Welcome to the Middlebury

Snow Bowl

Wow – winter is here!  We know you are excited to get on snow – especially with this early accumulation – and we are really exited to have you here. 

So, good news:

After a long delayed wait,  the Snowmaking pumps are being delivered this week from the rebuilding facility.  With favorable conditions, we anticipate having snowmaking up and running by the weekend.  The long term forecast is a bit off for opening Thanksgiving weekend but we are still hopeful.

AND, Since Rikert opened this past Saturday;

Until the Snow Bowl is up and running, Your Season Pass will be good at Rikert to enjoy the skiing there.  For those that have purchased passes already, your name will be on a list at the Rikert desk.  You can check in there and get a ticket to ski for the day.  There is always a fire in the stove, hot drinks, Soup, and REALLY good Chocolate chip cookies!

SO – Enjoy the skiing, snowshoeing, and fatbiking at Rikert while we get the Bowl ready for you and we will see you soon!

 Customer Testimonials

Park as close as you can to the lift – bribe someone if you have to……We’re really lucky living here in Vermont.  There are at least a half-dozen resorts within an easy drive from our house, and all of them would be perfect for getting our kids up and running on skis.  However, in the spirit of everything being more difficult when kids are involved, we chose the path of least resistance, which for us meant the Middlebury Snow  Bowl.  At the Snow Bowl, if you’re lucky, you can literally park steps away from the    magic carpet and beginners hill.  No schlepping of gear needed.  The importance of this cannot be overstated.  Ski Vermont Magazine
