Hiking

Mount Snow in West Dover offers a multitude of hiking trails of varying difficulty to the 3,600 foot summit. In the Grand Summit hotel you can ask a guide for advice and gear before ascending the mountain. You have the option of hiking determined trails or blazing your own. Trails are not always entirely clear so you are often just wandering up. This experience provides a whole new perspective on skiing Mount Snow. The view at the top is breathtaking. One of the most popular trails is the ridge that allows hikers to travel the 2.5 mile trail to nearby Haystack Mountain.

Scenic Chairlift ride

If hiking is not your pastime of choice, enjoy a scenic chairlift ride to the top of the mountain. You can get off and explore the top of the mountain or picnic. You then have the option of walking down or riding the chairlift back down. The view at the top of the mountain provides a picturesque view of Southern New England. The ride costs $12.00 for adults and $8.00 for children and seniors or is included free with a season pass. Chairlifts run weather permitting every weekend throughout the summer. It gets colder at the top of the mountain so plan accordingly.  

 

Mountain Biking

Mount Snow is running the lifts every weekend and creating over 35  trials through out the mountain. They offer rentals and clinics so any one whether it is their first time or they are professional are welcome to tune in to their adventurous side. There are different level trails available but this is not for the faint of heart. But if you want to try something new and get a little mud on your tires this is a great activity to partake in.
