You’ve got some choices when looking to ice skate in and around Mount Snow.
From the outdoor rink at Farm Road Estate that you can see from Route 100 to the indoor rink in Brattleboro to the Olympic-sized rink in Manchester, there’s something for everyone. When it’s cold enough, you can even skate old-school-style on an actual lake on Route 30 just outside of Brattleboro.
And if you’re looking for an adventure and are up for a drive, we suggest checking out the Lake Morey Skate Trail in Fairlee, VT for a unique experience. At 4.3 miles, it’s considered the longest skate trail in the United States and is an hour and 45 minutes drive north.
