Green Mountains

The Green Mountains are home to some of New England’s oldest and most famous ski areas—many a youngster has learned ski technique here. Each mountain has its own distinctive style of skiing and skiers often will have their favorite. Studying the individual ski area descriptions of elevation, number of trails, degree of difficulty, and overall size should make a decision easier as to which to visit. As always, the mid-week package lift ticket is the most economical way to enjoy skiing on any mountain. Don’t count these areas out at other times of the year—many of them run their ski lifts for visitors in the fall when the foliage can be enjoyed from a unique perspective on high.
