This past visit I was absolutely thrilled with the lift crew on Bear Mountain. I think they enjoyed my company as much as I did theirs. The fresh snow made it easy to ski all day.

Tubbing is great , except for the line that pulls you back up the hill . That is simply terrible , difficult to get out of and it's just a matter of time before someone gets injured trying to come out of it . I almost fell on the other side of the line and the staff just stood there and made no attempt to help , with that I injured my hand trying to hold on to the line . They certainly need better staff and a better system .

This place is a masterclass in neglect. The ski infrastructure is severely dilapidated, outdated,…read moreand constantly breaking down. Lifts stop, crawl, or fail outright. The lifties are nice, but they're stuck managing equipment that should've been replaced years ago. Reddit skiers have been saying the same thing for years: "lifts constantly down," "painfully slow," and "not worth the ticket price." Many warn you'll spend more time waiting than skiing. Alta has zero incentive to invest with Killington right up the road doing everything better. Calling this a "ski resort" is generous. If you value your time or money, drive by and keep going.

Met a great friend there after an hours travel. Although the trip to Pico adds another 20 minutes…read moreto my schedule, it was well worth it. Pico is a separate part of Killington Resort with a primarily local clientele and devoid of the road raging attitudes of some of the visitors. It has a genuinely New England vibe from the parking lot all the way to the top of the mountain. The parking lots have plenty of space. The main lodge has a New England functional vibe, a bit rough and that's how people like it. Once on the slopes, the trails tend to be very New England, with narrow trails, plenty of tight tree glades, and one high speed with the rest of the lifts being fixed quads. Sking Pico is a pleasure. It may not have the vertical of Killington, with just under 2,000 at Pico and 3,000 at Killington. But what it lacks in vertical it more than makes up in customer experience. Killington's ethos is "The Beast", loud, boisterous, gargantuan.... Pico is the exact opposite. Quiet, friendly, local, sedate. Ambassadors and Ski Patrol will assist you anywhere. The food at the cafeteria doesn't have a French name but it's wholesome, hearty, tasty. Loooooong ago, there was a move to connect Killington and Pico with cross trails to each. Massive local opposition and ecological issues put a kabash on the idea. As a result, Pico is next to Killington but it's another world in ski experience.

As for food, it will be expensive as typical ski resorts are but I really highly recommend finding the Jamaican food shack and getting food from there! You can get some jerk chicken, Rasta pasta, and nicely flavored and well spiced items unlike just getting the typical chicken tenders and fries. It's all around the same price anyway so might as well get some well seasoned food.

Prices are not too bad (if compared to Killington) and the slopes are well maintained. The people there helped to put on and take off my ski boots (which is always a hassle after being exhausted from the day). I wish I lived closer because this place was perfect. They have a food court with quick options, a bar with a more elaborate menu, and an indoor and outdoor fire pit. Their bar/restaurant Perley's is where we had lunch. My only complaint was the prices for this place. $25 for a cheese burger and fries is criminal. I would stick with the foodcourt instead of bar food.

History, class, comity, and fun. Saskadena Six is a wonderful place for a family and everyone…read moreelse. A skiers' and rider's mountain where old New England still lives. The resort is owned by the venerable Woodstock Inn, a gem of national distinction. And the upscale air is evident in the friendliness and poise of the staff at Saskadena. A huge lodge with historical pictures everywhere, including memorializing the first motorized life transportation in the US, a 900 foot rope tow built in 1934. Formerly named Suicide Six, the resort centers around a modern yet charming lodge with a huge hearth, a bustling cafeteria, and a well stocked bar. The resort is a scant eight minute ride from the beautiful town of Woodstock, where the Rockefeller and Billings legacy is still visible. Parking at Saskadena Six is not an issue, the parking areas are close to the lodge and a ramp takes the visitor to the lodge area. Saskadena Six has been a part of the Indy Pass for a few years now, and it has become a family favorite. Entering the lodge, one can perform ticket purchases inside or outside. Donning boots and equipment is done in benches and chairs in the lodge, with inside cubicles around the walls. The lodge has plate glass windows on its entire slope facing side, providing beautiful views of the ski area. Once ready to hit the slopes, the nearest lift is the fixed quad that takes the visitor to the 1,200 foot summit. The resort has a 650-foot vertical drop, featuring 24 runs on 100 acres.. Besides the quad, Saskadena sports a double lift on the far side of the resort, and a J-bar. The challenging Show Off run is a steep, mogul filled track, while The Face and Crystal are parallel black diamonds. Several other runs feature both natural, groomed and mogul filled. Saskadena Six usually gets 110 inches of yearly snow, augmented by a vigorous snowmaking system. Dining at Saskadena Six is quick and efficient. A roped off area separates the alcohol-served areas from the rest of the lodge. Several local brews are on tap, as well as national selections. Skiing Saskadena is a pleasure. Small but quite pleasant, devoid of the stress of the larger ski areas in New England. Its history and charm are welcome assets in an industry where sterility seems to be popular. Terrain is rated 30% beginner, 40% intermediate and 30% advanced.

