Mt. Snow is a great mountain which offers many things to do throughout the year. Along with new owners attempting to take this mountain to the next level it never loses track as a real Vermont down-to-earth feeling about it... and extends throughout the Deerfield Valley. You won't see fast food chains here nor big box stores, only local retail establishments all in their unique way to show you their wares and make you feel comfortable. You do develop friends in time here. Getting away from the metropolitan area surrounding NYC and head up for a weekend takes us from 3-3:30 hours (180 miles) goes by quite quickly. Sometimes I'll stop along the way to hit a farm stand, North Hampton/Deerfield, MA, and Brattleboro, VT. There are different routes to take on getting up here. It certainly keeps one's interest upbeat. The location is ideal. You can reach the Berkshire's to the south, Stratton & Killington to the north, the Lake George region and Saratoga Springs to the west, and the Connecticut River and Keane, New Hampshire to the east all within 90 minutes..
Walking distance is 7 minutes into town. You have the free Moover's shuttle bus to the mountain or to Wilmington as well.
