Mount Snow is made up of four separate mountain areas: Main Face, North Face, Sunbrook, and Carinthia. Main Face can be divided into smaller areas named after its main chairlifts, including Sundance, Ego Alley, Grand Summit, and Canyon.

Mount Snow is a mountain and ski area in southern Vermont located in the Green Mountains. It is Vermont’s closest big mountain to Northeast metropolitan areas. It was cohost of the first Extreme Games in 1995 and host of the Winter X-Games in 2000 and 2001.
Mount Snow is made up of four separate mountain areas: Main Face, North Face, Sunbrook, and Carinthia. Main Face can be divided into smaller areas named after its main chairlifts, including Sundance, Ego Alley, Grand Summit, and Canyon. At the base of Main Face is Launch Pad, a learning area adjacent to the main base area’s clock tower and ski school. There is also a learning area by the Sundance Lodge. The North Face, fittingly located to the north of Main Face, is home to some of Mount Snow’s most advanced terrain. Opposite of the North Face, on the southern face of the mountain, is Sunbrook which offers scenic trails, great on bluebird days. Carinthia, an entirely re-designed mount face, accessed via Long John and Deer Run, is home to 12 terrain parks hosting 125+ features including a mini-pipe (10 foot walls) and its Legendary Superpipe boasting 18 foot walls. The parks range from expert to grom level features so there is fun for the whole family.
