Riders Guide - Generally the first ski area open in New England, Woodbury is not only home to state-of the-art snowmaking; it’s also extremely accessible for residents of Connecticut and the entire tri-state area. In total there are 12 trails, 100 acres, 300’ of vertical and 100% snowmaking coverage.
Parks and Pipes - Woodbury was one of the first resorts in Connecticut to allow snowboarders and it has continued its appreciation for the sport by constantly working to improve their fantastic terrain park. In fact, the resort has expanded the size of the area and developed more space to put more series’ of jumps, rails, boxes and spines. The park houses features both large and small and is even lit up at night to provide more opportunities to perfect freestyle skills.
Out of Bounds - As an added bonus for those guests who love all things board. There is a great skate park at Woodbury which is open, weather permitting, all winter long. There is also an indoor park when the weather isn’t ideal. The two parks have an array of great features and offer a nice escape from the snow. There is also a great kidney pool exclusively for bikers and skaters. For an idea of how massive the skate park is there are 2 boxes, 1 large pyramid, 4 slide rails, 1 drop-in halfpipe, 3 pall-out ramps , several quarter pipes and much more.
Hangout & Hookup - The area has its fair share of après ski spots and there are several bars and restaurants in the area. Locals flock to Musky’s East Side Pub in Waterbury, this no-frills hometown bar is the perfect spot to relax after a full day on the slopes or in the park. Fortunately, the ski area is close to bigger cities with a more bustling nightlife. New York is less than two hours from the resort, and as the, “City that Never Sleeps,” guests will find no shortage of amazing things to do once the sun sets.
The Deal - Less than 2 hours from New York, less than an hour from New Haven and Hartford and just a short 30 minute drive from Danbury. The gorgeous Litchfield Hills of Connecticut make a great place to ski and play each winter and Woodbury Ski Area is no exception. Woodbury’s reasonable prices and additional deals and discounts throughout the season makes it an ideal place for groups of friends and families to visit for the day or the weekend while having a great time on the slopes, in the park and racing down one of New England’s largest tubing parks. The entire area is lit at night so the fun can extend well past sundown.
