Mt Snow:
Mount Snow is one of eastern USA's largest resorts as well as Vermont's closest big mountain to the New York City area. The sprawling resort features 26 lifts serving 135 trails over five separate mountains with north, south and east facing slopes. Altogether there is more than 50 miles (80km) of trails at Mount Snow, the longest about two and a half miles in length.
A highlight for snowboarders is Mount Snow's Super "X" Pipe, a nice treat from the X-Game's. Additional highlights include the "Grommet" -- a special for-kids-only terrain park (adults must be accompanied by a child age 12 or under).
Off the slopes Mount Snow has built the Grand Summit Hotel and Crown Club, the American Skiing Company's feature hotel model. The hotel includes a heated outdoor pool and ski-in/ski-out accommodation to the base area.

Stratton:
Owned by Intrawest, Stratton is the epitome of a full-service ski resort. Stratton installed the first high-speed six-seat detachable chair in 1995 and it offers a profusion of fun-packed activities and events for everyone in the family including nordic skiing, ice skating, sleigh rides and a Sports Center with pool. In addition, the slopeside village is lined with an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants that will entice you.
Stratton is committed to superior snowmaking and grooming but there is plenty of raw terrain as well. Terrain gardens, carving parks, over 70 acres of glades, bumps, playgrounds and various hits are scattered across the resort.
Just a short drive away, scenic Manchester offers different kinds of attractions. From Armani and Ralph Lauren to Timberland and Brooks Brothers, there are over 70 designer outlets plus an abundance of fine dining options.

Okemo:
Located in the Black River Valley of central Vermont, Okemo Mountain Resort has been transformed from a small local ski area in the early 1980's into one of the northeast's leading resorts. Unlike much of the competition in the rapidly consolidating ski industry, Okemo is independently owned by Tim and Diane Mueller. The Muellers have invested nearly $200 million in facility improvements during the years.
On-mountain condominiums, along with privately owned homes, are a big part of the landscape at Okemo and provide the ultimate in ski-in/ski-out convenience. Okemo's slopeside condominiums range from 1 to 5 bedrooms and offer all the amenities of home.
Tucked beautifully into the base of Okemo's Jackson Gore peak, The Jackson Gore Inn is Okemo's newest ski-in/ski-out accommodations. The Inn combines the warmth and allure of the Vermont countryside with the ambiance of a fine hotel. The rooms range in size from artfully appointed guestrooms accommodating four people, up to opulent 3-bedroom suites equipped to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests.
The Jackson Gore base area features its own unique collection of restaurants and shops, as well as a dedicated high-speed quad lift, a 400-foot carpet lift, a Learning Center desk, Equipment Rental Center, Snow Sports Shop as well as parking areas.
On the slopes, Okemo's snowmaking and grooming teams are recognized nationally for overall snow quality and consistency. The mountain is a perfect choice for snowboarders and freestyle skiers, as it features two super pipes and five terrain parks. Okemo's has over 610 skiable acres with 95% covered by snowmaking.
Directly below Okemo Mountain, the village of Ludlow offers a fine blend of shops, restaurants and attractions. Ludlow offers many outdoor winter activities including ice skating, sleigh rides, and snowmobiling.
