The 10 Best Resorts in the East for Overall Satisfaction
These are the Eastern resorts with that certain je ne se quoi that makes skiers want to come back for more.
Hidden Valley isn’t sprawling, glitzy, or flowing with terrain, but what it does have is something that many ski resorts are devoid of: Heart. Families love this place for its welcoming vibe, easygoing cruisers—50 percent of the terrain is rated intermediate—and two popular terrain parks.
Another Hidden Valley strength is its solid ski school program, making it a great place to introduce kids big and small to the slopes. Great snowmaking and grooming go a long way to keeping the trails in good shape, which is certainly not a guarantee during the inconsistent mid-Atlantic winters.
The bottom line is that Hidden Valley is a charming, albeit small, family hill that skiers love to love. And that’s saying something.
