New lift is nice, quick to top so can certainly can get a lot more runs in than previous years. Would like to see two feet of snow over the mountain, I feel like tree runs have improved and there are more of them now. Always the pitfall of coming here, which is why everyone who knows the history here knows that it's icy! Breakfast burrito was delicious for a quick grab and go in the lodge. I can see myself coming back to utilize my other two days owed to me. Hopefully more snow

It has an extensive and diverse trail network with a good mix of flats and steeper sections of varying length and pitch. Most trails have set tracks and a groomed area for free-form and skate skiing, and the staff does a nice job keeping the trails in shape. Its history as a downhill facility is evident in the old-time charm of its lodge, a post-and-beam building with basic, comfortable amenities including a hot wood stove and a kitchen staffed by friendly folks. There is a comfortable, relaxed ambience, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

The chair lifts are starting to show their age and there are some areas of the trail that dont have a lot of options for beginners or early intermediate making it more of an intermediate to advanced trail unless you are comfortable with just going on 1-2 trails for the day as a beginner. They roll out a lot of rental equipment and some how keep it in really decent space they have an army of people doing lessons and for the most part they seem to find dencent respectful stsff to manage the facility. On the weekend it can be a long walk to the facility they can really fill up the parking lot so take advantage of the drop off area and then park.

During the day, families can enjoy a good active day among the variety of trails and glades. The mountain features 1,016 vertical feet with a high-speed quad, a fixed grip quad, a triple chair, a double chair, and a magic carpet. Crotched has 100 acres of ski terrain, and 25 runs, the longest of which is 1.2 miles. For a small area, it is quite versatile in its terrain, having a well-maintained terrain park among other features. All terrain is covered by an advanced snowmaking system. All the facilities are contained in one building, so keeping track of kids isn't hard to do. The resort is also regionally popular as one of the best night skiing locations in the state. Most runs and lifts have a space or astrological theme. Comet Drop, Supernova, Lift Off, Meteor, Galaxy, The Rocket, Comet, and Shooting Star are but a few of the names at the mountain. The main lodge is the basic building at Crotched. It is a huge building resembling an aircraft hangar and about the size of one. Within it, every conceivable customer service and resort management activity takes place. For beginners, two areas with lifts on each side of the mountain provide a smoother beginning. On the West side, the West Lift, a fixed double, takes the boarder/skier up to several, very scenic, green runs such as Supernova and ReEntry, as well as a beautifully maintained glade, Final Frontier. On the East side of the resort, the Valley lift, a fixed quad, leads to the terrain park, and several blue and green runs. Although small, Crotched Mountain is very well-designed and offers family amenities and comforts that would be found in larger places. Its grooming and snowmaking systems vastly outrank those of many other New England resorts, even several Vail Resorts. For a leisurely-paced place, it merits a visit.

Tues-Sat night skiing is $50...(with free rentals for those who need it). We will be going back for the night skiing. There is the Penny chairlift that does not go far up the mtn at all--it takes you a little bit up to try out some green trails. Those slopes are not very wide which is helpful for beginners in my opinion BUT my friends enjoyed it.

Great for all levels, there's a magic carpet and one lift on the right side for beginners, and a terrain park for snowboarders on the left. There's a free bag check or pay lockers to store stuff. They have a decent store if you forgot to bring stuff. Ski rental is across boot The restaurant inside "Barrel & Bar" was REALLY GOOD, the smash burger with the barrel sauce was amazing and the brussel sprouts with bacon was also perfect. I wish I had their recipe for the barrel sauce because I could drink that stuff. Look on their website for hotel partners, we were able to get 25% off lift ticket coupons from our hotel on that list.

Prices are not too bad (if compared to Killington) and the slopes are well maintained. The people there helped to put on and take off my ski boots (which is always a hassle after being exhausted from the day). I wish I lived closer because this place was perfect. They have a food court with quick options, a bar with a more elaborate menu, and an indoor and outdoor fire pit. Their bar/restaurant Perley's is where we had lunch. My only complaint was the prices for this place. $25 for a cheese burger and fries is criminal. I would stick with the foodcourt instead of bar food.

