| Black is almost certainly one of the best areas you've probably never skied.
Even though it's been operating for 72 years, it's still a well-kept secret.
Many of the trails are narrow. They twist and turn through the woods the way ski trails should. It's a very different experience than skiing down the crowded, wide-open, straight-down the falline trails so prevalent of newer, more glamorous resorts.
On a recent Sunday in January, Black had, I would guess, just under half of their trail system open, but it looked like it would only take a couple of inches of natural snow to open the rest. Still, half of their terrain was enough for a good day of skiing, especially since we hardly saw another skier.
Black is also a cheap date: their Family Passport lets two adults and two juniors (Ages 6-17) ski or ride for $89 on weekends and holidays and $70 Midweek! And midweek, full-day tickets cost all of $22.
