Ski Bliss in New Hampshire
The Magic of Mount Washington Hotel and Resort
By Maria T. Olia
A Winter Play LandSkiing is the main attraction for guests of the Mount Washington in winter. Bretton Woods is New Hampshire's largest ski area and has always had a family reputation. It's ski and snowboard terrain is pretty equally allocated among novice, intermediate and black diamond trails. Even my teens were challenged.
The Mount Washington Resort has tons of other winter fun activities. Many families enroll in cross-country beginner group packages – there are miles of trails with convenient warming huts along the way. Snow tubing (at an extremely reasonable $5 per hour) and free ice skating are conveniently on-site. Horse-drawn sleigh rides of the grounds are also available. And during holiday vacation weeks there's a supervised kids and teen program, as well as drop-in family movies and activities like bingo and sing-alongs. Several indoor pools are located throughout the property. Swimming in the heated outdoor pool at the Mount Washington Hotel amidst the snow flurries is an absolutely magical experience.
