I love Bolton, one of the last family owned resorts in Vermont, and it is well loved in the community! Fuck Vale!

Aside from the beaten and chaotic mud parking lot, Bolton is a charming local resort that has some amazing terrain plus some of the only night skiing in Vermont. The tree runs here are amazing, but I have skied mostly at night, where the groomed runs are limited. Definitely cool to be able to ski after work and have some real trails to tackle, they just get old as there are so few. This resort is awesome for beginners especially considering the price of a half day ticket here is a steal. The terrain is great for manageable increases of difficulty for people learning and improving at skiing. Being at the highest base elevation in VT, Bolton gets snow when others get rain. The views from the top are incredible; Lake Champlain, Mount Mansfield, and Camels Hump, are visible in a trifecta that cannot be found elsewhere.

Im only here on 2 weekdays, but heres my take: nice small VT mountain. They dont make much snow, so skiing is really at the mercy of the snow gods. While we were there a full 1/3 of the mountain was closed during Feb vacation week. Unfortunately I think that included some of the more challenging runs. But the runs that were open were great New England conditions. There are a LOT of rental places nearby to stay. One bummer is the lifts are old and quite slow. This mountain would be perfect if you have young children or beginner skiersthere is a whole section of the mountain cris-crossed with green runs. They have night skiing on those runs most of the week. The prices are unbeatable.

Bolton Valley is the most affordable place to ski in VT and is well worth it. It has a variety of options for going during the day or at night and offers a wide range of lessons and groups of all ages and levels.

Ive been skiing at Bolton for years, if you want a resort to avoid the crowds and get some of the best bang for your buck terrain, this is it. Lower elevation and less steep than other nearby resorts, however this is made up for by the amount of serious untapped backcountry skiing thats available through Bolton Valley.

Bolton l, for the price you pay is a super family friendly mountain that serves trails for both beginners and advanced skiers. On days where all 6 lifts are open, woods are a perfect chance to explore the wilderness without seeing other people. While the mountain is small and the lifts are slow, the people are amazing and its always super fun to go up by yourself or with a group of friends. Also, huge plus for having a night skiing option!!

I really like Bolton valley just because of it low key but fun vibe. The lifts are non detachable so they are not the fastest but you still have tons of fun because it is in Vermont you will never have the best snow quality but when you get some pow it sure is fun. The food is great and the lift tickets are not too expensive. The resort is family owned so its is a great family resort especially if you are learning to ski.
