Resorts Cranmore-Mountain-Re
Area Profile
Cranmore, to put it mildly, is a classic. The resort has been in operation for over six decades and was where Hannes Schneider, the celebrated Austrian skimeister and father of modern skiing, first opened his ski school and brought skiing to the New York and Boston masses. The original skimobile lift is now a museum piece, but there are plenty of modern replacements. Cranmore offers a good dose of daily skiing and surprising challenges. You'll find the Palmer X Park, modeled on a boardercross park, but geared toward beginner and intermediate sliders, as well as the Darkside Freestyle Terrain Park that will appeal to freestyle sliders of all abilities. Cranmore has purchased 25 new energy-efficient HKD tower guns to improve snowmaking capabilities for earlier trail coverage and a variety of early-season terrain, while using less water and energy than traditional snowmaking equipment.
