Lots of terrain variety, and the lines never get too bad. Single base area makes regrouping easy, and the lodge was great before the renovation and only got even better.... More

A great resort for the whole family very accessible off NH rt 93. Stay in luxurious accommodations at the base of the hill or one of the many condos or air b&bs near by. The hill itself has terrain for all ability levels, even the advanced expert (although not much variety there). Also close by to Loon and Cannon for those wanting to resort hop.... More
