Location
Mad River Glen is located in central Vermont’s picturesque, Mad River Valley and is only a 3-mile drive from the Sugarbush Resort. It lies just 45 miles southeast of Burlington, Vermont via Interstate 89. It is 3 hours from Boston and Hartford, 2 hours from Montreal and 6 hours from New York City.
The Mountain
Mad River’s unique and extensive trail system descends down General Stark Mountain following the natural contours of the mountain. The original developers of Mad River Glen worked with nature to create a ski area that is now recognized for the best ski terrain in New England. The mountain’s huge natural snowfall, northern exposure, and bowl shape work together to create a ski area that holds snow like no other.
