In a time where lift tickets can cut well into the $200 range for a measly day pass, little resorts like Bolton Valley are holding it down for the people. As highlighted in a recent New York Times article, Vermont has become a hub for those yearning for the authentic, laid-back skiing of yesteryear, and Bolton Valley is the perfect example.
The resort also earned a special place in our hearts when we featured it in Teton Gravity Research’s 2021 film, In Pursuit of Soul. The film spotlights Bolton's distinctive character and its strong community, revealing the resort’s deep connection to grassroots skiing and snowboarding heritage. Whether you’re seeking that off-piste powder or groomed trails, Bolton offers the perfect mix of terrain to suit all abilities, all at an affordable price and genuine warmth.

Bolton Valley sounds like a gem for skiers looking for that classic, community-driven experience! It’s refreshing to see resorts that prioritize accessibility and authenticity over luxury pricing. The connection to In Pursuit of Soul makes it even more appealing—those smaller, soulful resorts have a magic that big corporate mountains just can’t replicate. interior design orlando
