Bretton Woods Ski Area

-Ski Magazine from 2024-
We're excited that SKI Magazine readers once again chose Bretton Woods for the best snow and best grooming in the East going into the 2024-2025 season. Other top rankings include the best in New Hampshire, #4 overall in the east, #1 snowiest resort in the east, and among the top 10 for lifts, dining, lodging, guest services, family-friendly, and overall satisfaction. Thank you to all of our hard working associates - on and off the hill - for creating 51 years of snow sports and hospitality excellence.
Visit Bretton Woods, New Hampshire's largest ski area with 464 acres of skiing and snowboarding on 63 trails and 35 glades. Ten lifts, including the Bretton Woods Skyway 8-Passenger Gondola and four high-speed quads, make your ride up the mountain almost as fun as the ride down. If there's snow falling, chances are we've got it - or we can make it with snow-making on 92% of our trails. Located in the heart of the White Mountains, we have countless year-round family-friendly activities.
Our Alpine and Nordic snow reports will be your go-to resource for open terrain and lifts, as well as any last-minute operational changes. Use this great resource to better plan you visit.
