  • Mad River Glen is a ski area in Fayston, Vermont, United States. Its terrain has been ranked by Ski Magazine as the most challenging on the east coast of the United States. Located within the Green Mountain range, it sits in the Mad River Valley close to the larger Sugarbush Resort. Though not considered a large ski area, it has a vertical drop of 2 feet. It averages over 250 inches of snow a year and maintains a traditional form of New England skiing that emphasizes snow preservation on narrow trails instead of man-made snow on wide boulevards. Mad River Glen also does very little grooming and prefers to leave its trails with whatever naturally forms. It has one of only two single chairlifts left in the country and does not allow snowboarders. It is one of a very limited number of ski cooperatives, drawing a uniquely devout following. Individuals purchase publicly available shares and attend regular "Town Hall" meetings, voting on issues regarding the area, management, etc. Red and white "Mad River Glen: Ski it if you can" bumper stickers are routinely seen throughout the United States, especially at other ski areas. Additionally, they can be found on ski lifts in Europe and one was even taken into space on a Space Shuttle flight.
