Middlebury College Snow Bowl is a fine resort to ski. The whole area seems to have stopped in time from the 60s. That only adds to the resorts unique qualities. The resort retains it's rustic charm and hasn't been tempted to build chunks of concrete on the slopes.
Easy to learn the ropes as there are lessons available. The people are friendly and it is a great place for families. Expert skiers will find some good runs towards the top and snowboarders have a park and can use the runs.
Best of all the place remains uncrowded without queues. |
