The past few weeks have brought snowfalls and cold temperatures to New Hampshire ski resorts resulting in extensive snowmaking efforts setting the stage for an incredible holiday vacation. Every ski area in New Hampshire plans to be open for the holiday week, with many having almost all, or 100% of their terrain open. The recent snow will add to the already festive atmosphere at New Hampshire ski areas with a full slate of events on tap. Listed below are a sampling of events for the holidays;
The festivities start December 24 at Loon Mt. with a Christmas Eve Candlelight
Service. Christmas Day is a great day to get a few runs in to earn that holiday
meal. Several ski areas including Attitash, The Balsams Wilderness, Bretton Woods,
Cranmore, Loon Mt., McIntyre, Mount Sunapee, Ragged Mt., and Waterville Valley plan
to have lifts turning for the holiday, and even Santa may get out for a few turns
that day at some New Hampshire ski areas.
Bretton Woods has events running all week (December 26-30) including Family Fun Days with sing-alongs, cookie decorating, dog sled rides and more. They also host Kids' Apres Ski Parties that week with clowns, magicians, storytelling and more. From December 27-31, Attitash hosts Winterfest with competitions, snowshoe tours, games, contests and activities for the whole family. On December 28 guests can watch a torchlight parade at The Balsams Wilderness. Mount Sunapee continues their annual Sugar on Snow Celebration on December 28, where skiers and snowboarders can have free samples of local maple syrup served on snow.
Cross country skiers can enjoy Full Moon Ski Tours on December 26 at Bretton Woods and Nordic Skier.
As always many of New Hampshire's ski resorts including Bretton Woods, The Balsams Wilderness, Cannon Mountain, Gunstock, Mount Sunapee, Mountain View Grand and Pats Peak have festivities planned for New Year's Eve.
