Great mountain, by far the best near Rochester. All you reviewers complaining about snow are either ignorant or spoiled. If you go when it snows, it easily the best skiing in the area.

All you people complaining about their lack of "advanced" terrain are really coming off like stuck up snobs. It's an East Coast mountain, there isn't going to be a ton of varied terrain . Personally I have skiied all over the world and consider myself an advanced to expert skiier after 35 years on the mountain. I personally have never had a problem finding good runs @ Bristol when the conditions are good. Of course I'm not an asshat looking to only ski "the gnarliest thing on the mountain" every run.

Secondly their prices are really reasonable comparably. Twilight pass is 39$ from 330 to 10pm. And an eight hour is 65$. In comparison Okemo, VT, one of the best resorts on the East Coast has a 85$ eight hour, no night skiing, and 65$ half day. Out West generally tickets are about $110 a day(8 hours). So to all those saying it is too expensive your ignorant or way to frugal. If you think a mountain like Bristol is doing anything other that breaking even on a good year your crazy.

And to all those looking for refunds when they got hurt, newsflash, no ski resorts do that. It's written on your pass if you get hurt it's not their responsibility.
You want to grow a rural region develop vacation resorts. Bristol has all the makings of a great mountain.
