Bolton Valley Backcountry

With its expansive views of Lake Champlain, Bolton faces directly west across the widest part of the lake and lies right in the middle of the front range of the Green Mountains’ highest peaks.  Not only does that provide amazing sunsets over the lake, but it means significant snowfall after storms pick up moisture over Champlain and then empty it on the western flanks to climb over the highest peaks of the Greens.

Most of Bolton Valley’s premiere backcountry terrain lies on the leeward faces of its highest ridges, providing a northeast-facing snow-accumulating zone that sits 3000 feet above the Champlain Valley and keeps snow shaded, light, and fluffy throughout the winter season.

Guests can access over 12,000 acres of untouched wilderness on some of the highest faces in the Green Mountains – which means plenty of fresh turns for everyone.
