Please be aware that on Mon & Tue they only have a few lifts running which limits variety. Otherwise, a fun mountain with good conditions. They also have wonderful snow shoeing trails up into th hills above the resort.

We love Bolton Valley! A perfect place for a family ranging in ability and have no need for the upper level terrain, or price that comes with it. The mountain is manageable allowing for families to split off when needed while assured the ability to regroup. I grew up skiing here and I am now travelling from out of state to bring my family.

Liftopia had great deals. Bolton Valley was a great mountain to ski/ snowboard on for ALL levels. A beginner ski lesson was great and the staff was so helpful!!!! We had a great time but it was too cold- it was -5F in the early morning at the top of the mountain. I would recommend both using this website to buy lift tickets and Bolton Valley to ski.

My second White Christmas Skiing Day on a row. Loved it. Great spirit and staff service. I'll definitely come back next year. Go Bolton Valley go.

Haven't got there yet.. going this Thurs (12/22/11), but not happy to see that Liftopia has just dropped the price a buck! (was $19, now is $18). Ok, not a big deal but ...
For anyone who bought tix for this (current) week (12/12...12/1511), you will have discovered that the mountain was closed. I sent an email to Taylor last week about this closure, along with links to Bolton's web page stating that it would be closed. I noticed later that liftopia did NOT remove the $19 tickets anyway. I don't know why.
contact me: bolton_at_liftopia at davidvancamp.com if you need evidence for a refund.
I'm hoping for great conditions this Thurs!! Today, however sucked (rain, rain rain :() Yesterday was awesome at Loon, NH tho!!!!!! Loon rocks! :)

Skied Sunday 3/27. Nice pp groomers and enough recent fresh to find occasional pow stashes by crossing to Wilderness (lift closed) Area. Timberline was all great, many glades still open.
A real Winter day despite Spring date @ +15 on summit w/stiff winds that Bolton's known for. (Layer dress!) Should be good skiing thru last day - see liftopia 4 $values.
Recent capitol investments show on the hill, though Mtn. is once again 4 sale, though seems better run then in past decades/owners. I'll go back and hope the same ++ staff is there!

Great place, good glades that don't get too much traffic. A few long groomers with good pitch, plus a good tavern with nachos and beer.

Another fabulous day at Bolton on Saturday the 26th! Snow falling - hula hoop contests - pond skim...doesn't get any better...oh wait...if they weren't closing this coming weekend it would be better...so much snow and so little time! Everyone is so friendly there and they have terrain for all levels - we had a blast in the glades w/ all the fresh powder!

Was at Bolton on Fri 25Mar with my girlfriend who is a beginner/intermediate. Snow conditions were great, glades were good, no crowds. Wilderness lift was closed but they still had plenty of terrain for both of us. Skied until 7 with natural light, which was nice. Would definitely go back.

Its VT best kept little secret!!

Skiied at Bolton Valley on 3-17 and 3-18. Its not Stowe or even Sugarloaf for that matter. Its like a much larger version of Hunter Mountain with great glade skiing and three separate peaks. Timberline while the lowest elevation faces less wind issues which are a major problem for Bolton Valley. Wilderness was barely open as as of 3/21 will be closed for the season. A shame since its the best terrain at Bolton. Food is not bad nor is bar but resort is in need of serious TLC. Parking lot is a minefield and amenities are none. No retail shop, forget about getting your boards tuned, its basic but that's a great thing as its relatively empty and with lifts open till 5PM and night skiing this place is a must visit. I would come back for Brandywine and a few other select trails at the prices liftopia gets why not.

A great variety of terrain for all levels of skiers. Nice old New England windy beginner and intermediate terrain and 'Preacher' is some of the steepest glades in the east. Friendly staff. Plenty of snow and great spring skiing on St. Patrick's day. Definetly worth the trip.
