Always ranking high in awards for family-friendly ski mountains, Bromley may not be the biggest, but it's one of the most user-friendly of ski resorts.
Unlike most ski areas, Bromley's slopes and trails face south, which in winter translates to sunny slopes and trails throughout the day. Bromley opened in the earliest days of recreational skiing, in , and claims its place in ski history as one of the first places to adapt the terrain to skiing, as well as one of the first to introduce grooming. They still excel at taking care of the snow. The trails are spread almost evenly between those rated for beginners, intermediates, and expert skiers.

Trails are almost evenly split between beginner, expert, and intermediate, plus there are 13 glades and three terrain parks.

Accommodation: Where to Stay in Bolton Valley. Winter scene in Londonderry near Magic Mountain. Say "Magic Mountain," and long-time New England skiers get a dreamy look in their eyes. It's a skiers' mountain, without the off-slope amenities and activities of larger resort mountains but there is a well-equipped base lodge and a snow tubing hill.
Although it has snowmaking and grooming on most terrain, there are natural snow trails and glades that are the envy of many larger resorts when there's fresh powder. The terrain is legendary; its Swiss founder chose this mountain because its separate valleys head in different directions from the lifts, reminding him of the terrain in Switzerland's ski resorts. The resort he designed still thrills experienced skiers with some of the most challenging steeps and tree-skiing in the east.
It is southern Vermont's most challenging mountain, but intermediate and beginning skiers find plenty of good skiing, too, and love its uncrowded slopes and trails and welcoming family atmosphere. Classes at the Snowsports Learning Center are small, with lots of time for individual attention, and a conveyor belt lift takes skiers to the top of the beginner slope.
A new base-to-mid-mountain double chair lift helps make Magic's classic terrain more accessible to novice and intermediate skiers, and the Black Double summit lift has been replaced with a fixed-grip quad to summit.
With this addition comes another double-diamond expert summit trail named Pitch Black and a new East Side glade. Four years ago, the terrain park tripled in size to include 11 features. Magic has a unique policy for enthusiasts who love to climb on their own steam: for every climb to the top they get one free ride on the lift with a "Hike One, Ride One" token. Magic Mountain is near Manchester, where lodging and dining options are plentiful, but the closer Snowdon Chalet Motel in Londonderry has quiet rooms with refrigerators and microwaves.
Vermont's most unusual ski mountain, Mad River Glen is owned by skiers who love it just the way it is. News here is that nothing has changed-it's still dedicated to natural terrain, natural snow, and skiers only. Mad River Glen is a legend, with its cheeky motto, "Ski it if You Can" and one of the last places where you can ski on trails cut to follow the mountain's natural contours for the entire 2,foot vertical.
For real nostalgia or maybe a moment to fully appreciate modern lifts , ride Mad River Glen's single-chair lift. Families love its non-commercial, kid-friendly atmosphere; its handy single base area; and plenty of blues and greens for beginning skiers. Boarders need to go elsewhere-along with being one of the last bastions of natural snow skiing in New England, it's one of only three areas in North America that don't allow snowboarding.
There is no on-slope lodging, but plenty nearby. The Hyde Away Inn , on Rte and convenient to both Mad River Glen and Sugarbush, offers budget-friendly rooms, retro ski-dorm bunk rooms, and a restaurant. The 60 kilometers of groomed trails and kilometers of backcountry trails through pristine spruce forests aren't the only appeals of the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe Vermont.
The first cross-country ski center in America was founded here in the s by the von Trapp family, of Sound of Music fame. The family still owns this mountaintop winter sports center, which includes an Alpine-style inn, dining, equipment rentals, and a learning center.
Whether you ski on your own or take a guided tour, you'll be treated to glorious views of the Green Mountains. Stop for homemade soups or hot chocolate by the fireplace at the Slayton Pasture Cabin.

Gondola at Killington All this is served by 22 lifts, two of which are express gondolas. Mount Snow Mount Snow Photo Copyright: Stillman Rogers Photography Not the largest of Vermont's ski areas, Mount Snow is one of the most popular, largely due to its excellent snowmaking and its location as the closest major ski resort to many of the Northeast's metropolitan areas. Sugarbush Sugarbush Sugarbush made its name in the s as the home of the "Jet Set"- a term that may have originated here - but its two mountains of trails and 2, acres of backcountry kept it in the A-list for serious skiers.
