Rain and warm temperatures prompt Titus Mountain to close for the season
After a period of unusually warm temperatures and rain, Titus Mountain has announced its closure for the season. The northern New York ski resort made the announcement Sunday afternoon in a social media post, saying recent conditions had “taken their toll on the mountain.” “Thank you to everyone who visited us and made this the best season yet,” the mountain wrote. . “We can’t wait to see everyone back on the slopes for the 2022-23 season!” This marks the end of a winter season that spanned almost four months – Titus started running its lifts on December 3 this season. This year’s closure comes more than a month before last year’s, when the mountain closed its lifts in the first week of April. However, Titus isn’t the only one who feels like he’s in the mountains, pinched by abnormally hot conditions. The snow stake on Mount Mansfield in Vermont, which usually serves as a litmus test for snowpack in the region, is currently showing half the snow depth of its average reading for that point in March. He was reading just 38 inches Monday afternoon, 12 inches lower than last year and 34 inches lower than average. A loss of snow prompted the nearby resort town of Sugarbush to close Mount Ellen over the weekend, a mountain carrying a number of the resort’s most popular trails. Information about Titus Mountain’s summer and fall events is available on its website.
