20 min drive. A locally owned coop ski area, it is one of the few that does not allow snowboarding. It is also a more technically challenging ski area than some of the others in the area with good vertical drop. If you're looking for some moguls, you found them.

Ski it IF YOU CAN! 17 miles away over spectacular route 17, a bit further along is Sugarbush.

If you have never skied Mad River Glen before you should understand what to expect because it isn’t like most any ski area you have ever been. So what is it that makes Mad River Glen so special and unique? It’s a combination of many things, and for every skier the answer is a little different. The area’s character, the result of a long and proud history, reflects the terrain and natural beauty. There is a special camaraderie among the skiers, with its co-op ownership, natural snow conditions, non-commercial, family-friendly atmosphere, dedicated staff, and – of course- the Single Chair, America’s favorite ski lift. Mad River Glen offers the most challenging and diverse ski terrain in New England. The trails were cut to follow the mountain’s natural contours. On the one hand skiers can descend the entire 2,037’ of vertical on true expert terrain with absolutely no run-outs. On the other hand, Mad River’s mountain layout with a single base area makes it an ideal family mountain with plenty of blues and greens to satisfy every level of skier. The Single Chair (and our 3 double chairs) limit uphill capacity thus guaranteeing low skier density on the trails even on the busiest days. Mad River Glen is one of the last bastions of natural snow skiing in New England and is one of only three areas in North America that prohibit snowboarding. Combined, these qualities create a ski experience that stands in stark contrast to the mainstream world of skiing. The various facets of the Mad River ski experience appeal to different skiers in different ways, but together they create a sense of place that is truly unique. The mission of the Mad River Glen Cooperative is to protect and preserve these special qualities. The skier-owners of Mad River Glen invite you to discover for yourself the experience we are dedicated to preserving.

Legendary Vermont ski area. No frills, no snowboarding, very little in the way of snowmaking or grooming. When the natural snow is deep, there is nothing like it. Classic.

Mad River Glen is a skier's mountain. Old school. Excellent terrain. Great vibe. Famous among expert shredders. Easy to get to from New Haven. Probably not the place to go with a bunch of beginners or young children.
