NEW FOR 2007-08

Galaxy was extended down to the base of the mountain in 2006-07 converging near Lower Meteor.  This now adds another top to bottom trail that should be very appealing to intermediate and advanced skiers and riders. New for 2007-08 is the addition of snowmaking and lighting to Lower Galaxy.

Check out our new Virtual Trail Map.  If you want to see what it's like to ski/ride down a particular trail or ride a specific chair to the top, then this is where to go.  This is still in the process of being developed with music, background, etc.  Experiment with this feature and for best results, use with a high bandwidth internet capability.  This is normally going to be accessed from the home page by selecting "about us" and then "trail map."

If you have never stepped into a ski or snowboard binding, or you have only tried skiing or snowboarding just a few times, Bristol Mountain has a very special experience in store for you.

Bristol Mountain has several slopes and trails (22% of the mountain) that support beginner level skiers/riders.  For the very first time skier/rider, the Launching Pad provides a very gentle and open slope accessible by a rope tow.  Right next to that slope and to the north is a double chair that is very suited to accessing the next level beginner trail named Infinity.  For those ready for more advanced beginner terrain the entire left face of the mountain is dedicated to beginners and advanced beginners.  Use of just the Morning Star quad lift can provide continued access to beginner terrain without returning to the base.  A scenic beginner trail is available from the top of the mountain to the base that is two miles in length.
