Holiday Snow Blankets NH!

We've all been very patient waiting for the natural snow to fall and we've finally been rewarded! Overnight a fast-moving storm crossed the state, dropping snow on all of our ski areas. We saw as much as 8 inches pile up. Loon 12-23-11

While accumulations were not record breaking, this snow is a huge boost for the vacation period. We're actually fortunate that it isn't champagne powder. With cold temperatures filling the forecast the heavier, wet snow really packs in nicely to create an ideal base. This means ski areas will be able to open more terrain at a faster rate.

Trail counts have more than tripled in the last 7 days alone! Expect to see trails continue to open at a rapid rate thanks to this snow and a chilly snowmaking forecast. Also be sure to keep an eye on XCSkiNH.com as some of our cross country areas celebrate the fresh snow!
