    If you're coming from NYC or Boston, Mount Snow is the most bang-for-your-buck mountain in Southern…read moreVermont. It strikes the perfect balance between high-speed efficiency and classic East Coast après vibes. The Mountain: 86 Trails of Pure Variety With 86 trails, there is a clear "mood" for every face of the mountain. The Main Face: Where the Bluebird Express (the famous six-pack bubble chair) lives. It's 66% intermediate, making it a "blue cruiser" heaven. North Face: Hit this if you want the steep stuff and glades. It's where the expert terrain hides. Carinthia: 100 acres of pure terrain park. Even if you don't hit jumps, riding the lift over this area to watch the pros is a show in itself. When to Visit Go: Late January through early March for the best snow. Mid-week is the "pro move" to avoid the Epic Pass weekend crowds. Avoid: Holiday weekends. The lines at the Bluebird can get brutal. The Logistics: Fireplaces & Live Music The Vibe: For that classic lodge feel, head to the Grand Summit Resort or the Fireplace Lodge. There is nothing better than thawing out your boots by a massive stone hearth. The Party: You haven't truly "done" Mount Snow until you hit Cuzzins. The live music here (look for local legend Bruce Jacques on Saturdays) is electric. It's loud, high-energy, and the quintessential "dancing in your ski boots" experience. The Mandatory Pitstop: Vermont Country Deli Do not--I repeat, do not--drive back south without stopping at the Vermont Country Deli in Brattleboro. The Order: Get the Mac and Cheese. It's roughly $4.29 per 1/2 lb (or $12.99 for a "Take & Bake" tray). It's famous for its heavy, crispy cheddar crust and creamy center. Pro Tip: Add their maple pulled pork on top. It's life-changing. Verdict: A world-class lift system and the best terrain park in the East. Just be prepared for $199+ window tickets if you don't book in advance!

    --To ski for one day on a Sunday with lift tickets and rentals was $500. The lift tickets were $350…read moreand the rentals were $150. --Once I got past the sticker shock, we had a great day of skiing. Most of the trails were open, and the conditions were amazing. The staff at the mountain were all very helpful, friendly, and professional. The mover vans were convenient, taking us from the lodging to the mountain. They run every 15 minutes like clockwork. --Speaking of sticker shock the food at the mountain is very expensive, like ridiculously expensive. Six dollars for a 12 ounce bottled water! $8.50 for a waffle with some chocolate syrup on it? Even the 'authentic' NY pizza is $10 a slice and the slices are small and don't even really look like NY pizza. --The saving grace with the food would definitely be the macaroni and cheese, and they have many versions: like Pesto!. It comes out hot in these giant skillets. Definitely the winner if you're eating on the mountain, but I would suggest bringing your own food and water or else you're going to get fleeced. --Although the skiing and food were very expensive, the experience was worth it, and we will definitely be returning. --FYI-People from Vermont are super nice and helpful. TY.

Must try lessons if never skii before the staff is very helpful and patient. Making it a yearly trip because we had so much fun. Was a very nice experience for me.

    We purchased a mid week ski/stay package during peak season- literally school vacation week. We…read morelearned very quickly that this resort is appealing to their weekender/New Yorkers crowd. Despite peak season, the mid week visitors do not have access to the same features of the resort. Pretty much the entire village was shut down- stores, restaurants, coffee! I am still shocked by how difficult it was to get coffee on this trip. There were no dining options during our stay except for Table 43.1 which I reviewed separately. Dining on the mountain was easier, being able to get food in the lodges. I know lodges can be expensive in general, but Stratton took it to a new level. We paid $20 for a tiny, plain kids cheeseburger which was too awful to eat. Oh and the gondola was broken down so there was no direct lift to the summit. It also was the most hiking I've ever had to do while skiing- lots of flat and up hill parts. We paid a lot of money for an experience that wasn't matched in quality. I also signed my son up for an insanely expensive ski lesson which they started a half hour late due to faulty fire alarms going off in their check in area. Overall we had a great time because we chose to make the most of it and enjoy our family time skiing, but the village was so disappointing and the prices were outrageous. It left a terrible taste in our mouth and we won't be coming back here. There are superior resorts in the same state.

Wow did I have the best time! I did know about this place until I moved to the area. They have so much going on here. Mtn biking is huger this place with some great trails. They have a mountain coaster too. They got my attention for a go to destination. The ziplining team was great. They have a basic run and more advance run. We took the adv one. We will be back for more events no doubt !"

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.
