Enjoy the views while exploring these SOVT scenic trails [from http://www.happyvermont.com].
Okemo
Trail: Dream Weaver, in the South Face area
Level: Beginner
View: The view from the top of the Dream Weaver looks southward, offering views of ski trails at three neighboring ski resorts in the distance: Magic, Stratton, and Mount Snow.
What makes it special: Dream Weaver is 5,500 feet long with an average width of 150 feet. A slightly steep section near the top gives any beginner skier or rider a sense of accomplishment. More advanced skiers and riders also love this classic cruiser. The fire tower near the start of this trail is a bonus if you’re looking for more spectacular views.
Stratton Mountain Resort
Trail: Easy Street
Level: Beginner
View: Views stretch from nearby Mount Equinox and Bromley Mountain to the Adirondacks and Green Mountains.
What makes it special: Find Easy Street from Mike’s Way, then connect to Meadows and Lower Wanderer. The payoff: You get to ski or ride through a scenic covered bridge on the way down.
Bromley
Trail: Runaround
Level: Beginner
View: From the summit of Bromley is your chance to soak up views to the west of Mount Equinox and the mighty Dorset Mountain.
What makes it special: At 2 ½ miles, Runaround is Bromley’s longest trail. Winding along the western edge of the mountain, Runaround is a beautiful and fun run for all levels.
Mount Snow
Trail: Freefall, on Mount Snow’s North Face area
Level: Expert
View: The impressive natural beauty of Somerset Reservoir.
What makes it special: Freefall offers a full view of Somerset Reservoir and the surrounding Green Mountain National Forest. If black diamond trails aren’t your jam, soak up views from the balcony at the summit’s Bullwheel tavern.
Enjoying a day on the slopes doesn’t always have to be at a big ski area. It’s worth trying some of the smaller, lesser known local hills with old-school rope tows and T-bars, such as Northeast Slopes in Corinth, Hard’Ack Recreation Center in St. Albans, Living Memorial Park Snow Sports Ski Area in Brattleboro, Cochran’s Ski Area in Richmond, and Lyndon Outing Club in Lyndonville.
