Nearby Skiing and Ski Mountains

The Red Oak Inn is located next to the finest ski mountains in Southern Vermont.  The Red Oak Inn is just five minutes by car or free shuttle service to Mount Snow, Carinthia, and Haystack Mountains.  Stratton Mountain is within twenty-five minutes by car.  And we are within one-hour's drive of Bromley, Magic, Okemo, Maple Valley, and Snow Valley ski areas.

Mount Snow is one of Eastern USA's largest resorts and Vermont's closest big mountain to the New York City area ( 2.5 hours from Boston, 4 hours from New York City or 1.5 hours from Albany ). The resort took over operation of Carinthia ski area in '86 and Haystack in '91 and was taken over itself by the American Skiing Company in 1996.

The American Skiing Company has plowed $24 million into improvements including the Nitro Express, a new high-speed quad in the Carinthia area and two magic carpets in the main base area - one featuring an authentic Vermont covered bridge. These new lifts took the resort total up to 26 serving more than 130 trails over five separate mountain faces with north, south and east facing slopes.  Altogether there's more than 50 miles (80km) of trails at Mount Snow, the longest is about two and a half miles in length.
