Middlebury Snowbowl — Attraction in Hancock

This was our 4th trip in the last 5 years to the Snow Bowl. Each one of our previous visits would have been a 5 of out 5 stars; however, not this year. It’s not the same. There has been very little snow making at all so far this season, so, despite the great start to the season in November, nothing was added to build up a base for the holiday week. Despite the cold weather this past week, there was NO snow making. With the freeze / thaw / freeze this past week, the trails could have used a grooming one of the days … nothing was done. One Sunday, 30-Dec, one of the two operating lifts broke down late morning, so that rendered 4 of the 6 trails unusable. The lift was not returned to service. The fireplace even had an “out of order” sign posted on it all week (no joke). Very disappointed this week in the operations and will likely not be back if this is the...

...Just some perspective: I grew up in riding in the Sugarbush + Bolton area - two very decent sized mountains for Vermont. Been on a board size I was 6, and have shredded many a Vermont slopes.

The Snowbowl has immense potential for a great day...

Decent little mountain. Not very well groomed. More moguls, ditches, and flat areas than we're used to. Doesn't seem equipped to handle a large crowd. Friday after Christmas the cafeteria was so packed at 2pm there were no tables. The following day the parking lot spilled all the way to the next road over. It was a good time though. The "expert only" side should not have been labeled that. Our 8 year old did those trails just fine and the line for that lift was...
