Bolton ValleyA high base elevation and a location next door to Vermont's tallest peak do much to maintain Bolton's reputation for reliable snow. From the 2,035-foot base the slopes rise 1,625 feet. It's modest, perhaps, by big mountain standards, but Bolton packs a lot of variety between base and summit.

Todays Inside Scoop

Well, the last day of winter was a lovely one, with the sun shining overhead and warm temperatures again hitting the upper-50s. Spring ought to get off to a similar start, today, as sunshine will battle with some clouds, and well above normal highs approach 50F. Winds out of the west will be gusty, but conditions will still feel mild and spring-like. That just seems appropriate.The numbers for today couldn't be easier:..everything's open. We plan to spin all 6 lifts, beginning at 8:30am with the Vista Quad. They will serve all 64 trails, and all 3 terrain parks. Well flip the lights on for night skiing until 8pm this evening, featuring Bolton After Dark: $19 night skiing tickets, $2 pizza, and $2 beer. Our diligent groomers will smooth out about 39 trails overnight, leaving surfaces to undergo the usual spring cycle: firm loose and frozen granular early in the morning, softening nicely as temperatures rise. Ungroomed terrain will be more variable, and likely require more time to soften. And don't forget that 2010-11 Season Passes are on sale at the lowest prices they will ever be but those prices increase after April 4th. Also, if you buy that pass now, you can use it to ski free the rest of this season.

Lessons for Kids 12 and under just $29 As part of Bolton Valley's commitment to continually offer great value to families, the resort has reduced prices on group lessons for kids 12 and under. For the remainder of the season group lessons for kids 12 and under are just $29, a savings of over 30% off the retail price of a group lesson. The two hour group lesson will help your child develop their skills with one of Bolton Valley's professional instructors. This also frees up a couple of hours for parents to enjoy some time together on the mountain while their child is in the group lesson. Lessons may be purchased daily at the Guest Service Desk at Bolton Valley. Group Lessons meet on snow at 9:45am and 12:45pm.
