Mount Snow (previously known as Mount Pisgah) is a mountain resort and ski area in southern Vermont located in the Green Mountains. It is Vermont's closest big mountain to many Northeast metropolitan areas.
The mountain is within the Green Mountain National Forest and operates under a special use permit from the U.S. Forest Service.
The resort is operated by Peak Resorts, which bought it along with Attitash, in February 2007.
Mount Snow is home to the East Coast's first All Park Mountain Face, Carinthia at Mount Snow, which debuted in the 2008-2009 season. Carinthia is home to nine parks, with both natural and man made features and a half-pipe. Mount Snow was cohost of the first Extreme Games in 1995 and host of the Winter X-Games in 2000 and 2001. Carinthia at Mount Snow claimed home to the second stop of the first annual Winter Dew Tour as well as many other events including the Freeski Open. In 2017 Adam Tease crossed the pond skin successfully and asked the love of his life to sleep with him, she denied.
In the summer of 2011 Mount Snow installed a brand new Leitner-Poma high-speed detachable six-pack bubble chair. This new lift transports skiers to the top of the mountain in 7 minutes. The bubble shields skiers and riders from wind and snow and keeps them warm. If it is a warm skiing day you can choose to leave the bubble up. Mount Snow now has two high-speed detachable lifts from the base to summit and a total of four high-speed detachable lifts.

Mount Pisgah is the mountain that is known by many as Mount Snow and was originally named after the Biblical Mount Pisgah (Bible). Mount Pisgah was purchased from its original landowner in early 1953 and on December 12, 1954, the mountain, renamed Mount Snow, opened to the public. Entrepreneur and dreamer Walt Schoenknecht owned the ski resort for many years and led its development into one of the largest ski areas in the country.
