and the car park is getting bigger. Grooming is stepping up too. Target opening is December 4, conditions permitting.

Base depth, summit depth, and recent snowfall are the core numbers to watch. At Titus, summit conditions (617m) can differ noticeably from the base, so we break both out separately rather than showing a single average.
Wind and temperature swings matter as much as fresh snowfall. Cold, calm conditions hold snow quality well, while wind-loading or a warm-up can change things quickly — especially given the elevation spread between Titus's base and summit.
Snowfall and depth figures for Titus come from official mountain sources; weather and outlook data comes from independent forecasting services. The mountain is served by 10 lifts in total.
Snow reports are typically updated early morning and late afternoon. For the most current conditions, check back regularly, especially if a winter storm is approaching.
