Sugarbush
“ Sugarbush has been my home mountain for five years. The terrain has so much variety. Depending on who you are you have many different options. You can learn to ski, or if your a thrill seeker you can ski some of New England's trickiest back country lines. The "Church" and all the BC lines in Slide Brook are just some examples. But if your not into that kind of skiing...” --gregory99mar
Jay Peak
“ Jay is well... Jay. Most folks travel far distances to ski here and it's for good reason. It has the MOST snow in the Northeast thanks to the Jay Cloud and the micro-climate created by the pass. While Stowe also boasts great BC and Side Country access, the lines are long, the tickets are expensive and the trees are often tight. At Jay, the lines are short, the tickets are cheap, and the...” --moripper
Killington
“ Killington is the most diverse eastern resort. It has legitimate steeps in the Canyons, world class bumps on Bear Mountain, including Outer Limits, and good intermediate and beginner terrain on Ram Head and throughout the mountains. It is big - so big that driving from the main lodge, K1 to the Skyship base area and around to Bear Mountain is about a 20 minute drive. There are many...” --vsirin
Stowe
“ my wife and i skiied two days at stowe over valentine's day weekend (sunday and monday) this year and we had such a great time. it was a bit of a haul for us (we live near philadelphia), but it was well worth the drive. lodging - we stayed at the green mountain inn, which offered *very* reasonable ski and stay rates. the accommodations were very nice and the food...” --guitar73
Magic Mountain
“ I can't say enough about Magic. I spend almost every weekend year round there. Skiing as much as humanly possible in the winter and volunteering my time and skills in the summer... It just feels like home. I've gotten to know the hill itself, the people and the skiing and let me tell you- the more you learn the more you want to be there. I am there most weekends...” --Do Work
Mad River Glen
“ I just wanted to give a shout out to MRG for an excellent experience. Over last week, there was all the talk of a snowstorm, so I found a great deal at the Sugarbush Inn (which was great btw), packed up the 6y/o, and headed up north. Sure MRG has the terrain and ambiance that you've read about in bunches of reviews before, but I wanted to relay something a bit different...” --Smartyiak
Bolton Valley
“ If you live in or are staying in the Burlington area, Bolton is only 30min away. For perspective: Stowe, Mad River Glen and Sugarbush are about 1 hour (half interstate travel). Smuggler's Notch is 1 hour (no interstate, lots of town, slow route 15). Jay Peak and Whiteface are 2 hours away, long and complicated. The road up to Bolton is a four mile, fairly...” --WV3X
Burke Mountain Resort
“ My husband and I tried Burke for the first time this year and we loved it. We went up the day after Christmas, on a Sunday, and there were no crowds. We were skiing down one of the blue trails, mid-morning, and there was no one else on the trail, it was fantastic. As a previous reviewer noted, there is only one high speed lift, and that only serves beginner terrain. The upper quad...” --Ice Queen
Smugglers Notch
“I only skiied the Madonna and Sterling mountains. Morse mountain is a beginners area that is separate from the Madonna/Sterling base. There are no Greens anywhere on Madonna or Sterling. Most of the blues were groomed and all the blacks were ungroomed. The double diamonds were very steep, bumby with lots of exposed rocks, small cliffs to jump off. I only saw two people the whole day try double...” --Vermonster
Mount Snow
“ I have been going to Mt. Snow for almost 10 years and the new ownership has really improved the mountain a lot. They have put in over 10 million or something like that into snow making and groomers. There is another lift or two ready (6-pack to the top is the rumor) to go up this summer and looking down the road there is more to come. Now to the Mountain There is a...” --skisalot
