Fayston

Few communities in Vermont have a history as closely tied to the development of alpine skiing as Fayston. Set in the Green Mountains above the Mad River Valley, this small town is home to Mad River Glen on General Stark Mountain, an independent ski area opened in 1948. Its steep, wooded terrain and a long-running ban on snowboarding have made it a distinctive name in New England skiing. Mad River Glen has been owned by a skier cooperative since 1995, an unusual model that reflects Fayston’s local identity. Beyond the lifts, Fayston is a rural town of forested slopes, working land and roads leading toward the Mad River communities of Waitsfield and Warren.
