Maintained by nearby Middlebury College, the Middlebury College Snow Bowl (map) is open to the public, who mix easily with the college's Panthers ski team. No condos, no commercialization! Only mountain scenery and friendly people, and only a 15-minute drive up into the Green Mountains from scenic Middlebury VT. Despite its small scope, this is a satisfying, family-friendly ski area. Ski racing is a popular activity, and numerous champion skiers have honed their edges here since the first skiers came to these slopes in 1934 (when you had to hike to the top of the slope if you wanted to ski down). The summit of Worth Mountain is 2750 feet (838 meters), the vertical drop is 1050 feet (320 meters). The 15 trails and three glades are served by three lifts: a triple and two doubles. Snowmaking covers 40% of the trails and glades. Here are the nearest hotels, motels and inns:
