Vermont Skiing - The New England area is famous for its ski resorts and draws many tourists each winter. Vermont skiing is especially prized, involving internationally renowned resorts for skiers and snowboarders in the Green Mountain range. These resorts have excellent facilities, lovely scenery and a variety of runs to satisfy all abilities.
The highest peak in the state is Mount Mansfield, measuring 4,393 feet at the summit. The Stowe Mountain Resort is here and contains four trails that are very challenging with steep slopes, trees and rocks. Cross Country skiers are also catered for and there are trails at the base and on the lower sections of the mountain for them. There are also two backcountry trails.
Killington Peak is the second highest peak in Vermont and the Killington Ski Resort is the largest ski resort in the eastern part of the United States. The resort extends across seven mountains and has 200 trails and 33 lifts. This is one of the best of the Vermont skiing areas for groups of mixed ability as there are a variety of trails for the novice and the more advanced skier. One of the trails is an extremely steep mogul run. The resort welcomes snowboarders and has a separate area for them. Everyone can enjoy a long season here due to the state of the art snowmaker machine.
Mad River Glen is a resort in Fayston and is considered to offer some of the most difficult runs on the east coast. There are narrow trails and natural obstacles are left where they are. Vermont skiing off piste is actively encouraged here. However, this is one resort that took the controversial decision to ban snowboarding.
Sugarbush is a large resort in Warren, containing 111 ski trails and also has a snowmaking system. This resort attracts a lot of visitors off season too with facilities that include courts for playing tennis, squash and racquetball. There are also swimming pools and hot tub, a weights room and a gym. Golfers enjoy the resort too and there is an 18-hole golf course. Vermont skiing can also be found at Bondville, a resort that has 91 trails and a snowmaker. Snowboarders are very welcome here; in fact, it was the first ski resort to admit snowboarding on to its mountains.
Other ski resorts in the region include Jay Peak, Okemo and Bromley. Vermont is rightly proud of its place on the winter sports calendar and with the use of the snowmaking machines, lack of snowfall isn’t a problem.
