We've been to Mt. Peter before, many moons ago. It's a good place for beginner skiers. Definitely a…read moresmaller mountain than some others that are a bit of a longer drive away. It was ideal for our intentions. We brought our kiddo up here to try out skiing for the first time. We got private lessons for all of us but in hindsight, I think it's best to just have your child do the lesson on their own if you don't really require any for yourself, so that the instructor can focus on the child, and the child can focus on themself. There's plenty of space nearby where you can observe while also not being a distraction. We ended up just going up and down the bunny slope while she was having her lesson. That was kind of a waste of money on our part. As for the instruction, I was not too keen on it. Maybe because the instructor was younger and perhaps not used to smaller children. I wish it was an older instructor, maybe someone with their own kids, that could have better helped our kiddo understand what was being asked of her. The instructor kept asking her to move her feet in a certain way that was confusing for her, causing her to have trouble understanding how her feet should move for the "pizza pie" and "French fry" positions - IYKYK I feel like someone more seasoned, that perhaps has their own children, would go about the instruction with a different approach. The instructor brought our daughter up the conveyor belt and down the bunny hill a few times and I could see that our kid did not grasp the fundamentals before doing the hill. I almost wish that I would have just taken her up there on my own but it had been so long that I wasn't confident in myself to take on the task, until after I went down a few times myself, then it felt like second nature. Ultimately, I wanted her first experience to be fun so that she would want to do it again and again. I feel like because the whole experience was hard to grasp and felt like work, when the lesson was over, she was kind of defeated. My kid is courageous, so it's not an issue of being scared. She is just like us, where she enjoys a thrill and will try anything once, even if she's a little bit scared. This was a perfect opportunity to have her experience skiing and hopefully love it but the lesson did not go as planned and afterwards, she just wanted to leave. We talked her into resting a bit. I went up on a green hill by myself, while hubby took her to warm up and have a snack. They have woodfire pizza and the regular cardboard snacks on hand. It looks like they also have other food truck offerings on busier days. The pizza was great. The other food they offer is exactly what you'd expect in a cardboard snack: previously frozen burgers, fries, watered-down soups, chili. Their curly fires were OK, but the chicken noodle soup tasted like not so flavorful water and soft noodles from a used Campbell's can. After our brief snack, she decided she wanted to try the hill again, but wanted to go down the hill with me. I was delayed getting my skis because another visitor must have mistaken my skis for their, and removed them, so I had to go back and get another set. I'm happy there was no issue with that. She did go down the hill again and definitely was done with skiing at that point. Partially the fault of my husband and partially the fault of the conveyor operator. If I could have filmed her, she would have looked like a pro until she reached the bottom. Luckily, she did not get hurt but she did get the crap scared out of her with that downhill ride. She cried, we made sure nothing was broken and then we drove a ways to Mountain Creek for snow tubing, as the tubing hill at Mt. Peter was not in operation during our visit. We'll probably be back, without lessons and only get rentals and lift tickets, and hopefully convince our Little to enjoy the sport in the future.

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.

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.

We booked our private 30-person ski trip to Windham through Jason at NYMT and I can honestly say I…read moredon't think I'll ever look anywhere else when planning a group day trip out of NYC. As coordinator and tour guide, Jason was quick, courteous, and knowledgeable. His connections at various local ski resorts combined with his relationship with the bus company brought our prices down to less than what I would have paid had I booked it separately. But it was his services that I found to be absolutely essential to the efficiency of the operation, which included the booking of the bus & driver, ordering & distributing tickets, escorting our group through the rental process, and helping beginners get to their lessons. Without him, our day trip would have been way more stressful on me and nowhere near as fun for the group. So, do your homework, gather your prices, call the group booking desk at Hunter or Windham, and contact local buses for hire... But then do yourself a favor and call New York Mountain Tours. You'll save money, headaches, and time, and your group will think you're the hero!

The Lodge is rustic with basic sleeping accommodations and common areas that are part of a true mountain adventure. Nice fireplace, great room for dining and mixing it up with other guests and members. Plenty of comfortable seating around the fireplace and a nook for reading or relaxing. The kitchen is huge and well equipped. I was treated to a group dining experience that I was not expecting by other gusts who welcomed me with open arms. What is not to like. The members and regular guests are a great source of information and provided lots of inside information about the town and surrounding mountains. Did I mention that the lodge is close to Sugarbush Resort, and Mad River? it is also close to several other key destinations in Northern Vermont. Hiking, Downhill and Cross Country skiing, and year round outdoors activities abound. Overall a great experience and better than staying at the premium priced hotels in the area. Can't wait to get back.
