#MyFirstMountain — Share memories. Read stories. Celebrate ski areas.

#MyFirstMountain

“My first mountain was Mt. Tom Ski Area, in Holyoke, Mass. Mt. Tom had a saying, ‘Always White, Day & Night,’ and I took full advantage of that — skiing every night after school and every weekend. More times than not my mom was waiting for me at the bottom, and I’d ski down and quickly say, ‘Just one more run, Mom, and then we can go!’”

Dave Hunter, VP of Mountain Ops, Steamboat
