Picture above Dec 26, 2009. Crowd gathered to witness ribbon cutting for the new T-bar.

The dedication of the lift to John A Pierson, Jr was a Grand success. Of particular note was the beautiful Barre marble plaque hung on the bottom terminal with a dedication of the lift to John. The Blodgett family attended the event and Leland Blodgett, the donor that finally helped us to realize the completion of the T-bar for the 2009/2010 season, was remembered for his kindness and generosity. Speeches by Steve Simpson, Leland's brother Putter Blodgett, and John's daughter Kay were very well received.

Big Thanks You's go out to the Waterbury VT radio station WDEV (550 AM) for broadcasting the ceremony, Vermont Ski Area Association and Vermont Ski Museum for underwriting the cost of the live broadcast, and both the East Corinth General Store and Waits River General Store for catering the event.

The addition of the new lift has allowed us to reclaim some old trails as well as make the slopes more accessible to some of our more experienced skiers.

This is our new-to-us Bombardier groomer. Thanks very much to Aaron Kidder for all his work finding and fixing up this beautiful piece of equipment. We are thrilled with the way it has improved snow conditions on the hill and can't wait until we have a bit more snow so we can really put it to the test. The 1997 machine has a ten-way blade and tiller.

The terrain at Northeast Slopes is one of the many reasons this ski hill has remained a local’s favorite for so many years. Beginners enjoy Northeast Slopes because the smaller of its two ski tows provides easy access to gentle terrain that is set apart from normal skier traffic. This makes learning to ski or ride a fun, and non-threatening experience.

Northeast Slopes has approximately 12 trails on more than 35 skiable acres. A vertical height of 360' and 3 surface lifts - including the new T-bar. Skiers or boarders with more experience enjoy NES because the main ski tow - and now the T-bar - access a wide selection of rolling groomed trails as well as challenging steeps, glades, jumps and a fun terrain park.

With a breathtaking view of Mt Moosilauke from the top, and compact but varied terrain, Northeast Slopes has something for everyone.

A day pass is just $12 and there is an affordable snack bar at the base offering hot and cold refreshment, including local grass-fed beef burgers with Cabot cheese and Green Mountain coffee. Volunteers are usually available to show you the hill or give you a lesson upon request.

Due to Insurance Restrictions Northeast Slopes Cannot Offer Ski or Board Rentals. Snow-Tubing and Sledding are Strictly Prohibited!