About the property, it is nice and seems well cared for and has beautiful views of the reservoir and surrounding mountains. Rooms are a bit dated, but clean. All the staff we met were very friendly. We had a chance to eat dinner at the restaurant on site and we were pleasantly surprised at the caliber of the food, well above standard "hotel" dining. This carried through to the food which was served to us at the wedding, again well above what we expected. There are a variety of activities available, but we felt that the property didn't quite rise to the "resort" bar. Again, winter might be completely different.

From the main lodge are a couple of very short and slow lifts that take you up to areas which give you access to additional lifts. I really liked the variety of runs and that it wasn't overcrowded.

My only complaint was how slow most of the lifts are... but that didn't detract much from my overall experience.

I have skied Okemo Mountain Resort several times during my road trips to Vermont. Okemo is part of…read morethe Epic Pass resorts owned by Vail which means that if you buy a pass early you can get skiing a reasonable rate, in 2026 the multiday pass was about $75 a day. Getting to the resort is easy, it is located just off the main street of Ludlow, Vt., which was about a 30 minute drive from where we were staying in Londonderry, Vt. There are a number of parking lots; both days we arrived early so we had a choice of the 2 free lots near the base area. Equipment drop off is easy and the walk from the lots is not too far. The biggest issue is to get through the resort to the base lodge entails quite a lot of stairs. The lodge itself is what you would expect, nothing fancy but more than serviceable. The restrooms and changing areas are downstairs, which is made a bit harder by the angled staircase, which can be a bit challenging when you are in ski boots. The changing areas have seasonal lockers, rental lockers and free racks for bag storage which is appreciated. At the base lodge you have 2 lifts that take you up the beginner area and allows you to access the rest of the mountain. The main lift for the main face is a high speed 6 pack with ubble covers for the chairs. From the top you can make it to the other areas of the mountain. We skied all of the areas of the resort the Main Face, the South Face, Solitude and Jackson Gore. Okemo is great for cruising the Blues and groomed Black runs. Even though the conditions were icy and not everything was open Okemo provides plenty of variety and skiing. I really enjoy skiing at Okemo, the mountain is pretty easy to navigate. There are a wide variety of runs especially for intermediate skiers. A really fun and enjoyable couple of days skiing.

(Marty saved me so much time and $$; I got everything I needed in one place, on my way to the mountain :) I initially came in just to have my binding settings adjusted, but after talking with me extensively about my skiing habits, reviewing all the binding guidelines, and discussing my strong desire to not incur knee injuries (lol), we decided to leave the settings as they were. Marty had thoroughly checked the binding release action on both points of both skis, and I had the benefit of his expertise, so I expected to pay at least something for that, but he declined any payment. So, I took the opportunity to have him give my skis a much-needed sharpening and wax, which he did, by hand, in about 20-30 minutes. We had a very nice chat while he worked; he's got all the local insider info about Killington and the area! He asked where I was off to next, and I explained that I was going to goodwill to try to find a cheap ski jacket, having forgotten mine as it was hung in a closet rather than bagged with the rest of my gear, and I was happy to discover that he also rents ski jackets- a too-well-kept secret! Don't expect anything fancy, but if you want something to keep you warm, for only $10/day, come here!! Later on, as I worked my way down some classic early-season black diamond trails, with generally great conditions but also the usual skiied-off areas, and my friends talked about how icy the trails were, I realized that the edge sharpening had made a huge difference for me! Cannot recommend this place enough for its value, service, and awesome vintage vibe!!

By my calculations, his prices are about half when compared to the resort's onsite ski rentals. Thanks Marty for the great service and see you next time!
