Powered by GoogleVail failed me and Black Mountain restored my love for snowboarding. I’m not sure if it’s the vibe or the incredible conditions all year, or if it’s the staff or the fact that I’m on a lift today - April 25th! There is no comparing Black Mountain to anywhere else.
Overall experience was great. The staff were friendly and fun. The grooming was stellar, the ease to purchase tickets was fantastic and (almost) everyone from parking crews, to lifties and on mountain staff were awesome- although the base lodge cook seemed like he could use a vacation 😅 we could really taste the spite and rage in his cooking; Regardless, we'll definitely be back!
My two sons and I enjoyed our day in the mountain this week, nice, easy check-in and rental rentals. The mountain was great, lifts were a little on and off, small technical issues, but not too much time was wasted. Will definitely be back.
Great mountain to learn at. The AC was so sick, loved having a PBR mid mountain. Glenn was helpful to point me in the right direction of the easiest trail. Delafina(?) and the other girl running the lifts for the beginners area were very kind and welcoming! Kevin at the rentals desk was helpful getting my rentals dialed in when I had an issue, the other gentleman (who said he’s a fluffy cow) with the beard was great as well I just didn’t get his name. BT who sold me a hat was a treasure and I’d die for her. The list could go on, everyone who worked here that we dealt with was very kind and welcoming - it’s not like this at every mountain.
This was my first time skiing, highly recommend Black Mountain for beginners and for anyone who wants to have fun. My instructor, Doug, was great and delivered easy to follow instructions with a positive attitude. Everyone who works here was nice and approachable. Wouldn’t have tried skiing if it wasn’t for the Indy Pass, fantastic idea and will be purchasing again in the future.
