Local schools take their Ski Club students here. There is every level of course for the beginner to the pro. My husband and son prefer the challenges of Bristol to Swain, where the Rochester City Schools go. As always,you have to watch out for the immature, "I'm not paying any attention," snow boarders, one kid ran into my husband, knocked... More

In fairness, I need to start by admitting that I have been a Bristol Mountain ski instructor for over 30 years. But that depth of experience makes me pretty well qualified to provide a review that's based on thousands of days & nights spent skiing there. And as a ski instructor, it's really not my own experience that matters, but... More

This mountain offers a good amount of variety, and is great for us since it is close by. We really enjoy the mountain and how. The runs are a good length and you can find variety if on most trails to tailor beginners and intermediate levels. We are snowboarders, and notice there are mostly skiiers on the mountain. However, the... More

Was there over the weekend with friends. Really enjoyed the place. Even with the crowd, you can still snowboard quietly. The trails are perfect. Even the green have no flat, which is perfect. As beginner, i did enjoyed too the black trails, the weather was perfect and the staff is really polite.

We have returned twice to Bristol Mountain to ski and have enjoyed it both times. This is a well cared for facility, and they have a clip of a business going which seems to be quite well run. The hills are groomed, and even when there a lot of people there always seems to be sufficient room on the hill... More

Bristol was a nice place. Nice assortment of long easy runs and the more challenging. We had one good day of skiing. However, the cost was not worth it, especially when the difference between a 4 hour and an 8 hour ticket is only 7 dollars. The high speed quad lifts were nice to have available but we choose the...

I've reviewed this place before, and still stand by my "average" review when conditions are good, but my experience last week left me wishing I hadn't gone. I understand the weather can be tough and they need to make snow, but when every snow maker is turned on, skiing is no longer enjoyable. You're getting blasted on every lift, by... More

I was at Bristol on Sunday Feb 10 with my son his wife and two children. It was a wonderful experience. Everyone was very helpful. The men in the repair area, the lift operators and the office were very helpful and friendly. I will look forward to returning soon.
