★★★★★Seth RobinsMid week « bucket list » trip. Lucky 3 » of untracked snow. Delightfully empty trails. There was a high school ski race for the northern half of Vermont, so the lodge was full, but the kids were very well behaved; and one young lad of about 16, skiing from Cochran’s, helped my 88 year old ski buddy get his boots on. An Olympic performance of the first order.
★★★★★Douglas BurnsGreat small ski area vibe with fun terrain. Nice mix of on/off piste with great surface on the groomed trails. Less icy than all of the larger, more northern resorts I visited on this trip. We parked about 100 steps from the entrance, even after showing up at 10am during a holiday week. Looking forward to returning later in the season to explore the rest of the mountain.
★★★★★Oliver BerlicSnowbowl is a real gem of a mountain. Not only do they have day and night riding their staff is great and their food is awesome. This is a very family friendly mountain that offers lessons and rentals. Lift tickets are affordable and with the right conditions Snowbowl is amazing. One thing I will say is they are missing out not having night riding on Sat and Sunday as it’s only wed-Friday. My family and I always have a blast at the Middlebury Snowbowl!
★★★★★Chris KeoughAwesome independent mountain with a fun mountainous drive to get there through the Rochester gap. Snow tires recommended on a snow day. Lifty on the smaller chair have us jolly ranchers unprompted. Free stickers when we got our tickets. Reasonable food prices and a nice lodge. This place is great and not too busy.
★★★★★Nicholas SeiterThe staff is extremely friendly. Affordable lift tickets. Has a great beginner area! Has pretty good steeps. The grooming is a little different but makes it more challenging. Good mountain to get your first day or two in while supporting a smaller mountain. Definitely recommend.
