Skied Tupper 12-13 years ago. Was mid-Winter, little to no grooming, and only two trails were skiable due to lack of snow (while they were "open" should not have been.) To be fair, lack of snow partly to blame.

Top area was closed, but looked interesting. Would try it again if properly managed, and a decent snowfall year, however a trip to nowhere so I would have to been successfully marketed to (meaning cost), to make the haul and pay some cash out.

Yeah. Skied it when I was a kid.

Sick mountain, lots of good tree skiing (if you know a little bit) and the top has leapable cliffs and narrow, winding trails.

Also a big locals mountain, not a lot of pretense or a-holes.

Scott Gaffney (founder of Match Stick Productions) grew up skiing there and he had nothing but great things to say about the place (in the interviews I read)
