New England Ski Areas with True Ski-on/ski-off Access

joshua_segal

I notice that many large areas have condos, but not true ski-on/ski-off.  My observation for instance at Killington is that they have lots of condos, but almost none are ski-on/ski-off - or its clunky or very seasonal such Sunrise and all the housing below the Skyeship Midstation.

Waterville Valley has a lovely village, but it’s several miles from the ski area lifts.

How about a list of ski areas that have true ski-on/ski-off access to the main mountain?

Start of a list:

NH:

- Crotched

- Loon

- Attitash

- Jay Peak

- Stowe

- Ascutney

- Mt. Snow

- Jiminy Peak

I know Smuggler’s has condos, but I recall walking to and from the lifts.  

What can you add?

Smugglers does have ski/ski off condos at Morse Mountain. GIven Morse is not the “main mountain” as it is more novice compared to Sterling or Madonna mountains.

I believe I stayed at those and they were in the base area, but still a walk to Morse.  Are there others where you start by skiing downhill?

Sugarloaf has some true ski-on/ski-off condos.

Pico has a number. Especially on Home Run.

xwhaler

Smuggs has some higher up on Morse that are true ski in/ski out where you can ski down to load the lift.

Others I can think of that would fit this category

Black NH

Cranmore

Ragged (Cardigan cabins are rental units for now but could convert to selling units if/when they build more)

Saddleback

Burke

Magic

xlr8r

Okemo

Stratton

Bromley

Burke

Bretton Woods

Sunday River

Yes, there are a few on the side of the Village lift and the other side of the Mogul Mouse. I can verify this as I have stayed on both sides at the Mountain Laurels and the Falcons condos at Morse Mountain. If anyone remembers seeing the heated pool just below mid station of the Village lift, that is a condo. You can ski from the pool side to the bottom of the village chair and then get home later in the day from skiing back from the top of the Village chair.

I would add Smuggs’ if you consider Morse a ‘main’ mountain. 

Pico fits the category, I would think. Yes, you do have to walk past the Lodge, but it is still closer than the parking lot.

Burke has single family and townhomes scattered amongst the lower slopes.

Ascutney?  Really?  Then you’ll have to include Big Vanilla at Davos  ;)

Notes on summary:

Ragged: Planned, but not yet

Magic: I know there is a substantial condo development at the base of Magic, but are they really ski-on/ski-off?

Mittersill: The Mittersill Inn was at the base and not ski-on.  Is there other potential ski-on/ski-off property there?

Aside to rickbolger who said, “Ascutney?  Really?  Then you’ll have to include Big Vanilla at Davos.”

Note the thread title is “New England …”.  Ascutney was real ski-on/ski-off last time I was there.  I don’t know if it still is (or if the condos are even open.)

NewEnglandSkier13

Yes, a number of the condos at Magic are ski-in/ski-out.

The state of NY has a lot. The other New England. >:)

Should we consider narrowing this down to ski areas with ski on/off lodging (or even a hotel) that is available to the public? vs. privately owned condos that may or not be available? An example is Bromley, which has condo’s that may or may not be available for rental, and may or not be ski on/off, vs. the Sun Mountain Lodge which is a hotel that is clearly ski on/off.

Does Sugarbush - Claybrook qualify or no because you can’t ski down from it?

Good idea.  I don’t know those details.  If you or one of the other SJers would like to give a shot at that, I’ll redo the summary accordingly.

As to Claybrook: I rejected the Grand at Killington and the Mittersill Inn, so I guess Claybrook gets rejected too!

If you’re going with lodging properties then Ragged would work.

Where are these?  I know they are planned, but last time I was there (2 years ago), I sure didn’t see any.

They can be seen in the center of this photo off the Barnyard Triple.
