RootDKJ Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Date(s) Skied: Jan 7 2010 Resort or Ski Area: Bolton Valley Conditions: 2"-3" fresh. Groomed & cold. Trip Report: My first time at Bolton Valley, scored a $22 ticket off Liftopia. I can see why people love this place. No-frills lodge and a great mountain. The main quad needs to be upgraded to a high-speed lift though. Great views all over BV and I love how you can see the lake from some trails. It was pretty cold (I even used hand warmers) so I just took my time and took a few pit stops in the lodge. It seemed like the whole place is above the frost line, very cool. Oh yeah...off loading at the mid-station = way cool. I stuck around to try some VT night skiing. I think this is more fun (or less cold) in PA, maybe because all the mountain is available (variety). I had a blast however. Some of the local jibhonks clued me into the mid-day grooming on Shermans, so we got some 3pm 1st tracks. Snow was so buttery soft and I just let them rip with out fear of any red-coats. On my next trip to Northern VT, I'll be sure to pick a day and get back here. Anyway, enjoy the pics. The lodge 1st ride up 1st run down Snowmaking It looks like a groomer made some unanticipated contact with some electrical lines, so the top part of Sherman's was closed all day.

RootDKJ Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Thanks John. It was a great trip, but I would have liked to get a bit more of a dump while I was there. A few inches of fresh every day kept the snow nice, dry and powdery though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
