Review from Andrea G.

What a fantastic mountain! I would never have skied here if it weren't for my stint in the Vermont Alpine Racing Association. The Middlebury Snowbowl is marked by a few very long, very varied trails, and there is a lodge at the bottom with large windows so race spectators don't even have to go outside to watch the bottom part of a G.S. race, or all of a Slalom race.
The Snowbowl is really more of an Icebowl, but is STILL just a LOT OF FUN. The G.S. course is by far the scariest one I have ever skied, and I always dreaded racing here because the first four turns of the course are blind. I imagine that trail isn't so easy without gates in it either.
There is also plenty of legal, off-piste, backwoods skiing here. My teammates and I found a pond in the middle of the mountain! How cool is that?
Definitely a great hill for college students, that's for sure. I wouldn't bring your kids here. It's just too challenging, and most of the hill's patrons are probably stoned anyway.Listed in: Skiing in the Northeast

Can you really complain about $100 season passes, or the free shuttle to your college's own mountain? Not when you're barreling down a 25% grade, 1/2 mile long ice cube. Frozen solid in the winter, slushy and grassy in the spring, Snowbowl will tame the average California skier. It will make him cry, curse and bleed. And then he'll thank it and ask for another. Thanks for the good times, Snowbowl.

We love this ski area. We took one child for a lesson this weekend and then played outside with our two year old (and a complimentary pair of strap on skis) while we waited. The instructor was excellent.
