The lack of snow in the Alps this year has made a lot of people seriously consider North America as a destination for their main ski or boarding holiday next season. If you’re looking at this as an option, a 6 hour flight to Boston will get you to one of the most fun ski areas State side.
New Hampshire is home to the White Mountains, ancient land of native American tribes, site of the first recorded alien abduction (Betty and Barney Hill, 1961) and location of five of the most fun ski areas you’ll ever have visited.
The best way to plan this ski holiday is to hire a car at Boston airport and drive i93 all the way up into the White Mountains. Your ski pass covers all five resorts and a car is essential for getting between them all. Talk to Miles in the New Hampshire Ski Group to find out more.
Loon Mountain is a playground of perfectly groomed pistes with tree skiing, mogul fields and challenging steeps. Find out more here.
Cannon Mountain is situated in the middle of Franconia Notch State Park and it has a justifiable reputation as challenging but the Tuckerbrook Family Learning Centre is one of the best learning areas around. Find out more here.
We think Wildcat offers some of the most fun skiing in New Hampshire with trails that wind and twist their way across the face of the mountain and with the new express quad that whisks you back up to the top in 6 minutes you can do this all day! Find out more here.
