Thanks to its location along the Scenic Route 100 Byway, Waitsfield is perfectly suited to a day trip. It offers jaw-dropping views of the Mad River Valley and the surrounding mountains, but the biggest reason to come here is the nearby Mad River Glen Ski Area, which offers wonderfully challenging skiing in the winter. Unlike many other ski resorts in the area, this one doesn't permit snowboarders. If you don't ski, there are still plenty of things to do, with highlights including the historic Skinner Barn, the Waitsfield Covered Bridge, and the Big Picture Café and Theater, which shows several movies daily.
