Bousquet Mountain Ski Area

Absolutely amazing ski resort - 3 years new and stunning lodge, good amount of snow (made, but high quality), fun slopes and very thoughtful staffs and not crowded at all. If you want to have good ski break with family, highly recommended!!

Bousquet is kind of the perfect local smaller ski mountain. Friendly, inexpensive, gorgeous views, with normally excellent ski conditions and very manageable lift lines (none during non-holiday weekdays). I have no clue how a few people say it is overpriced when lift tickets in the bigger N.E. resorts have almost all crossed the $200 mark on weekends. Different strokes I guess. We and our daughter live local and ski midweek. Our son comes up with our 3 grandkids during winter break every year. This year they brought neighbors and their kids. Every single person had a total blast, and my son and his neighbor have skied everything from the Northeast to the Rockies. They are all coming back next year. Bousquet is not big by any standard, but it gives you a great ski day. If you're a

Fun small mountain. Decent for learning to ski - There's a magic carpet (belt lift), & 1 well designed green circle trail. Great for kids who want to play in terrain parks. I was told they also have a kids racing program. Well groomed cruisers, space for carvers. Limited challenging terrain: short steps, few glades, no moguls. Just 2 non-detachable lifts, & one is old/slow

I was at the mountain snowboarding yesterday. Although the "mountain" is on the small side it is great boarding. What makes it even better is the staff. Of all the mountains I have been to the staff I encountered yesterday were the best!!! From the lift operator (I wish I remembered the name) to the snowboard guy Jack ( who was so kind). He even helped me with my stance, even though I didn't even realize I needed help. Lol It was much better riding after. And I have been riding for years...😳 I will return, but not as much for the mountain. Definitely for the professional and extremely helpful staff. Qudos to you Bousquet, you have a comadity that even the larger mountains I have been to do not... 😊🏂

Conditions were good. Hours are strange. Lifts don't open in morning Monday through Thursday. Lifts open at 9 am on Friday but food isn't available until noon. Lodge is small. Lifts were slow. Adding more to this review after the owner’s response. I lived in the Berkshires and skied at Bousquet frequently. Not sure the ownership has a realistic perspective on who makes up the community or has asked what they prefer for hours. If I still lived there, I’d skip a drive north to get an early day of skiing when conditions are best. The decision not to open seems more bottom line based.
