The Skiers' Guide to Pats Peak

Pats is an amazing family mountain, we are currently teaching our two daughters to ski and this is the best place for learning.

While not a spectacular mountain, its a really nice cozy neighborhood hill. The terrain parks and moguls are def the star of the show! Theres not much in the area, so if youre staying, Manchester is probably the best and cheapest option. Never very busy either. Super excited for the expansion!

Great place for skiing on the weekends and holidays. The slopes are suitable for kids and beginners, there are good rental opportunities for all riders, friendly staff always ready to help.

I have had a season pass for a second year now. When the conditions are good they have top notch mogul runs. They have only a hand full of trails that are what I would consider steep. One of my big problems with the resort are a lot of trails are taken up by racing because it is where all the highschools come to race and practice. Another slight problem is the park. They have a very beginner park with some very small jumps and some boxes and then they have a big park with not many features for progression. The rails are very advanced and there arent many jumps so unless you are an expert on rails you wont have a lot to do in the terrain park. One pro is they have night skiing. This is great for me because I go after school 2 times a week. They are a very good beginner mountain. They have a bunch of greens and blues to learn how to ski. All and all it is an okay resort you will just run out of stuff to do after a couple of hours because it is on the smaller side.

When there is a decent snow pack pats peek is fun to ski, especially the back of the mountain which is Les crowded during the day. And Ive barely ever had to wait in line. Also the chili and honey cookies are a must try in the lodge.
