It's a beautiful mountain and resort but be prepared to be spoken to like a toddler by the customer service staff. Not sure of his name but one man in particular was extremely condescending, arrogant, and rude. My fiancé lost his chair lift pass after one run and he didn't have the ticket stub so there was no way for them to look it up. Unfortunate situation but it is what it is. The front desk staff led by a Mr. Roger's look-alike handled the situation so poorly. We walked out of the office after being talked over for 3 mins straight and spoken to like we were 5 years old by that guy. This was my first time coming here but I won't be returning. I'd urge the company to make sure their customer service agents are actually willing to serve customers, not belittle them. If that guy wasn't a complete jerk, we probably would have bought another day pass because the conditions were perfect and we really enjoyed the one run we got in. read more

Older Inn Chevy Chase style that you remembered as a kid. Lobby is awesome with fireplace, shuffleboard, restaurant / bar. Bottom floor also has playroom with fireplace, pool table, ping pong, etc and far right corner has a convenient changing area to walk out to base and a room to store gear. Conveniently located at the base of Bromley Mountain. Some rooms have amazing views of mountain and or across valley over looking Magic Mountain and Stratton. Kid friendly, great for families and or a warm up mountain. Friendly staff and amenities. Nice restaurants near by. Definitely recommend. read more

I haven't been here since before I was a teenager, and now I had the opportunity to come back with my wife and kids. We arrived early and immediately headed towards the alpine slide. There are three trails to come down on, and I started on #2 while my kids and wife started on #3. We all ended up on #1 a few times by the end of our day. Overall I think we did four runs each. The 10 minute ride on the chairlift to the top is very scenic. Several bras and underwear in the trees. Odd. Anyway. I also rode the swing with my daughter, and although I didn't vomit, I sure felt like I was going to. It was a lot of fun though, and I'm glad I can say that I did it. We had food for lunch before leaving and everyone enjoyed what they got. I had the Vermonter Burger and the bacon on it was amazingly good. My kids and wife all had a lot of fun and I'm glad that we can check this off our list of fun things that we've done together. read more

Avoid in the summer, this place is awful! It is so expensive and the rides are terrible. The biggest waste of money for what you get. We spent an hour here and paid close to $200 just for tickets. It reminds me of a more expensive version of what Action Park used to be, fun by teenagers and I doubt the rides are safe. The 48 inch and under pass is such a joke. My son went on thing and was so bored within 2 minutes that he didn't want to do anything else. The food prices are ridiculous and awful. Never coming back here again. read more

Overall great experience except for one thing. Two male workers at the water slide Aiden and Liam although I don't know there real names as they switch names tags. (might be having an identity crisis) They were EXTREMLEY rude and disrespectful to me and my buddies. They wouldn't listen to a word we said and wouldn't respect our cautions to the ride. We were afraid of the water slide and didn't know what it was like. When we ask they gave us extreme attitude and could have just said it's an easy ride. You must fix this attitude problem with workers. I loved the experience except for this. read more

By far the worst place ever. The drinks were watered down (wine was $9 and a frozen drink was $15 and the food was disgusting. If you have pets and love them you would not feed them their burgers, dogs, salad and cookies. So gross. How embarrassing for this resort. Save your money...do not go here. read more

Super beautiful place and so full of life! Tons of activities for families and friends. Alpine Slide is crazy awesome!! read more

Bromley Mountain Ski Resort - My first time at Bromley Mountain ! - Ski Resorts Near Me - Peru, Vermont

Okay. We are on vacation up here in VT and I bought the triple play package. It was 70 dollars and I feel it was worth it. The ropes course was amazing even if I couldn't make it through all of them. My fiancé conquered three out of four of the courses and felt it the next day for sure. That was just a fun time in the trees. And they give you two hours of rope time which I thought was a good amount of time. My son LOVED the alpine slide. I lost track of the amount of times he went down the slides. We did the zip line. I loved it. I wish it were longer tbh but I mean there's zero complaints from me. We didn't hit the water slide or the mini golf because....alpine slides took priority after the rope course. The staff was amazingly friendly at each adventure we went on. They had us smiling and laughing at each one. That just made it that much better. Everyone was chill and it was welcomed. The only bummer of the place is the food. I mean I don't expect gourmet at all but I don't expect to pay ten dollars for a burger and chips. But I was smart this time and ordered one for my son because I knew he wouldn't eat the whole thing and his leftovers were just perfect. Even the staff at the food section was so friendly so that made up for the random expensive burger sitting under the warming light. I would definitely recommend this to anyone vacationing in the summer. We were all very happy and sore by the time we left!! read more