The resort is owned by the venerable Woodstock Inn, a gem of national distinction. And the upscale air is evident in the friendliness and poise of the staff at Saskadena. A huge lodge with historical pictures everywhere, including memorializing the first motorized life transportation in the US, a 900 foot rope tow built in 1934. Formerly named Suicide Six, the resort centers around a modern yet charming lodge with a huge hearth, a bustling cafeteria, and a well stocked bar. The resort is a scant eight minute ride from the beautiful town of Woodstock, where the Rockefeller and Billings legacy is still visible. Parking at Saskadena Six is not an issue, the parking areas are close to the lodge and a ramp takes the visitor to the lodge area. Saskadena Six has been a part of the Indy Pass for a few years now, and it has become a family favorite. Entering the lodge, one can perform ticket purchases inside or outside. Donning boots and equipment is done in benches and chairs in the lodge, with inside cubicles around the walls. The lodge has plate glass windows on its entire slope facing side, providing beautiful views of the ski area. Once ready to hit the slopes, the nearest lift is the fixed quad that takes the visitor to the 1,200 foot summit. The resort has a 650-foot vertical drop, featuring 24 runs on 100 acres.. Besides the quad, Saskadena sports a double lift on the far side of the resort, and a J-bar. The challenging Show Off run is a steep, mogul filled track, while The Face and Crystal are parallel black diamonds. Several other runs feature both natural, groomed and mogul filled. Saskadena Six usually gets 110 inches of yearly snow, augmented by a vigorous snowmaking system. Dining at Saskadena Six is quick and efficient. A roped off area separates the alcohol-served areas from the rest of the lodge. Several local brews are on tap, as well as national selections. Skiing Saskadena is a pleasure. Small but quite pleasant, devoid of the stress of the larger ski areas in New England. Its history and charm are welcome assets in an industry where sterility seems to be popular. Terrain is rated 30% beginner, 40% intermediate and 30% advanced.

Their website boasted of offering accommodations for small groups of 15. When I called, I was told that our group was too small for a group rate and even if I had extra attendees because the weekend we chose was a holiday weekend, a group rate would not be available. I then called a popular ski resort in the Catskills, who were less helpful than the resort in Massachusetts. I finally called Willard. The lady I spoke with walked me through the entire registration process for my party. When we arrived, we found very helpful and friendly staff. One staff member even helped me convince my daughter's very reluctant dad to try snowboarding. The staff distributing the rental equipment were equally pleasant and helpful. The snowboarding instructors went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. They quickly individualized lessons according to how quickly our snowboarders grasped concepts. My group left the mountain, with the hope of returning! Thank you staff of Willard for an amazing time and making my daughter's 16th birthday memorable.

I mostly stuck to twister until they closed it off for racing though i tried the whole rest of the mountain. I like that they have night skiing because i got a late start to my day and didnt get there till around noon. On a random Tuesday the two lodges were constantly full of kids who race but I always found myself a seat when I needed to come in to warm up. Even with all the racer kids I still never had to wait in the lift lines. I also forgot my snowpants but thankfully they allow borrowing from the lost and found items that are past their pickup date. That was a life saver to be able to grab some in the morning and bring them back at the end of the day.

Hikers find a refuge at almost 3,000 feet while skiers and riders enjoy a warmup, food, beer, a rest, and awesome views. Towards the end of ski season, the expansive deck comes to life and the Lodge becomes a huge barbecue place. The large lodge is three stories tall. The basement has a huge footprint but it's not open to the public. Instead, it's used for storage and employee purposes. The main level has a cafeteria, a bar, a large seating area, and a huge hearth with a live fireplace. The third floor is a giant seating room and commands amazing views of the Green Mountains. The entire group of ski areas from Stowe to Killington, Magic, Stratton, Bromley, Mount Snow and Haystack are visible from the top. A giant clock-shaped dial with a rotating arrow guides the curious to all the mountains in view. Although a cafeteria style place, service at the Summit is superb. Friendly, efficient. The Summit also serves as an optimum wedding place as the outside area hosts numerous weddings in the warm months.
