Mad River Glen

Located on General Stark Mountain, Mad River Glen is famous for its expert terrain and the nation's last surviving single chairlift. Mad River usually opens on or about December 15 and closes around April 15. The actual opening date depends on snowfall, and can happen as early as Thanksgiving week.
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.

The main lodge at Mad River Glen is called The Basebox. It is a classic, rustic ski lodge offering two dining options. The cafeteria offers a wide range of homemade food. General Stark's Pub is a New England skiing tradition - a place to unwind after a hard day on the slopes. A relaxed place where you can get a bit of Mad River conviviality along with a selection of hardy food. The Thompson Family since 1949, one of Mad River's legends, has operated the Basebox restaurants
