This is a small family oriented mountain. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. They are only partially open for skiing with one rope tow serving one easy beginner's slope. It was perfect for the 13 year old's second downhill experience. We literally had the slope to ourselves with a private lift operator. They are fully open for tubing. We have done that in the past and it is great, exciting and safe fun. They were hosting birthday parties when we were there.

Eaton Mountain was a very fun time for my son and I. we rode the tubes from 3:30 untill the very last run at 6:00. The night runs were extremely exciting and we never stopped having fun the entire time. Thank you Eaton Mountain crew for your hospitality and profesionalism.
