Bretton Woods was actually pretty nice today. Fast packed snow but no ice to speak of. Fun on the groomers (and so different from yesterday)
-
Wasn’t bad today actually - fast, packed snow. Didn’t venture into the glades of course. My pride took a beating as my 7 year old son beat me by a good 4 seconds on the NASTAR course lol
-
44 degrees with flurries lol. Great day on the slopes
-
Seems to be setting up for the usual great conditions till the holiday week lol
-
Interesting. That doesn’t make the Wildcat chair seem particularly exceptional, even though it’s always felt that way to me. Might be their marketing lol… “The Wildcat Express is the fastest and longest detachable Quad chair lift in New Hampshire and possibly the fastest in the Northeast.”
-
Wowzer. It doesn’t feel like it was such an awful winter but that graph tells another story
-
That chair is 1000 ft/min or so. As @PhineasC said, it hauls ass
-
For fast vertical, you should really try Wildcat if you haven’t already. A single chair, 2100+ feet of vertical, and fast ride up.

Yeah we got some zr 2 nights ago
-
You had to ruin it didn't you? I was just daydreaming about planting my tomatoes!
-
Days like this make me feel ready for Spring. So foolish though
-
2" if not a bit more in Littleton and nothing at home. Don't see that very often!
-
Went to the ice castles in Lincoln tonight. Always fun, they get more impressive every year. Very scary drive though - lots of spin outs on Rt 3 between Twin Mountain and 93.
-
Huh? I have 5” of fresh snow on my walkway, how are you not accumulating??? Although it is wet and when I shoveled it there is water on the bottom -
Nice little bust in the forecast lol. The 1” we had in the forecast turned into almost half a foot of very pretty spring like snow. Seems elevation dependent, you could see a clear line on the hills on the way to Whitefield. Still snowing!
-
Haven't measured but it's certainly stacking up unexpectedly. Very pretty heavy catpaws
-
1.5” overnight. Snizzling now
-
A mild 30 degrees and mod snow wavering between cat paws and regular flake size here
-
Also it’s snowing. Only 1” in the forecast so I’m surprised at the current intensity.
-
Fully agree. The more I ski other areas, the more I realize what a special place BW is. Went to Wildcat today. Such a different experience lol. I love the “big mountain” feel it has and the scenery is stunning (we actually got married at the top there). But the snow was sooo packed and windswept, it made it much less enjoyable.
-
Was also thinking - the resort is 100% open. I don’t think there was a ever a time last year when all terrain and all glades were skiable. So far this ski season is not disappointing
-
That’s Wild West, right next to the West Mountain quad. You can avoid Cliffs Cliff, above it, which as the name suggests has some section that require a bit of jumping or maneuvering around large rocks, by taking the right right below Little Tuckermanns. A great trail, lots of nooks for the kids to explore.
-
Yes that’s why I think Bretton Woods is hard to beat for easy but really beautiful glades. The openness and variety is awesome - from narrow paths to scattered trees to some more challenging ones with some jumps and small cliffs. It’s great for intermediate skiers who otherwise don’t get a chance to really experience something like that at most other resorts.
-
Made this video today of my kids “running away from the monster” through the glades. Actually turned out kinda cool. https://photos.app.goo.gl/eBdSiMimhSy415iu7

The powder out there is unbelievable. My kids are now fixated on glade skiing, which is great but we’ve spent over an hour this weekend looking for lost skis, poles, and trying to get kids out of the 4 feet or so of fresh powder that are on the mountain that you just sink right in. If they fall outside of the area that people have packed down it’s a pain in the you know what. Actually kinda scary at times lol
