Reviews

This is a great place for people of all abilities, while it does lean towards beginner and intermediate terrain. Beautiful views and nicely maintained trails and lots of acreage for people to spread out. Very family friendly place with nice staff.

Great resort, but lodge can get a little crowded. Love that they allow uphill travel, though I would say $25 for an uphill ticket is more than other resorts in the area. Slopes are nice and wide with a good exposure. The classic views of the Presidential range are really hard to beat. Bretton Woods also has great snowmaking - I often drive by and see them cranking their guns anytime the temperature allows.

One of my favorite resorts! The further you go from the main lodge the quieter, but its hard to get lost which is a plus. Always love skiing here, especially in the spring!
