Skiing near Mt. Washington, NH ??

Yeah Breton woods a and cranmore are defiantly more family novice oriented.

 

How far are you from Conway?

 

The town I live in borders taxachussetts. 40 min east of welder Dave.

 

Ok. Though you were up around winnipesaukee.

 

I spend a bunch of time up there but have to make the drive.

 

I have to go a couple times a month. 3.5 hours for me.

 

I’m kinda in the wrong spot for my hobbies. 2 hours to the cape for fishing the ocean or 2 hours to the valley for big lake fishing and skiing.

 

You have to make the move diagonally north. I’m a half hour to the ocean. 1:15 to Moosehead. Plenty of lakes closer than that with good game fish. We are a couple hours away from Sunday River sugarloaf saddleback though. Eaton in skowhegan used to be ok, steep and narrow. Had night skiing. Then we have the bump across town here. It’s not much.

 

I'll second/ third/ fourth Sunday River in Maine. Attitash bear peak is good too. Never been to wildcat, but it sounds like a good one as well.

Lots of options out there-ah!

 

Jay peak and mad River are the real deal. Lots and lots of glades

 

Attitash and Wildcat are owned by the same company. I'm not sure if its for all tickets, but you can get a ticket which will let you ski both mountains in the same day. They are about 20 minutes apart.

 

Jay peak all kind of glades and off trail
Stowe sugarbush all within 2.5 hours. Jay has better snow

 

Of course Killington and Okemo are 2 hours away they did have the 3+ foot drop of snow earlier but 3” inches rain 2 weeks later made glades wash outs

right now with current temps Mad River is solid ice

 

Ice is no bueno. Just ask my wife's ACL.

 

What's your time frame? I'll be camping along the Kancamagus Highway, middle of February. Me and the guys are snowshoeers, not skiers.

 

Lots of good spots mentioned - Sunday River, definitely. I have always liked Jay - a bit far though... Wildcat is right there/Attitash can't be beat from my perspective.

 

Thanks guys... headed to Killington this coming week (M-F), I've been skiing there for 45 years... ;-)

I think I'll plan a trip to Mt Wash, and then do either Jay or Sunday River, two I've have not been to....

 

My grandfather built the snow guns that covered bear mountain when pres owned it!

 

I will be there Friday! Bringing your saw on the lift? If not, how will I know it’s you?
