About the Ski Resort
Ascutney Mountain Resort is Vermont's fastest growing family ski destination.
This mountain brings the word "family" back into winter vacations. All of their ski trails converge at the base area, making in virtually impossible to get lost.
This is a big mountain with dozens of trails covered by 95 percent snowmaking. From the gentle slope of Little Eagle to the awesome pitch of Freefall to the fast-paced cruiser of Snowdance, there is something for everyone. Nightly grooming means optimal conditions every day of the week.
Ascutny Mountain is a short drive from just about anywhere. It is only six miles off I-91 and just over two hours from Boston and Hartford, four from New York City. And even easier, hop aboard Amtrak's Vermonter and they will provide transportation from the brand new Windsor/Mt. Ascutney station just five miles from the resort.