Had the best few days skiing here this weekend. I always liked this mountain but now I love it. All the staff is amazing , friendly , professional and fun. Can't say enough about the guys that move the lines on the lifts- the workers at the top of the lifts that make sure we don't fall - the men and woman on ski patrol, cafeteria staff and ticket people Seems like smiles abound here from the fun Hawaiian theme to the cheese and hot chocolate given out. Dare i say it is the feel good mountain of the east Family -fun and good vibes read more

Wow. Simply wow. I fell in love with Bromley again. I had last been here in the 1973-74 timeframe when the resort was owned by one of the Pabst beer owners and they had a double double lift and a whole bunch of J-bars. Yes I'm getting old..... Well - when I came here over 40 years ago, Bromley was already one of the historic mountains where the sport of skiing was born. A few years later, it was one of the first ski areas in the country to allow snowboarding. It is historic, it is quaint, it is definitely New England. As if that wasn't granola enough, and to make it even more interesting, the Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail go over the mountain with its amazing views. Although the buildings show their age, I hope they're not just replaced as the character of the mountain and the buildings match. It is beautiful. Coming over to Bromley today is sheer pleasure. One of the very few mountains facing South. So on an uber frosty New England bluebird morning, when even groomed slopes achieve the consistency of furrowed steel, Bromley gets from frosty to powdery in a couple of hours after the sun comes up. Arriving here is easy, the lodge and the slopes are a few feet from the highway. Enter a circular driveway, meet some friendly Ambassadors who will assist in the offload of equipment and bags, and proceed on a driveway and an underpass under the highway to the parking lot, plentiful parking and a bus/truck to bring you back to the lodge. Get your stuff, buy your tickets and then go into the fireplace-centerpieced lodge that has access to everything, from rentals to cafeteria to shops under one roof. I found the staff to be specially congenial and knowledgeable. Once in the lodge, there are plenty of cubicle stands around the walls to store your gear. Nothing drives me up a wall more than people commandeering tables in a ski lodge, leaving their junk under a dining table - some times even ON the table, then going skiing, and creating an abominable chaos by preventing people from even sitting down as chairs and benches don't fit under the table, much less people's feet. Fortunately, Bromley minimizes the problem although when we came back to the lodge for lunch, inconsiderate people were doing just that. Which I blame not as much on the people but on a resort's careless management. Enough of my number one pet peeve. Once you don your gear, walk just a few steps to skier's left to the Sun Quad or for beginners, to the East Mountain fixed double chair. The latter one accesses only beginner trails and keeps novices safe from out-of-control skiers and boarders. The former, the Sun Express Quad, whisks you up to the very top at 3,284 feet, a 1.300-foot vertical, quite respectable, and in addition, affording some of the most amazing scenic views in New England - you can see from New York State, halfway through New Hampshire, and many miles into Massachusetts. On a sunny day, anyone MUST bring a camera or smartphone and take some pictures. As we were unsure of the conditions that seemed from downright icy to groomed, we began our day on the long Green cruiser, Runaround, to Upper and Lower Thruway. We found this first run deliciously groomed, and returned to the Sun Express to take some of the runs off the Twister run, also well groomed and well snow covered. Once we skied several of these superb runs as the snow was softening up under the bright south sun, we moved to the Blue Ribbon Quad, a fixed quad serving primarily Black Diamond terrain. There were numerous Black Diamonds, all in good to excellent conditions. Overall, a superb, refreshing, high-energy day. One item worth taking to Bromley on a bluebird day... I didn't think I would need it. DO take sunscreen. Or else be ready with a good supply of sunburn lotion at home and be prepared to look like a raccoon for a couple or weeks. We'll definitely be back. read more

A sweet little mountain with fast lifts, groomed trails and nice runs. We has a great day of boarding. Blues were challenging. My partner loved the black runs. read more

