"This place is always great! I don't know what it is about Butternut, but I enjoy this place more than I enjoy Killington. The way the trails are laid out make the skiing fun, and it's more than half the price of any big mountain. This is my favorite mountain in the Northeast!"
"Great time on the hill today with my son. Good snow, nice people and good value. Live music at the upper lodge when we stopped for lunch. Not too crowded. I'll definitely return and I'd recommend to others."
"The best skiing I've ever done. The grooming is outstanding and the terrain parks are beautifully sculpted. I would fly across the country just to go skiing here."
"My husband and I feel compelled to write to let you know how INCREDIBLY HAPPY we are/were with our daughters' day of ski lessons with Isaiah and Nicki! Our twins, Stella and Elise (5), spent Saturday in full day class. They started the day excited, yet unsure of themselves on skis, after only having a 1.5 hr lesson last season.
By the end of the day, we were thrilled to see them navigating the learning area with happiness and confidence. They were able to "pizza," make wide turns, get on and off the magic carpet, and stop. They were so proud of themselves and didn't want to leave.
Isaiah and Nicki were polite, warm, patient, enthusiastic and kind. The girls loved them! And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the "amazing" mac n cheese for lunch, and the Oreo snack!
So, thank you for such a wonderful experience. We will be sure to spread the word, and will certainly be bringing them back this season!"
All the best,
Becky and David COur family loved skiing at Butternut this weekend. Coaches Judy (for our 5 year old Wanda -- got her to turn, ride the chairlift and go down the easy green!) and Pat (adaptive for our 3 year old Burt) were really great and got our kids to ski much more independently. Our 3 year old had been skiing between our legs but Pat got him on shorter skis and skiing down the carpet independently and down the small chair lift holding onto a pole-- he was beaming the whole time!!
Love the chair lift for the beginners-- we haven't seen any mountain that has that (just carpets). That chairlift motivated both of our kids a ton bc it was the chairlift (!) yet they could go down a longer (but not too intimidating run).
Lift operator Will was also great to give me the helpful pointer of linking arms w/our kids to get them off the lift in a more gentle way. Usually, our kids last 30 min - 1 hr on the slopes but on the 2nd day, we were going 3 hours+ and they still wanted more!
We've been to Loon, Sunapee, Blue Hills-- so far, Butternut is our favorite! Thanks!
To the Staff at Butternut Ski Area,
I have just spent the past two weeks in the Berkshires and skied Butternut six times. You have done an amazing job making snow and grooming all the trails.
I would like to let you know that Tony on Ski Patrol helped me retrieve my dropped ski pole. Tony took the time to ride the chair lift with me looking for the pole where I thought I dropped it. When we found the pole, Tony skied down to pick up the pole for me. Tony should be commended for the wonderful manner in which he took care of my problem and I was back skiing in no time at all.
I also encountered a flat tire in the parking lot after a beautiful day of skiing. I went into the cafeteria area and asked if anyone could help me. Immediately, Charlie, your chef, came out of the kitchen and out to my car to observe the condition of the tire. Charlie went above and beyond in helping me to figure out what I could do to have the tire fixed. Charlie saved the day and he should also be commended.
I have found every time I am at Butternut I have a wonderful day of skiing. Thank you so much for providing a mountain that is not only easily accessible, has plenty of groomed trails but also has a friendly atmosphere and the staff is always pleasant and ready to help whenever they can. I have been skiing for over 45 years and Butternut is by far the best place to ski!
Hello,
I like to recognize outstanding service when I receive it & you have built a terrific staff. We've been to Butternut 2x this month & Will on the bunny hill lift is exceptional. I have a 4 year old & 6 year old learning to ski but unfamiliar with getting on/off chairlifts. Will started "teaching" them how to look over their shoulder & grab the chair all while cheering them on. He's doing a great job so please pass along my thanks.
Made the 2 hr trip from CT and it was totally worth it. Parking was easy, it was spread out so it didnt feel cramped. Kids did the ski school, groups were small, they got a lot of individual coaching and progressed so well and had so much fun, both were asking to go back. We used a great private instructor and tried to keep from falling down next little kids. Such a nice experience. Strongly recommend.
Our family recently visited Butternut to tube, ski and snowboard and want to extend a heartfelt thank you to your staff! From the courteous staff when I called, to the ticket sales and fitting counters and especially to the instructors Pat White and Kevin, Max and Sophie, Mike and Dominic. Our experience was top-notch and our family cannot wait to visit again! And for a family of 6 plus plus my mom to help, thank you for making this an affordable option. And please keep the adaptive program going - Kevin was great and patient with our daughter. Our two middles enjoyed trying snowboarding while our youngest tried skiing for the first time! What a fabulous family vacation!
Fabulous Mountain Within Easy Reach of NYC
Great for young kids and beginners, 5 chair lifts and multiple runs make a great 4-day ski vacay for the intermediate skier. Easy nursery runs and an amazing ski school mean beginners can learn at their own pace. Really amazing staff. A new ski fave.
