The Bowl is open daily Wednesday – Sunday from 8:30am – 4pm with night skiing Wednesday – Friday evenings from 4pm – 9pm.

We are not allowing uphill skiing at this time until more snow and terrain are available.

Happy New Year skiers and riders! On this day of reflection, resolution, and hope for the year to come, here’s a little Ode to Snowmakers from one of our very own that keep us on the snow no matter the conditions:

Today, scattered snow showers before noon. Mostly cloudy to start, then sunny with a high near 19. Northwest wind 8 to 10 mph. We’re skiing 6 lift serviced trails, with a broad range of difficulty for all skiing/riding abilities, including our Discovery Zone learning area. Unfortunately, we are not allowing uphill skinning at this time due to the loss of natural snow on our routes but you are welcome to hike.

Good morning skiers and riders! Wow, seeing the new snow yesterday as we head into the final celebration of the year truly gives us high hopes for the year to come! Quite the day we had on the mountain yesterday as the temps dropped and we carved across some pretty stellar conditions with those sparkly little dendrites we mentioned yesterday. The snow machines are cranking and the smiles are wide seeing the snow blowing from top to bottom on the Allen. We’re wishing everyone a safe and happy new year’s eve as we all head into the new year!

Today, we’ll see mostly sunny skies with a high near 23 and a west wind 10 to 16 mph. We’re still skiing 5 lift serviced trails, with a broad range of difficulty for all skiing/riding abilities, including our Discovery Zone learning area. Unfortunately, we are not allowing uphill skinning at this time due to the loss of natural snow on our routes but you are welcome to hike.

Good morning skiers and riders! As we head into the new year, images of fancy parties, sparkling fireworks, and a big sparkly ball dropping down for the new year drench our minds with what’s to come. Well, a little sparkle goes a long way in Vermont, and here at the Bowl we’ve spent a lot of time sparkling things up over the past summer! Our new Sheehan Quad glistens on the snow whisking skiers and riders up the mountain, particularly under the new night lights we have put in to shine on our slopes every Wednesday – Friday night this season. We’ve introduced our new “Burrows” to upgrade your experience during your visit complete with solo stoves, dedicated space, and unique food and drink options delivered right to your private escape for the day; this “Authentic Vermont” experience creates an intimate unique day on the slopes. Rental information can be found here https://www.middleburysnowbowl.com/the-burrows/

What we’re all really looking for are those sparkly little dendrites born in the sky twinkling all the way down to our slopes, otherwise known as snowflakes. Today, we’ll see that marvel in action with some overnight snow that will continue through the morning until around 1pm. Temperature will be around 31, blustery northwest winds 11 to 20 mph, and about an inch and a half of accumulation could sparkle up our slopes today to bring in the new year. We’re still skiing on 5 lift serviced trails, including our Discovery Zone learning area.

Unfortunately, we are not allowing uphill skinning at this time due to the loss of natural snow on our routes but you are welcome to hike.

Good morning skiers and riders! Après-ski is a French term literally meaning “after ski” and has been a part of ski culture since practically the beginning of time. While this phrase can be associated with a chic slopeside terrace and a glass of champagne, it’s not really our style here at the Bowl; we après Authentic Vermont-style kicking up a crackling fire, some local drinks and snacks, and authentic Vermont musicians! We’ll be getting the party started at 4pm with local musician Jimmy Goodwin who will deliver a soul-stirring musical experience, blending a rich variety of genres that include blues, reggae, rock, funk, bluegrass, and a sprinkle of country.

Temps will be a little cooler with a high near 39 with a west wind 6 to 13 mph, and you guessed it, a little more sprinkling of rain but today there will be some snow mixed in! The skiing’s been great though, so don’t let a few sprinkles fool you, we’re still ripping it all day and through the evening on 6 lift services trails including our completely free Disco Carpet! Now don’t confuse our Disco Carpet in our Discovery Zone learning area with après, this disco dance is strictly limited to the early stages of learning to ski from our PSIA certified instructors, or on your own, but chances are if you sign up with our professional snow sports team, you’ll feel much more confident on your skis sliding in to join us in the lodge for a little après! (full disclosure: the carpet is completely free but there is a slight fee for learning with a pro).

Unfortunately, we are not allowing uphill skinning at this time due to the loss of natural snow on our routes but you are welcome to hike.

Good morning skiers and riders! Philosophically speaking, eternal optimists believe that good ultimately prevails over evil, and while we don’t really believe in evil necessarily here at the Bowl, we do believe that this misting rain will convert to the fluffy white stuff we all asked Santa for… and that’s all of us ski folks from the West to the East snuggling up to the bearded chimney raider asking for a gift of snow! We are super happy here at the Bowl to have a team of mountain ops folks keeping us skiing no matter what Mother Nature has dished out so far with 6 lift serviced trails on some pretty darn nice conditions. Yesterday the mist was light, the skiing was super, and we’re expecting more of the same today!

Today will be cloudy with a high near 43 and windy with a southeast wind 8 to 18 mph increasing to 22 to 32 mph.  Chance of precipitation is 70%, but wait, I think we see some white stuff in our forecast starting tomorrow evening. There’s a superstition in our business that we really don’t talk about incoming snow, but being the eternal optimists we are, we just couldn’t help but mention it’s still in our forecast.  Unfortunately, we are not allowing uphill skinning at this time due to the loss of natural snow on our routes but you are welcome to hike.

Good morning skiers and riders! This season marks a whole new program to get you to the Bowl and Rikert – we are happy to announce a collaboration with our friends at Tri Valley Transit to ease getting to our ski areas and get you the best parking in the house – a drop off right at the front door from TVT. While you’re at it, get a punchcard to earn rewards throughout the season as you fill them up and be entered into our end-of-season raffle for a free season pass next year to either the Bowl or Rikert! Find more details here: https://www.middleburysnowbowl.com/ride-to-win/ Our lifts will be turning from 8:30am – 8:45pm today.

Vermonters are a pretty tough crowd, so a little rain in the forecast doesn’t do much to deter us from getting our turns in! Warm weather today will have the temps hovering around 46, a southwest wind 13 to 21 mph, and a 100% chance of rain. The good news is that predictions are for only a tenth to maybe a quarter inch of precipitation, so the skiing should actually be pretty good with nice soft conditions. 6 lift serviced trails will be available including the completely free Disco Carpet in the Discovery Zone learning area. Unfortunately, we continue to not advise uphill skinning at this time due to the loss of natural snow on our routes.

Please note: We will be open today and the remainder of the week for our regular operating hours; open 01/01 and closed 01/02 as we head back in to our regular operating schedule. Holiday prices are in effect through 01/01.

Good morning skiers and riders; a special thanks to all of you who came in Christmas Eve and gave us some tidbits from our ski report for a free future night skiing ticket – thanks for staying in tune! About that overindulgence thing… yeah, I said it, holiday overindulgence is a thing and we know it well here at the Bowl… overindulging in our passion for skiing is how we roll, working hard to create and maintain the best surfaces around (in our humble opinion), and that my friends is the perfect reason for you to come spend the rest of your holiday week with us! So, break out all of that gear you just unwrapped, get some fresh air, get the kids off those new screens, and work off some of that holiday cheer on the slopes at the Bowl to get ready for the new year! Our lifts will be turning from 9am – 4pm today.

Partly sunny skies, southwest wind 15 to 17 mph, a high near 38, and machine groomed surfaces will ensure the perfect turns on that new gear with 6 lift serviced trails including the completely free Disco Carpet in the Discovery Zone learning area. Unfortunately, uphill skinning is still not advised at this time due to the loss of natural snow on our routes.

Please note: We will be open today with regular operating hours the remainder of the week; open 01/01 and closed 01/02 as we head back in to our regular operating schedule. Holiday prices are in effect through 01/01.