Fun family ski slopes. Most are easy to moderate difficulty. Hidden with not much parking. Small chalet has a fireplace and tables, breakfast. On a clear day views from the top of the hills East & West. Narrow pistes. Needs some better staff, friendliness. Slopes are decent. Rebel says: 2 read more

What a challenging weather scenario! Virtually no snow and warm weather on Wednesday, Freezing cold and windy up to 50-60mph on Thursday. They go into heavy snow-making mode and most of the mountain is skiable on Saturday! Truly amazing! We had a good time. Some beginners, some experts, some intermediates and we all found someplace we liked to ski. I did just about every open trail and the conditions were pretty consistent across all of them even late in the day. Lift lines were non-existent, shuttle rides to the parking lot were reasonably spaced. Pricing wasn't horrible. As a younger person I never really thought Bromley had a lot to offer, but I would happily return after this visit. The trails were challenging but not death defying, the people were very nice. The conditions couldn't have been any better given the fierce circumstances nature presented them with. This is a top notch operation. Extremely well run ski resort and we will absolutely be back. read more

Enjoyed the snowboarding as always. Trails, park , mountain great! Very disappointed in the base lodge! We were on mountain dec 23-26 I really was disappointed that the fire pit outside was not lit and outside waffle bar was not open for the kids! Every other surrounding resort was having activities for Christmas all week and you chose to start yours December 27?? Really should think about making it feel like a fun festive holiday instead of just another day on the mountain. read more

Been coming here for the last 5 years and never wrote a review, it's time. I guess I've been neglecting writing a review because they place is small, old school, and family friendly. It's perfect for families with small children because they have a great ski school, a good mix of hills with a variety of skill levels, and it doesn't feel like a massive city, such as those other resorts can sometimes feel. I'm normally here on President's Day every year, and it does get a bit crowded. My kids learned to ski with the ski school and it was effective. They progress more and more each year, and this past year, they finally have moved on to the green trails. Prices are decent for lift tickets and rentals. If you search online, you can sometimes find discounts. Finding a place to sit to eat food from the cafeteria is always a challenge, but it doesn't take away from the overall experience. I hope they stay small and family friendly, because we'll keep coming as long as they do! read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. My lift ticket got ripped off my jacket during a bad fall, less than 1 hour after the slopes opened. Even though I had my receipt, they FORCED me to buy another lift ticket since I didnt have their stub for the ticket, easy mistake to misplace a ticket stub. Their "customer service manager" yelled at me in front of other customers. This is how they will treat you for the simple mistake of losing a lift ticket. This is how they treat US service members and good customers. Will never ski here again and do not recommend this place to anyone. Go to Stratton instead. read more

Now, I know why everyone goes to Killington. Want to learn about Bromley? -Awful Customer Service -Terrible Instructors -Disorganized staff -NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY Came here to ski for the first time and the instructor completely ignored me and went off with a few more advanced individuals despite this being a BEGINNER CLASS. During my group lesson I was discouraged from learning how to ski, experienced rude instructors who didnt want to teach me how to ski or how to get up when I fell, and I almost fell off the cliff and the instructor didn't do anything. I was able to maneuver myself out of it and the whole staff was unaware and realistically didn't give a shit. Do not come here to learn to ski - this place will discourage you and make you feel like shit. Do yourself a favor and pass on this so crappy "establishment" read more

Bromley is and has become a " go to family "  ski destination for the north east . I have endless family at the Peru cemetery . I took my first ski pushes at Bromely as a Toddler , only to enjoy the benefits of Swiss skiing for my youth ... then experiencing the luxuries out West like Deer Valley, Utah ., Vail, Ect I decided yo start returning to my family home and when i went to ski Bromley , I just was bowled over by the attention to rental detail , ,,the people on the slopes and their etiquette, Bromley is really a classic old school ski resort... for families and anyone who takes downhill skiing and the beauty of the mountains as a bonus ... i really can't wait for snow next year ! Bromley read more

Place is cool nice terrain park something for everyone. Very family oriented. A small mountain though.

