    I just got in from skiing the Upper Mountain, the trails that aren't groomed, and trees are still a bit thin. I came down under the lift, and it was scratchy underneath. Definitely skiable, but outside my comfort zone given I can't fall. The groomers are fantastic, as good as it gets, soft...

    Hi Harvey, I've been in Montreal for the last few weeks, so I haven' t been skiing at Titus, but I'm here now for a few days, and took a few runs on Chairs 4 and 1 this afternoon. Cover on snowmaking trails is good, otherwise not so much. The surface is definitely edgeable and very fast. I...

    Yes, it appears to be a tragic accident. the fellow I spoke with said that it had been a topic among patrol, wearing large backpacks with lots of dangling straps. Apparently the mountain would not let them ban backpacks. He was wearing a large backpack, he fell off the chair, the pack got...

    Recommendations for Early Season Bachelor Party?

    Congratulations! This sounds like a great idea, I dunno, Steamboat? They get good early season snow and have a lot of easier terrain.....

    Well, it's been quite a week, Monday and Tuesday were really excellent. We took Wed and Thursday off, and yesterday was surprisingly good. Very edgeable snow, and just a lot of fun. It did snow before it changed to rain, and it's been raining and blowing, it appears that there is a net loss...

    Just stopping in to take a break, Titus is skiing really well right now. There's about 8 inches down now and it's still snowing. Ropes have been dropping and the locals are skiing everything as is their way. Chairs 1,4 and 6 are open, and they are blowing snow on the upper mountain. Skiing...

    We got about 4 inches of nice medium density pow out of this storm. The mountain is skiing great, chair 3,4 and today. They are blowing snow as well. The sun is coming out. We stopped back home to warm up and get some Blue wax on the skis. We do need more snow to open new terrain though.

    Well, I hope this wonderful little area keeps up. I got my first lessons from Dave V there in 1959, taught there in 1975 before i went to Glen Ellen. That was some year for the mountain, Scott Light won the Eastern Cup, and Bruce Bolesky won everything in the freestyle world....fun little...

    Some good news from Titus on their FB page, it looks like they are working to get the Upper Mountain open. BTW, a shameless plug, since we mostly live in Montreal, we are renting our home on Airbnb. It's walking distance to the lifts, and listed as: Bela's Bungalow... GOOD NEWS Despite...

    Another fun day at Titus, it didn't freeze last night, so everything was soft, which was fun, but doesn't bode well for the snowpack. We had a great day, took a few runs, and had a great breakfast sandwich from the grill in the first floor. Then a few more runs and back home to head North...

    Titus Conditions

    Well, Titus is back open, and skiing really well. We made it back to the house in Malone last night, and caught the skiing today. It was really good, and the mountain has done incredible work with quite a few trails open. A real treat was that lift 6 is open, even though it isn't listed on...

    Hello everyone, great discussion here. AG is one of the few lines at Mt. Washington that I have actually skied. We did a similar tour, up the cog side via the jewel trail, took a run on AG, booted up and came down Ammo...we did it in the spring in t-shirts, corn snow and bomber snow...
