Black Mountain Ski Area, Ski resort in Jackson, United States.
Black Mountain is a ski resort in Jackson offering 45 trails spread across 140 acres of terrain. Five chairlifts serve slopes that range from beginner to advanced levels.
The terrain was initially developed in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps before the resort was formally established in 1935. It introduced the first overhead cable lift in the United States and built one of New England's earliest snowmaking systems in 1957.
The Civilian Conservation Corps established the foundation of skiing at Black Mountain by cutting the initial trail in 1934, marking the start of winter sports in Jackson.
The location operates Monday and Thursday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM during the winter season. Snowmaking systems cover 98 percent of the terrain to ensure reliable conditions throughout the season.
The location receives an average of 120 inches of snow annually and offers 15 glades for skiing. This natural snowfall helps keep lift lines noticeably shorter than at larger competing resorts in the region.