My fiancé and I took his parents to Bromley to celebrate their anniversary! We thought it would be fun to check out the adventure park! We also bought the zip line... needless to say we all left extremely disappointed. A good majority of stuff was already shut down. The alpine slide was fun. That's the reason for my two stars. My zip line went down extremely slow, at the bottom the worker even made the comment that I had a horrible ride... a "dud" ride. I asked if I would be able to ride again and was told no it doesn't work like that. The employees all clearly hated their job, very unfriendly and spent more time conversing with each other then caring about the people who paid to come have a good time. For the price we paid it was extremely overrated... we asked for a manger, Marc, just to express our concerns... he too was extremely rude and uncaring. Spend your money else where. read more

Worst experience of my absolute lifetime. I was sold a $119 lesson online a week prior to the date of the lesson. I arrived at Bromley to be told there were no lessons today...They claimed they were going to load the $119 onto a "Bromley Bucks" card. They printed a lift ticket and sent me to the rentals department to use the rest of the credit on rentals. I got to the rentals department to find out that the Bromley Bucks hadn't been loaded properly. The ski rental team went ALL THE WAY down to get it figured out. In the meantime I figured out that my boots weren't compatible with their skis. I went to explain my discontent to Marc who just yelled, "Give me your credit card so that I can refund your money and get you out of here as fast as possible." This was the absolute worst ski experience of my life. I didn't even go out because I was so frustrated. I won't ever cheat on Killington again. This place is ABSOLUTELY terrible and run like someone's backyard. read more

I always go to Stratton and honestly this mountain is better for kids. It was amazing. We had a good instructor by the name of Tim and he helped us to ski. We did amazing. He allowed us to turn. It was great. I can not wait to go back. The people there were so friendly. read more

Bromley is a GREAT mountain. Always very sunny, because it's southern facing. I grew up skiing in Southern Vermont at Haystack, Mt. Snow & Stratton, and Bromley, Magic & Okemo, were the other mountains we liked to ski at also. In Summer camp, I used to do hikes that ended up at Bromley, and then we'd do the alpine slide. It was cool to experience Bromley in the summertime too, because it was a nice contrast to skiing it in the winter. read more

Very kid-friendly resort. My sons (11 yrs, 9 yrs.), wife, and I enjoyed the intermediate trails on the West face and stunning views from the 3,284 foot summit. It's a convenient drive from Manchester Center (8 miles to the east) that has an equipment drop-off area in front of the main lodge with a separate parking lot that's a short walk away under the Route 30 tunnel. If your kids enjoy skiing on intermediate trails, Bromley is an ideal mountain with many wide and well-groomed trails. However, if you are an advanced skier who regularly seeks double-diamond challenges, Stratton is likely to be more enjoyable. read more

The staff was amazing the mountain was still in great shape for the end of the season. Will definitely be going back next season. read more

We visited Bromley Mountain Ski Resort in the fall during a New England vacation specifically to try out their alpine slides. I'm a bit of a scaredy cat and probably set a record for going down the side of the mountain the slowest, but my husband went faster and enjoyed it a great deal! He wanted to go down again, but it started to sprinkle. It is quite beautiful there and I'd go there again if given the chance. Highly recommend the experience! read more

I'm giving Bromley 4 stars just based upon what it offers in comparison to its size. I visited Bromley this Saturday because we heard one of the main lifts at Stratton was down for the weekend and we wanted to avoid chaos. I was actually really pleased with our visit. The runs weren't very long, but the lift lines were really short and were able to get in a good day of riding. Also, the bar at Bromley was pretty sweet - we were able to get in two beers and some chili bread bowls while warming up. The only draw back was that the beer was almost as much as the bread bowl. I would definitely come here if you're looking to avoid the crowds at Stratton. read more

$20 for 1/2 a mile zipline down mountain. SO MUCH FUN! alpine slides are also awesome. But the zipline is my fave. It's not as scary as it seems. GO gogogogogogogogo. and after get a bloody mary :) they make their own mix and it's good. read more

