What are the best ski resorts in New England?

Is a lift ticket necessary for everyone in ski resorts in New England?

  • Hi there, If I don't use any lifts in a ski resort( my friend is going to teach me), should I pay any other admission type fees? I live in Boston so probably I will go to Mount ...show more

  • Answer:

    My understanding of "lift tickets" nowdays is that they are "area use passes". It doesn't matter whether you ride the lifts or not. You are using the facility. Its also a way that the ski areas protect themselves from liability in the event of an accident or injury. Not buying a "lift ticket" and hiking up was a way many got around paying to use the area in the past. Then they'd want to sue if they got hurt and the ski areas said, NO WAY! You're not even supposed to be here. As Willie D wrote, it would end up being a trespassing issue. I'm pretty sure you even need a pass to go shoeshoeing at Killington and Okemo. Regardless of the Forest Service ownership, the ski area still holds a land lease and is responsible for what happens there. I highly recommend you take a lesson from an instructor. No matter how experienced a skier your friend is, its unlikely he or she has the background to teach you. You'll both end up frustrated. With an instructor, you'll progress faster, have a more pleasant experience and your friend is free to ski as he or she pleases. After your lesson he or she can meet you for a couple of runs together.

You need a lift ticket to use any of the chairlifts, t-bars, j-bars etc.... so unless you want to hike "up" all day I would say you need a ticket. HTH

Check where you are going to ski. I've been to places where they actually don't check lift tickets on dedicated beginner lifts or they are simply made available for free. It will be hard for your friend to teach you if you don't actually use a lift.
