The ski hill is small but is a great hill just to get out and get some skiing done. The lodge is nice and cozy with a fire inside, restaurant and bar. Lockers and bathrooms downstairs. I believe they have 2 or 3 chairlifts. The attendants and employees are awesome! Most of my photos are from the squirrel run where they recently had the ATSX Ice Cross event. It’s awesome they put on extra events like that! Prices seem to be fairly family friendly for what you get. I’d go back in a heartbeat!
Staff were amazing and very accommodating. Music bngo was a hit, local hosts were super friendly and fun. Brews were tasty. We were staying close by as guests of HH so the walk home was just a short jaunt. Highly recommended, we'll be back to ski. Dog friendly make it even better.
We did a semi private ski lesson and it was a lot of fun! Al was a great ski instructor; we learned a lot! They also have a great terrain park.
We had an amazing day at Lost Valley! Easy parking, quick ticketing, plenty of bag storage in the basement, and great food plus LV beer at the restaurant. There are so many fun, short trails at the top that merge together, it felt like we found a new way down the mountain each run. One random thing that really stood out was the lodge. It is small but spacious. Tables are nicely spread out and you can actually move around without climbing over people or piles of bags all day. The day was perfect from start to finish, and everyone was so friendly. So many genuine smiles and welcoming vibes. We are so glad we made the drive from MA because the kids are already begging to go back. Such a gem for a family ski day!
Fantastic family ski area! Both our kids learned to ski here with some much needed assistance from the team of Lost Valley ski instructors. We come every year and have a great time! Conditions have been excellent in spite of the weather and the LV Brew Pub gets better and better! We're looking forward to seeing the Ice Cross World Championship here tonight!
Took my first-ever ski lesson at Lost Valley and had a great experience. Our originally scheduled instructor couldn’t make it, and Charlotte stepped in seamlessly to lead the session. About 15 minutes in, Al joined as well, and both instructors brought upbeat energy, patience, and professionalism despite things not going exactly to plan. As a complete beginner, I felt comfortable and well supported throughout. Lost Valley is lucky to have instructors like them.
Super cool, really great vibe to the whole place. Everyone was nice. I'm a new skier and their greens and blues were fun!
Super chill atmosphere and a great place to bring your kiddo for ski lessons. All the folks that work downstairs in the office and in the ski lending department are over the top AMAZING. One of the few sports I never took up was skiing so fitting my kiddo (who has flat feet & doesnt like tight) with skis the first couple years wasn't always easy but one of the kids/ young adults (gosh I feel old) always came over and saved the day. We're on his 3ed or 4th year of lessons & he is one confident skier.
