Mad River Glen is one of the most unique ski areas in the country, famous for its legendary expert terrain, beautiful and varied beginner and intermediate trails, and, of course, the nation's last surviving single chairlift. The extensive trail system follows the contours of General Stark mountain to a single base area, making it easy for families and friends to ski together.
Located in central Vermont’s picturesque, Mad River Valley and only a 3-mile drive from the Sugarbush Resort. About 45 miles southeast of Burlington via I-89, 3 hours from Boston & Hartford, 2 hours from Montreal, and 6 hours from New York City.
