Bretton Woods, NH - Skiing and Snowboarding

Bretton Woods has 101 trails - so you won't get bored while visiting...

10 lifts are capable of having 14,000 skiers per hour enjoy the snowy terrain. If there's not enough snow, conditions will still be great each day because snowmakers will work around the clock. Night skiing is also available.

Lessons are available for groups, adults, children, and those with disabilities if you need a little help along the way.

The Canopy tours are scheduled to open on December 6th, 2008.

It's a series of treetop zip lines that allow you to experience the area from a bird's eye view at over 1000 ft elevation. The canopy tours will be the longest in the continental US. While on tour, you will be guided with information on local plants and animals, history, and stories along the way.

I was lucky enough at 18 to have my first job at Bretton Woods, which is why I'm partial to the area. I worked in the nursery taking care of infants and toddlers, and was lured to hop on skis one day. It was all over from there - I very quickly learned how to ski and snowboard by staying late hours, and carving through every trail I could during breaks. A few weeks later I was teaching kids lessons...and the season passed by before I knew it.

I often sat on the top of a trail to gaze across at the Presidential mountain range at eye level with the Mount Washington hotel appearing so small in the middle of this spectacular view. The area is begging to be photographed from every angle. It's one place that I think everyone should have a chance to experience in their lifetime, and one that I'll soon share with my own kids.
