Suicide Six Ski Resort |
|
|
What a name! Suicide has nothing to do with skiing at this small, pretty area, but Woodstock VT does. It's close, it's easy, it's fun. |

As part of the Rockefeller-owned Woodstock Inn & Resort, Suicide Six has solid financial support, which is probably why it's been able to survive as a small, simple ski area in an age of mammoth resorts and wholesale condo-ization. The town of Woodstock VT is only 3 miles away, and so everybody in town skis here: li'l kids, big kids, college students, couples, families and grandparents. The vertical drop of 650 feet (198 meters) is not enormous, but the mountain's 23 trails served by three lifts hold a lot more fun that its modest height might seem to indicate. No long treks through enormous parking lots, no complicated trail maps with multiple mountains—get out of your car, walk a few minutes, step into your skis and go! To find the ski area, follow signs in the town, which will lead you on a 10-minute drive north on Elm Street (VT Route 12), bearing right onto Pomfret Road, then left onto Stage Road to Suicide Six (map).
