This family-owned ski area features six lifts and 71 trails, boasting a vertical drop of 1,700 feet, making it a budget-friendly alternative with lift tickets under $100. Bolton distinguishes itself not just with price but also by cultivating a niche for backcountry skiing, highlighted by its 1,200-acre powder preserve, the Bolton Backcountry. The resort's charm lies in its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to accessibility, prioritizing experience over luxury.
Bolton Valley Resort stands out among the larger neighboring resorts due to its affordability, unique backcountry offerings, and a friendly, understated atmosphere.
As Lindsay DesLauriers, Bolton Valley President, states, "We have Formica in the bathrooms, not marble," emphasizing the resort's focus on accessibility rather than luxury.
