Very limited snow making so they need real snow, but when they have it, it's absolutely amazing. Not the largest area, but it's filled with killer glades. Think back-country with a lift. Not for beginners. If blues seem a little scare to you, work your way up at a resort.

The hill is short but the runs are challenging. These are not the big wide open groomers of other hills so getting down takes time. The single chair makes the top of the mountain much less crowded. I highly recommend mid week visits. The feeling of solitude while skiing with the challenging terrain is like achieving a Zen like harmony with mountain around you.

New favorite east coast mountain! My legs are burning and I'm sad to leave!!! If i skied here every weekend I would be so much better. So fun and a nice change from the big resorts. The single chair was kind of a ride in and of itself Thought a slow single chair lift might be a PITA but it was really fun!!

Nice and cozy place. By far not the largest ski area in VT but very quaint. Iconic single chair lift (the only one in N.A.) takes you to the top of the mountain. Some very challenging runs. Little snow making and little grooming means "ski it if you can". Easy in and out drive to this mountain

This place is sick! Don't expect any amenities or luxury. This is a shut up and ski kinda place (how it should be). There's terrain for all abilities, but intermediate and advanced and experts will enjoy it most. The lower half of liftline is very fun. Their glades didn't appeal much to me, but in general this place is chill. I will definitely return. I will say though, $89 for a lift ticket ($59 half day) is quite steep for what you get here. Jay for example is $84 at the window and much cheaper online and offers more. Regardless, Mad River was awesome and I will definitely return.

The best place to ski in my book. Fell in love with MRG years ago and I've had trouble bringing myself to ski anywhere else since. Even if the terrain weren't so damn good the general vibe is warm and welcoming. You can always learn to ski better and this is the place to do it! The people are friendly, the environment is quiet, the snow is always real, and even the kids are great skiers. Added bonus, the cafeteria has pretty great food and the pub has a stellar beer selection for the end of the day. Unlike anywhere else and I'll never look back.

It's like going home! The best people, great food, beautiful mountain atmosphere - it's a little slice of heaven.

UNREAL!!! This is a place we will never forget. There’s no denying the surroundings at Mad River Glen are unique and gorgeous. Everything is skiable. Everything is authentic. From the heavens, not the hoses. That’s the slogan, as in the snow here is real snow. Home to the only single chair lift around. Expect deep snow banks and the kind of snow that pulls you off course if you aren’t in controlTake the GO PRO - pause if you can and grab some shots of chipmunk bowl and the waterfall.So many ski hills so little time. We only learned to ski in 2014 as a family and we are on a mission to ski as many amazing mountains as possible. This skiers only cooperative is the most beautiful spot we have ever skied. Friendly people that are really truly supportive and embrace every type of skier. There is also some incredible terrain. The food in the lodge is spectacular. LOVED it here and hope to return if we head to Vermont again this ski season.

We visited here in March 2017. It was crowded when we went on a Saturday after receiving 2 ft of snow, but it was worth it. The parking attendants are fabulous. They will will find spots where you think none exist. The lift lines were a little long, but it was worth the wait. Trails for all ability levels. Skiers dressed in costumes made it entertaining. It's an old school mountain with lots of charm.

I came from Ohio for a powder day after one of the major storms this past season. I drove 13 hours through the night and Mad River Glen was my first stop in Vermont. I hopped out of the car with no sleep to head up the lift. And it was worth it. The skiing is great and it is all that is hyped up to be. The locals were incredibly friendly, the snow was great, and the terrain was even better. What more could you ask for?

Mad River Glen is a skier's ski resort. The lodge is bare, the pub is small, and they don't waste money on providing amenities. But if you're here to ski, then you can do that. The single chair limits how many people can go up, so it's never crowded anywhere on the slopes. Skiers will usually request permission to pass you on narrower trails, but that doesn't happen often.

The terrain is challenging - don't come here planning to ski easy blues. This is where you find cliffs, trees, moguls, and true steeps.

The parking lot is small and fills early, so don't be late. Do not park blocking the road, you will be towed.

Also, military and their families ski free, all year. Just show your ID at the counter.

Good small mountain / old time feel. Definitely the best skiing of what the east coast has to offer. Almost every trail is natural snow only so take a look at snow conditions before you go.
