The Best Ski Resorts in Vermont

The state has well-developed facilities for any level of skiing. Accommodations typically feature beautiful cottages and practical amenities including conveniently located ski lifts and gondolas, so all you need to do is concentrate on having fun. There are also ski schools for all ages, for those who want to start to dabble in the sport, or try their hand at snowboarding.

  • Killington

    Killington Peak is the second highest mountain in Vermont with an elevation of 4,229ft. The Killington Ski Resort is on top of this mountain. It is fondly called the “Beast of the East” by skiers, thanks to its nearly 200 trails distributed across seven alpine areas. It features a spectacular vertical drop which is the second largest on the East Coast. The Stash, which is the resort’s all natural terrain park, includes log rails and wall rides for a perfect winter playground experience. It also hosts the Slash and Berm Banked Slalom.

  • Stowe

    Scenic Mount Mansfeld, which is the state's highest peak, is part of this resort. The ski resort comprises two separate mountains: Spruce Peak and Mount Mansfield. The vertical drop of Mount Mansfield is 2,360ft, the fifth largest in New England. There are 116 trails on the resort covering 485 acres. The resort receives an annual snowfall of 333 inches. Although over 75% of the trails can be considered intermediate and advanced, beginners can start practicing on Spruce Peak or take the winding Toll Road from Mansfield.

  • Stratton Mountain

    Located on the northeast slopes of Stratton Mountain, the resort has 97 trails spread over 600 acres. Its vertical drop is measured at 2,000ft., served by 16 lifts to transport skiers. The resort also holds the distinction of opening the “first snowboard school in the world,” back in 1983. It has since produced some of the best snowboarders in the world, including Ross Powers, who was the Men’s Half Pipe Olympic gold medalist in 2002. For snowboard learners, there are five terrain parks where they can practice. There's also a tubing park and a Nordic center where you can rent equipment and take lessons.
