Ski Areas in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom

What’s your pleasure: exploring the natural world as you glide along cross-country trails, or zipping down a mountain on skis or a snowboard? Luckily, you don’t have to choose when you come to Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom because there are plenty of places to enjoy alpine and Nordic skiing. See why the Jay Peak Resort is a favorite with skiers and snowboarders with the best trails in New England because of its steep terrain and superior snowfall and conditions. Check out the Craftsbury Outdoor Center or the Lyndon State Forest for Nordic skiing trails. Ski Burke Mountain or the Kingdom Trails. After skiing, visit one of the area’s many restaurants, pubs, inns or breweries, or shop along the streets of quaint downtowns.

Skiing & Snowboarding: Way up near the Vermont/Canada border (or “just a bit south” if you’re reading this in Quebec) is Jay Peak, a big, vast beauty of a ski area with fantastic slopes and trails, excellent glades (not only for advanced skiers), and lots of natural snowfall. Jay has an aerial tramway and seven more lifts to 76 trails. This ski area has the most beginning and intermediate skiing in tree-lined glades in the East. The Zone learning area features 80 acres of wide terrain and glades for newcomers.
Everything Else: Fantastic, big, and modern Pump House Indoor Water Park open year-round; also child care; spa; ice skating; sleigh rides
