My family and I haven't been skiing 🎿 in years. We changed that this week by visiting this awesome spot. Club house is beautiful and new. Everything was very clean and employees extremely friendly/helpful. Colby was a true rockstar, my dad had lost his wallet and he notified us of the proper channels. He was very welcoming to us and eventually we found the wallet! Colby was running the blue ski lift and brought with him a can do attitude and his communication was first class. Also, notable was the entire tubing staff from Wednesday and Thursday. We enjoyed both skiing and tubing here. As a result, I highly recommend this place. The mountain has some easy parts along with some very challenging. There is a bunny slope for practice if you haven't been in awhile. They offer lessons, quick eats at the cafeteria, or restaurant/bar. Very reasonably priced for rentals/skiing/tubing. The lady at the front who checks people in for tubing is doing a stellar job too. She's a bills fan, but I won't hold it against her 🤣👌 5 🌟

Snow Tubing Review: You will be waiting longer than you will be Tubing! The problem with this tubing hill is that it's lanes are too short and everyone at the top of the hill must wait for everyone at the bottom of the hill to fully exit ALL the lanes at the bottom before being allowed to slide down. There are ~10 Tubing lanes. Once at the bottom of the hill everyone must walk across the other lanes to exit where the magic carpet lift takes them back up the mountain. The one exit path that goes across the tubing lanes is not at the end of the tubing lanes, it's BEFORE the end, so a person going down the hill on their tube will hit you, hence why everyone at the top must wait until everyone has cleared the bottom before being able to slide down. This is the first time I've been Tubing at a ski resort where it's been like this. Add to the fact that smaller children who rode alone were getting stuck because their tube would stop halfway down the track, our day turned into 2 hours of more waiting than tubing. Two of my children simply didn't care for this at all and didn't find it fun. We attempted to leave and get our money back, but were informed there are no refunds. Unfortunately I wouldn't return to go tubing here again, and I wouldn't recommend this tubing hill to anyone else. There is another tubing option 25 minutes away at butternut that we found much more fun.

We spent 5 days skiing here and for 4 days we had a great time. Unfortunately, on the last day ALL the snow making machines were turned on. Right in your face, freezing blizzard every few meters, on every trail, INCLUDING lifts. After 1 ride we were miserable. After 4 rides the kids were crying. We were told Drifter had machines off but there was still 1 on top and at least 2 at the bottom plus the machines blowing on lifts. On top of that, the lodge is still not available and none of the portable fireplaces were on, when requested we got only a shrug of shoulders. What makes me the saddest though is that although the harsh conditions were caused by the BM, they were not very worried about that. “That is how industry works.”- we were told. I have some suggestions for BM: - Close the mountain for the maintenance when turning in ALL of the machines. - Inform clients booking tickets, especially families with kids, you will have an entire day of snow making. - Refund the tickets, despite your policy. You will be running for the next weeks with your snow but you have surely lost 6 clients forever!

Great ski resort. I started coming to Bousquet about 6 or 7 years ago. More recently, they completely renovated the lodge and the new building is a HUGE upgrade. They take good care of it and it creates a nice atmosphere here. The mountain itself is smaller compared to other ski areas in New England, but this is still a great place for a more relaxed skiing/boarding experience. The runs are fun and have a few challenging spots. Unfortunately you end up doing the same runs over and over due to the limited number of trails, especially when there hasn't been much snowfall and some trails are closed off. But Bousquet is still a nice place if you just want to relax and cruise down the trails for a while. Prices are pretty reasonable for a ski resort actually. Weekdays are cheapest and go for around $50 or so for 4 hours, or I think just a few dollars more for 8 hours, so it's usually worth getting an 8 hour pass. Altogether this is a nice place - nothing groundbreaking, but you'll enjoy your visit.

The snow was good but the resort is one of the worst I've seen: - Rotting chairs (see photo chair 25 on the yellow chair was the worst but not the only one). - Badly designed chairs from the 70's with the safety bar hitting us several time over the head catching my son's arm but the worst we've seen was a girl getting her head caught and almost falling from height. - Attendant dozing off stopped chair late causing a woman to fall while getting off the chair injuring her knee and hip. - Disorganized cafeteria unprepared for more than a few people. - Slippery wet concrete floors everywhere in the cafeteria caused my son to slip and fall twice. - Dirty bathrooms with toilets that don't flush properly. No paper towels. One old air drier that barely blows any air. - Price is lower than other local places but were it not for the good snow it would have not been worth it.

Ok, I shopped many different places for snowboarding lessons as a gift for my son for Christmas and overall this seemed to be the best bang for the buck. To say they blew it out of the park is an understatement! Specifically I would like to say the first guy he had (can’t remember his name somebody’s nephew I think, but he left for college) was amazing!! Then there was Lucas I believe who really brought the fun, Eli adored him. Then at the last lesson we had Quinn. Completely amazing!! Quinn taught him so much in such a short period of time, patience beyond and super fun! They were goofing around and having a ball!! We also did a family ski lesson and fell in love with skiing and just Bousquet all around! So much we got season tickets and can’t wait until next year!!! WELL DONE BOUSQUET!!
