There seem to be lots of trails for cross country skiing and snowshoeing but for us, the practice area was plenty of space to try to build our confidence - and it was still lovey, with views of barns and snowy woods. The chocolate chip pancakes and vegetable soup were not just filling after lots of snowy outdoor activity but also so delicious- especially with the warm maple syrup!

It is a little gem in the Berkshires, with a nice network of well-marked, well-maintained trails, and enough topographic and scenic diversity to give a good workout in a pretty New England forest. The prices are very reasonable, and equipment is available for sale or rent. Bathroom facilities are available in the house, and the B&B dining room is a nice place to take a break between runs on a cold day or settle in for a snack and a cup of hot cocoa before going home. The proprietors, Linda and Dave, are very hospitable, as B&B hosts tend to be. Condition reports are posted on their website, and I have found them to be accurate. My son and I have been there several times, and it is one of our favorite places, well worth the trip for us to get in a fun day of skiing at a nice place with friendly, welcoming hosts.

It has an extensive and diverse trail network with a good mix of flats and steeper sections of varying length and pitch. Most trails have set tracks and a groomed area for free-form and skate skiing, and the staff does a nice job keeping the trails in shape. Its history as a downhill facility is evident in the old-time charm of its lodge, a post-and-beam building with basic, comfortable amenities including a hot wood stove and a kitchen staffed by friendly folks. There is a comfortable, relaxed ambience, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

When you drive in to the resort, the Aerial Adventure park is visible right away. When I first saw it, it seemed smaller than I expected and I thought we would be done in a flash. Let me assure you, the aerial adventure course is a LOT more complex than it looks and it was fun and challenging for all of us, from teens to older adults. There are two levels to the course - first you do the lower level and then if you want to try the more challenging higher level you move on to that. Both levels are included in your ticket. Each section of the course is unique: some have zip lines, there are some climbing sections to get from one point to another, some have balance activities, and some rely on strength and ingenuity. Everyone wears a harness, so you are always safe (I did end up dangling a few times and was grateful for the harness!). Staff here is awesome and they train you before you go up into the course. The Mountain Coaster is also fun, although when we went around noon on a summer Friday, we had to wait in line for about 45 minutes to get on. I am a scaredy cat when it comes to roller coasters, but I LOVED the Mountain Coaster, where I go to zip down a mountain surrounded by trees and nature, and I could control the speed. I would love to do this again, but would plan to go earlier in the morning to hopefully avoid the crowds.

We took a couple more runs and called it a day. Personally not a place I would come by myself. Terrain is not at my difficulty, and for the same drive I could be at bigger mountains. But, would not deter anyone from coming and would absolutely recommend here as a place to ski! Sunday 1.4.26

The process was a bit confusing, basically you need to buy your ticket inside prior to rentals - so do not make the same mistake as me and wait in rentals line before purchasing tickets. They have quite a few runs from greens to blacks. Undesignated forest runs as well. We went on a Saturday and the lines were not too bad. Part of the mountain was beginner friendly, and the other part was more 'advanced.' The parking sitch wasnt too bad, easy parking in front but I recommend getting there early if possible.

First, let me start by saying this is a cute little local mountain. The trails are fun. The staff…read moreis nice. And the lodges are nice as well. The issue, I believe, is with management. This mountain has the absolute worst management of any ski mountain I have ever been to. My family and I first discovered this mountain last year. So last year after having visited for an early year day ski trip we made plans to stay nearby for a couple of nights and ski a couple of days. Literally, the evening before we were set to arrive they called me to inform me that the mountain would be closed the next day as they were having problems with their lifts. Obviously, we were extremely upset having paid for a non-refundable hotel stay. I explained this to them and they were completely nonplussed. They acted as if though they were doing me a favor by refunding me my tickets....because they were closing the mountain. I spoke to one of their managers and she was absolutely unsympathetic. She simply could not care less. It was incredible. That was the last time we visited that mountain for the season. Fast forward to TODAY. I thought the above was a fluke. So I booked night skiing for my son and I. For TODAY at 3PM. They literally called me at 12:45p TODAY, while we were on our way driving up to tell me that they had canceled night skiing because...."it's going to be cold". No sh$& Sherlock. It's a ski mountain. What were you people expecting??? I skied Killington about a month ago. And it was around 3 degrees when we arrived to the mountain. Guess what, they were open. But, beyond this the people at Catamount actually called me 1 hour and 15 minutes before my ski time. To. Cancel!! WTF is wrong with these people. They didn't know it was going to be cold yesterday or the day before that or days before?!!! Come the f' on?!?! Again, they were completely nonplussed. The unprofessionalism and complete insensitivity for their customers is staggering. After this, I don't think we'll ever go back. Actually, I was planning to go with a group of friends this Friday. I think we'll go to another mountain. The management of this mountain sucks. You have been warned. Update: so they refunded my tickets. But, get this. They are still charging me a "booking fee". Can you frikin believe it?!?! They canceled on ME and they are trying to charge me a booking fee!!! Again, WTF?!?!?! The management at this mountain is the ABSOLUTE WORST!!!! DO NOT GO HERE!

Their website boasted of offering accommodations for small groups of 15. When I called, I was told that our group was too small for a group rate and even if I had extra attendees because the weekend we chose was a holiday weekend, a group rate would not be available. I then called a popular ski resort in the Catskills, who were less helpful than the resort in Massachusetts. I finally called Willard. The lady I spoke with walked me through the entire registration process for my party. When we arrived, we found very helpful and friendly staff. One staff member even helped me convince my daughter's very reluctant dad to try snowboarding. The staff distributing the rental equipment were equally pleasant and helpful. The snowboarding instructors went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. They quickly individualized lessons according to how quickly our snowboarders grasped concepts. My group left the mountain, with the hope of returning! Thank you staff of Willard for an amazing time and making my daughter's 16th birthday memorable.