My boyfriend and I spent Saturday night at the sunlodge (got in about 8pm) and spent Sunday on the moutain. It was a great experience and we will def be coming back for a full weekend. I've yet to experience such friendly staff and patrons on a VT mountain. Many other mountains you find that it is a bit intimidating and some (many!) folks are unfriendly to those who may not be regular ski/boarders. I only snowbard about once a year, so I never really get that much better. I felt I got enough runs in due to the short lines and the mountain wasn't flooded w/ people flying by, that I truly enjoyed myself. I stuck to the green & blue's but they have a good amount of harder trials as well. Also a few parks, which my bf loved attemptig a few jumps. It's a smaller mountain so not very long trials, but not very short either. Not many spots on a board where if you weren;t going really fast you couldn't keep moving. It snowed overnight about 2 in., the snow was great and no ice at all. I rented a board and it was reasonably priced w/ decent Burton gear. The main lodge area was nice w/ glove & boot dryers, plenty of bathrooms and enough tables to grab a spot no problem. The tavern inside wasn't crowded and the food was good, although a bit pricey. The Sun lodge hotel we stayed at on the mountain was ski in/ski out and was nice for the night. A bit dated but thats fine. The free breakfast was great before a day on the moutain w/ waffles, eggs, coffee...etc. Staff incredibly friendly and welcoming. This is clearly a family spot, but it wasn't obnoxiously so - being that we were two late 20/early thirty single people we were still comfortable and had a good low key time. They also appear to have lots of activities for the summer too...an aerial course!?!?...yes please! read more

Love this place. Old school ski resort that's a little quirky in a good way. They face the sun so they need a lot of snow to hold good conditions but the shorter lines make up for less than perfect trails at times. Secret tree skiing on the right side of the mountain really good when there's a lot of snow. Left my 4 year old's skis there and they found them and shipped them back to me! They're the best!!! read more

No frills local mountain. Perfect for those who just want to ski or curious about snow sports. I've been here a few times only for my small nieces who aren't quite ready for a fancier mountain. The magic carpet ride is great as long as it's not overrun with ski schools and private lessons. On a busy weekend, expect to wait 15 minutes for a two minute ride and a 20 second ride down. You'll wait for every ski group and then some before they let the plebes into the line. It's frustrating especially when their line manager just isn't doing a good job. I guess not a big deal since kids 4 and under are free. Not so much when you're paying money for an older child's and your ticket and can manage 4-5 runs in the morning before the kid gets tired for the day, mostly from standing around. Not worth it. If your kid can get on the ski lifts, there's much higher value to this place. Generally friendly staff but the skiers here are also low key and down to earth types. Having said that if you're looking for a full service resort and don't mind paying for it, there are nearby options for that. If you're new to skiing or just want to ski a few laps and head home for lunch, this could be your place. Show up early, buy your tickets online and leave just before 3pm before the mass exodus begins. read more

We visited the weekend of February 19th. We were aware of the requirements regarding COVID-19 that Bromley was enforcing; face masks required, limited indoor dining and forced outdoor eating, limited time in the lodge, etc. We respected these rules. Those who did not were absolutely attacked by aggressive rude staff. While we were aware of the restrictions, we were not aware of how extreme and unreasonable they would be. That for forcing people to have to eat outside that there would be minimal seating. Additionally, there were heaters outside, but we were told they could not turn them on. It was approximately a 23 degree day. During our food order we had a member of our group with a ski mask on. This did have perforation, however the member was standing back from the food ordering window and separated from the employee inside entirely by the window itself. The employee stated the mask was "absolutely unacceptable" and slammed the window shut on the member of our group and refused to let him order food at all. We then continued to witness that employee interact with other customers in an extremely rude manner. We also went into the lodge to warm up after skiing all morning for a few minutes. The employees in the lodge circled continuously demanding people exit the lodge because their 10 minute time limit was up, even people with very young children. Every staff member was rude and abrasive, and it truly impacted our visit. The mountain itself was good skiing, but it was a less than pleasant experience when everybody you interact with that is associated with the mountain seems to hate the people coming to ski. Also an important note to mention, was that it was even overheard that a worker stated Bromley is inconsistent in what their COVID-19 safety measures are, so as visitors we weren't the only ones to acknowledge that. read more

Good experience all seasons!! Fantastic day for me as a first time skier - & everyone else! My family bought a home down the road & I figured I ought to try enjoy winter sports. Took a lesson with Mike - 20+ years teaching experience, and incredibly personable & patient - I cannot express enough just how fantastic he was. The mountain is appropriate for skiers of all levels. Shuttles often & friendly. Also great fun in the summer!! read more

