The Snow Bowl will never compete with the likes of Killington or Sugarbush, but as a fantastic place to spend the day skiing with family- it's well worth it. The terrain is varied and features a lot of winding, tight trails so typical of New England. Easy to move between the two main lifts, which run perpendicular to each other. Food in the lodge is good and inexpensive. Every run there's something new to explore and see, and the views west are beautiful.

My wife and I ski regularly at Burke Mt...On weekdays, we roll out of bed from our nearby house as late as we like and are on the Mt. by 10...and its all yours...There are no lines, no crowds, even the celebrated ski academy (Mikaela Shiffrin trained there) has its own dedicated lift and trail. When it is fully open (takes a bit longer than the mega resorts) the upper mountain provides a sweet variety of well groomed dark blues that tend to go straight down the mountain and are therefor quite consistently challenging for the average intermediate. I can't speak for the quality of the tree skiing, nor the ungroomed blacks, but suspect that they don't compare to big brother Jay; 40 minutes or so up the road. But if you have young uns with you or are a novice adult, the lower mountain is one of the more perfect places to develop skills. There is a moving carpet for beginners (not teeny-tiny either), followed by a T-bar which opens a substantial novice slope. Once you master that run, you can take the lower mountain chair, which opens a wide but lengthy green, perfect for further skill development with even two light blues available. The whole is perhaps among the best beginning to novice area in Vermont and the main chair is modern and fast. Combine all of this with being able to observe the training of some of the hottest, young skiers in the world, a new large scale hotel situated right between the upper and lower mountain and you have the perfect recipe for a family ski week. And weekends? Yeah, there are a few more people, you might have to wait 45 seconds to get on the lift.

Mountain and state park in Windsor, Vermont.

Nice Hike to the Tower. There is a person fee. Plenty of trails . You can drive to near the top of the mountain and hike about a mile to the Tower .. Great views for those who physically cannot hike. The tower hike about a mile. Not a tough hike, but it is still a incline hike . Beautiful scenery at the parking and once at the top of the tower scenery is amazing ..

A classic Vermont ski getaway, popular with families because of its excellent ski/snowboard school and child-friendly amenities.

Most people probably come here in Winter, but Stowe is as charming in Summer. The gondola ride to the (almost) top of the mountain is breathtaking, and the hiking trails from there are a lot of fun. Some are trails very treacherous, so be sure to wear proper shoes and be in proper shape to hike them. The views are wonderful. I highly recommend Stowe.
