Mad River Sweeps Ski Area Polls

Each season the various ski publications rank ski areas according to an ever-changing set of criteria. And each year Mad River Glen, Vermont's diamond in the rough, seems to consistently outrank many of its bigger name competitors. In 1997 the trend continues. "I suppose that each year the areas get shuffled around because of new improvements." Notes Marketing Director, Eric Friedman. "We rarely, if ever, have anything new to talk about, but our terrain never changes. It’s gratifying to know that in this day and age people still appreciate that quality terrain is still the most important thing a ski area can offer." Readers of Snow Country Magazine and Ski Magazine agreed, both ranking Mad River Glen as the #1 ski area in the East for terrain. Snow Country readers also showed their appreciation of Mad River Glen in other categories of the publications annual Top 50 Resorts survey. Mad River Glen was also rated:

  • Best Resort in North America for Bump Skiing
  • Best Resort in the East for Terrain
  • Best Resort in the East for Steeps
  • Best Resort in the East for Off-Piste Skiing
