ABOUT BROMLEY MOUNTAIN, VERMONT
Bromley Mountain has 45 classic New England trails and glades with a variety of terrain that is seldom seen elsewhere. It is perfect for skiers & riders of all ability levels from first timers to those who crave the gravity-adrenaline rush. Because Bromley is a south-facing mountain (the only one in New England), don't forget your sunblock and shades to be prepared for some of the sunniest, most comfortable skiing and riding you'll find anywhere in the East.
Thanks to the swiftness of Bromley's high-speed quad (6 minutes from base to summit) skiers and snowboarders are getting up and down the mountain faster than ever before. So much so, in fact, that they're liable to find themselves with some extra, non-slope time on their hands. Fortunately for them, Bromley is literally surrounded by a host of alternative activities, including ice skating, sleigh riding, snowmobiling, shopping, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing!
If carving figure eights is your thing, then you'll want to check out the great ice at the Riley Rink at Hunter Park, in Manchester. A new, state-of-the-art facility, Riley Rink at Hunter Park is the home ice for several community hockey and skating leagues, and offers public skating hours at various times throughout the week.
