“Pat's is the best version of itself: an unpretentious, family-friendly, well-run, convenient and affordable ski area. Small for the region, but they get the most out of it with aggressive snowmaking, fast lift lines, good crowd management and sensible planning, and lights! I grew up night skiing, and this is the best-lit spot in New England, with the most accessible hours. They put their money into the mountain they have, not trying to market themselves as the next Vail (which has done a pretty lame job managing the customer experience at the local properties they've taken over recently!) Pat's website is very AOL-era, but if you know what you're looking for, it's all you need. This probably goes back to getting the basics right, keeping their costs (and prices!) under control, and not trying to show off or bring in the luxury tourism crowd at the expense of the average enthusiast. Very on-brand--wouldn't change a thing. Not the place I'd go for an epic pow weekender, but just what the doctor ordered for most of the season. And it happens to be very pretty, too. If you've got a bad attitude about noobs here to learn the sport you supposedly love, or you need to be spoiled on and off the snow, don't let the door hit you on the way out. If you can chill and appreciate everyday user-friendliness, affordability, and maximizing quality time on the snow over posing or being pampered, you'll love it here.“

“My husband and I have been living in the area for 6 years, and embarrassingly enough, have never been here - until last night. We sat at the bar next to another couple who were very nice. We started with some drinks and teriyaki and triple play wings. They were good, though I am not much of a sauce on my wing's person. For dinner, I got a fried chicken sandwich while my husband ordered a burger. I ate very little, only because I was full from the wings. The onion rings were amazing - food was fresh, reasonably price and the service was amazing. A must stop if you're in the area. We can't wait to return soon!“

“The food was ok. I had the meatloaf. Others at my table and had the meatloaf and said it was great. It wasn't. But the rice pilaf that came with it was amazing. The place was cute. Very clean. Packed with locals. Friendly service. I would definitely go back, but for the steak and more yummy pilaf!“
