About Mad River Glen

Mad River Glen’s official quick facts distinguish 115 acres of marked trails from a much broader tree-skiing description. The acreage above uses the trail footprint; broader woods figures are not added to it or treated as permission to enter terrain. Check the dated report, map and full equipment policy before choosing routes.

Read Mad River Glen’s full equipment policy and adaptive provisions and getting-here directions before arranging your visit.

Use the official Mad River Glen winter and summer map resources when planning your visit. Confirm the applicable edition and read the dated operating report; a map does not establish an open route.

Read the official conditions report alongside the winter trail map before planning terrain and lift use. Confirm the date of each operating update and check the resort’s directions for your journey.

Mad River Glen’s published equipment policy prohibits snowboards and splitboards. It also provides for specified adaptive equipment for skiers with disabilities. Read the full equipment policy for restrictions and adaptive provisions before arranging equipment or lessons.

Use the separate summer hiking resource when planning a warm-season visit. A mapped route or an older acreage figure does not establish present access, lift service or trail conditions.
