Snow, Endless Terrain and Activities in NH
Conway, NH - While there's plenty of snow and endless terrain to explore in New Hampshire, there are also lots of other activities available to try at Ski NH's ski areas. From snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on miles of groomed trails to exploring the winter wonderland on a fat bike, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy the great outdoors. For those seeking a different kind of adventure, many resorts offer options such as snow tubing, ice skating, and even winter ziplining.
Thrill-seekers can head to Bretton Woods for an exhilarating winter zipline tour. Tours consist of nine ziplines, two sky bridges, three rappels, and stunning views of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range. These popular tours fill up fast, but spots can be secured at BrettonWoods.com.
Another option at some ski areas is Sno-Go ski biking, an innovative hybrid between skiing and biking. Sno-Go bikes are equipped with skis in place of the wheels, offering a unique way to glide down the mountain with full control. Guests can take a guided tour at Mount Sunapee or rent one for the day at Loon Mountain Resort.
For those looking for a truly unique experience, head to Great Glen Trails and sign up for a ride in the Mt. Washington SnowCoach, a tracked vehicle that transports visitors up 3,000 feet in elevation on the Mt. Washington Auto Road to reach the sub-arctic world at 4,200 feet. The warm, comfortable ride is guided by experts who narrate the history and unique features of the mountain. At the “Top of the Tour,” guests are invited to step out to witness breathtaking views of the Presidential Range, or experience the mountain’s extreme weather firsthand.
After a day on the slopes or exploring winter trails, ski areas across New Hampshire host events throughout the season. Cranmore Mountain Resort is hosting the family-friendly Cranapalooza every night from February 16-21. Crotched Mountain Resort will be hosting their 4th Midnight Madness of the season on February 22 for lovers of late-night skiing. There are also always plenty of après ski events for those who want to keep the fun going past sunset.
