It is not called SKI 93 for nothing! The mountains of New Hampshire have something for everyone – beautiful groomed terrain (Bretton Woods and Mt. Sunapee frequently win this accolade), natural snow conditions (be sure to check out Cannon Mountain after a good snowfall), excellent learn to ski programs, and more. There are mountains of all levels spread across the state – from first-timers trying out McIntyre Ski Area in Manchester to Tuckerman’s Ravine, where experts (and others) hike up and ski down this challenging and avalanche-prone slope on Mt. Washington well into the spring.
