+ About this map
Bolton Valley went from standing timber to operating ski resort in under eight months. In May 1966, 29-year-old Ralph DesLauriers began cutting a 4.5-mile access road into 8,250 acres his father, a regional manager for A&P grocery stores, had bought from a lumber company; by mid-December three chairlifts, nine trails, a base lodge, and 24 hotel rooms were open for business. DesLauriers lost the resort to the bank in 1997 and bought it back, with his children, in 2017. It sits high in the Green Mountains north of Burlington, with reliable snow, night skiing, and extensive backcountry access.