Rarely had such a terrible service experience. My husband and three year old daughter came to Bromley and inquired at the front if there was a discounted ticket to use the magic carpet to teach our daughter to ski. No special ticket, which is fine. Nothing else was noted (I.e. the very material information that all carpets were closed!). We got our tickets and proceeded to gear up (no small feat for a toddler). We had our hot cocoa (which was actually cold, bc they hadn't "turned on the machine"...which is odd but also not a deal breaker) and went over to the carpet at the far end of the slopes to start an afternoon of much anticipated skiing as a family after a few days of ski school at neighboring mountains...only to find none of the carpets running, surrounded by a number of other frustrated families. We hiked the hill once to give our daughter one run...and there was no way to do that several more times. We raised the issue to a lift attendant and he said they were understaffed but we could request a voucher at the front office. After twenty minutes of the front desk attendant trying to reach her manager, we were told they could give us a voucher for the following week, when the carpet would also be closed. I explained we were leaving that evening and had spent our last ski afternoon on a fools errand at Bromley, with paid-for rentals and the last day of our trip we could have spent teaching our toddler somewhere else now lost. They shrugged their shoulders and basically told us "too bad". For a second rate resort (at best) -- or any resort -- this is really not the way to treat people... save yourself the headaches, go elsewhere and have a much better day! read more

SCAM ALERT!!!! Rude, awful customer service. We purchased 2 full day passes for the kids for an adventure park. They told us in case of rain a couple of big slides will be shut down, but will be able to use the rest of the rides and games no problem. 15 minutes later it started sprinkling and they shut down the whole resort and kicked us out. Yelled at us and were extremely rude when we requested a refund or a credit towards next day. Stay away, they are lairs and scammers. We were never treated so bad in our whole entire life. read more

The customer service was a nightmare. Someone took my friend's board (rented from an independent shop) off of the rack while we were having lunch, leaving a nearly identical Bromley rental board next to it. Bromley refused to call the person who had rented the nearly identical board, even though no one came to claim it for the remainder of the day (validating our suspicions). We spent that entire afternoon, evening, and night stressed out about my friend's stolen board because Bromley refused to call one of their customers to clear up a simple mistake. They would not lift a finger to help us. My friend did not have much money so he really didn't want to have to pay for his board. Fortunately the board turned up the next day, and we had to drive back to Bromley even though we were headed to Stratton. We will never return to Bromley. They turned a great day into a terrible one. read more

In a state that seems to be constantly under a clouds and ice in Winter, Bromley seems to be perpetually sunny. I had a Giant Slalom race here in 2002, and had a chance to explore the mountain after the competition. It's a great mountain for recreational skiers (i.e. non-competitive, non-aggressive), especially families of varied ability. This is especially because the weather here is rarely an issue, which I know can often be frustrating for less experienced skiiers. The lodge is also very nice. While there isn't much of a variety of terrain--and on weekends the few steeper hills are blocked off for races or training--there's a fun terrain park, and lots of nice grooming. read more

Came here with the family to enjoy a day at their adventure park. Boy what a mistake, this is less about the mountain and more about the management. As we went up the lift to go on the alpine slide my wife panicking and when she got to the top was told she has 2 options walk down or take the alpine slide. I went ahead with one kid and left her with the other thinking she would follow along. She chose to walk down as assistance was not an option.. I'm not sure how you can let a single woman walk down a a mountain designed to ski down? They could give her a ride down or let her ride the lift down? When I approached management about it first she was nasty and focuses on the " signs warning people" then after some pushing I finally got her to gather help for her.. 0 sense of urgency while I had my wife on the phone in tears terrified of the terrane and wild animals on foot. The person she talked to about getting help seemed frustrated about it, really? Is it a ton of work to get a four wheeler and find her? I'm glad all made it down, will never go back. My wife day the day out after that while I tried to not ruin the day for the kids.. just glad she wasn't hurt on the way down the mountain read more

I had an amazing day at Bromley Mountain! As a beginner I figured I would sign up for a lesson, had Jack as an instructor and he was extremely personable and friendly. The two hours with him gave me the confidence to spend the rest of the day on my own. We stayed the whole day through lunch and drinks at the end. The mountain and facilities were very clean, well maintained, and all staff members were more than willing to help. Bromley comes highly recommended by me and I can't wait to go back read more
