Other top rankings for 2024 include the best in New Hampshire for Overall Satisfaction, Lifts, Lodging, Guest Services, Dining, Family Friendly and Après Ski Scene. Thank you to all of our hard working associates - on and off the hill - for creating 50 years of snow sports and hospitality excellence.
Visit Bretton Woods, New Hampshire's largest ski area with 464 acres of skiing and snowboarding on 63 trails and 35 glades. Ten lifts, including the Bretton Woods Skyway 8-Passenger Gondola and four high-speed quads, make your ride up the mountain almost as fun as the ride down. If there's snow falling, chances are we've got it - or we can make it with snow-making on 92% of our trails. Located in the heart of the White Mountains, we have countless year-round family-friendly activities.
Our Alpine and Nordic snow reports will be your go-to resource for open terrain and lifts, as well as any last-minute operational changes. Use this great resource to better plan you visit.
