An independent, old-school ski area in southern Vermont, popular with skiers who prefer challenging, natural terrain to crowded mega-resorts. It's known for steep runs, glades and a friendly, local feel, with good-value lift tickets; Thursday evening night skiing and the base-lodge bar add to the atmosphere.


There are inexpensive places to stay in Londonderry and Ludlow, and family-friendly ski lodges. The area is midway between Boston or New York and Montreal, and Vermont Translines and Greyhound buses run nearby.
