点评:As always, loved our visit to Butternut. We were 2 families- 4 adults and kids ages 4 (almost 5), 9 and 11. Introduced another family to the mountain and they really enjoyed it.
Beginner area was great for the 4 year old as a first timer- he built up enough comfort over the day to ski unassisted down from the lower carpet. The 9 year old was able to ski unassisted from the higher carpet and beginner lift and graduated to a green by end of day off Highline Quad.
Nice progressive terrain enough for all levels (our group had 2 newbies, 1 high beginner, 2 intermediate and 2 experts) for a quick and easy overnight or even day trip from Fairfield County CT with more reliable conditions than the CT mountains, not to mention the FANTASTIC $25 midweek rate which can’t be beat anywhere around!! If you can play hooky for a day it’s the best ski deal around! $20 for ages 7-13 and $15 under 7. The whole family can ski for less than the price of 1 ticket at other places and it’s so much more pleasant than skiing on the weekend with the crowds and the wait.
Trails were in good condition. Lifts are good and staff was good as always. They’re more chill than at a lot of mountains and don’t yell at you for every little thing.
Lodge is good, spacious and food/drinks are decent enough. Plenty of seating inside and out. Ticketing is well organized- just remember to buy tix ahead if it’s the weekend. Return/refund policy is generous- full refund up to 48 hours, with just a small processing fee.
翻译:和往常一样,我们非常享受这次去巴特纳特的旅程。我们一行有两个家庭,共4位大人以及年龄分别为4岁(快5岁了)、9岁和11岁的孩子。我们还带另一个家庭来体验滑雪,他们也玩得非常开心。
对于初次滑雪的4岁孩子来说,初级区再合适不过了——经过一天的练习,他已经能够独自从低处的输送带滑下来。9岁的孩子则能独立从高处的输送带和初级缆车滑下,到了下午他甚至还成功从Highline Quad缆车处滑上了绿道呢。这里的地形起伏自然且循序渐进,适合各个水平的滑雪者(我们一行人中有2名新手、1名初级水平者、2名中级水平者以及2名高手)。从康涅狄格州费尔菲尔德县出发,只需很短的车程便能抵达,非常适合进行短途过夜或当日往返的滑雪之旅;这里的雪况也远比康州的山区稳定可靠。更不用说每周工作日仅需25美元的超值价格了——这在周边地区绝对无与伦比!!只要能抽出一天时间,这绝对是最划算的滑雪选择!7至13岁儿童票价20美元,7岁以下儿童仅需15美元。全家人一起滑雪的费用,还不到在其他地方买一张门票的价钱。相比周末时人挤人、还要排长队的状况,这里滑雪体验愉快得多。
雪道状况良好。缆车运行正常,工作人员也一如既往地友善。这里的氛围比很多滑雪场要轻松,也不会因为一点小事就对游客大喊大叫。
度假屋不错,空间宽敞,食物和饮料也还算可以。室内外都有充足的座位。票务管理井然有序——不过周末时记得提前购票。退换票政策也很宽松:在购票后48小时内即可全额退款,仅需支付极少的手续费而已。
