"First time out here on December 20th 2025. The staff are very friendly. There were only two trails open and the runs were quick. Due to the rain fall the previous two days there was not alot of snow, but it was fun!! I would recommend this pls for families and or beginners learning to ski or snowboard. Plenty of time to enjoy the moment at the top of the Mt. with spacious views as far as the eyes can..."

"This is a small ski resort, with just one ski lift and one carpet and another beginner area. For beginners like us it was great. Take into consideration to here's 1/4 of a mile crossing between the beginner's area to the intermediate area - it was not fun to cross country that distance. We took a private ski lesson that was totally unhelpful - unfortunately we had a ski instructor who did very little instructing and didn't give us much..."

"I am a beginner skier. I skied a bit when I was a kid, but stopped after a couple years. I did not know where to start, until I came across Willard. What brought me to Willard was the proximity to Saratoga Springs (30ish mins) and the affordable prices. This place is a class act and has that warm familiar old-school feel. I signed up for the 6 week course and the whole process was pretty easy. For 600 bucks..."
