Gunstock is a four-season mountain resort that provides year-round fun and adventure. Winter offers skiing and snowboarding on 227 skiable acres comprising 49 trails. There's also snow tubing, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and even skijoring on the dog-friendly cross-country ski trails. Located in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, Gunstock is close to Boston, Concord and the N.H. Seacoast. The breathtaking views of Lake Winnipesaukee and its natural beauty makes Gunstock a perfect destination for outdoor-loving families, couples and groups.

WHAT'S NEW:

Guests visiting Gunstock this winter will find another $4.8 million capital improvements that include $1.6 million for snowmaking expansion on the mountain, widening one trail, and extending and reconfiguring another. The deck on the Stockade Lodge has been expanded for outdoor dining and apres ski revelry. A roof between the rental buildings was constructed to cover the walkway to lifts and provide a more comfortable area for guests collecting rental gear. A new $1 million Campground and Nordic Skiing Welcome Center is also nearing completion.

Gunstock  continues to create an overall improved experience for day visitors and season passholders through capital expense plans. With this year’s improvements, Gunstock has reinvested $17 million over a five-year period.

Upper Ramrod is the alpine trail that was extended and reconfigured to intersect with Middle Trigger at a lower point down the mountain. Derringer, a popular trail with intermediate skiers and riders descending the mountain, has been widened to better accommodate skier flow.

Snowmaking has been installed on two trails that have relied on natural snowfall to be accessible to skiers and riders. Snowmaking on Upper Ramrod and Hot Shot include installation of 12,500 feet of snowmaking pipe and 70 energy-efficient HKD Impulse tower guns that provide high production, energy-efficient output of quality snow through a wide range of temperatures.

DON'T MISS:

While skiers and snowboarders know Gunstock's winter attributes, they may be surprised to learn what this Lakes Region resort has to offer in summer and fall

Warm-weather adventure includes hiking, biking, fishing, zipline tours, aerial treetop adventures, a mountain coaster, scenic chairlift rides, and camping.
