What's new at NH's White Mountain Ski Area for the 2012-13 Ski Season.

Here’s a look at some of the enhancements that guests will enjoy in the White Mountains this winter:

Loon Mountain, Lincoln - Loon is adding two new terrain parks built specifically for families; The Burton Riglet Park and Lil’ Stash. They are also opening the Hearthside Cafe, located in the Octagon Lodge at the main base area. The café will feature healthy lunch options.

Cannon Mountain, Franconia Notch - Cannon is spending a half-million dollars on snowmaking improvements this summer. Among the additions are dedicated snowmaking on Paulie’s Folly trail. New air and water lines are being installed on Upper Cannon and fan gun power pedestals are being added on Lower Cannon. A new twenty-foot automated, portable tower fan gun, one of the first of its kind in North America, is being added as well. Several trail enhancements are underway including removal of a tree island on the Tossup trail, which will allow for more snowmaking and a bigger terrain park. A new Prinoth Bison X terrain park groomer has been purchased to shape and smooth out all the snow.

Bretton Woods, Bretton Woods - This winter skiers and riders will find the addition of lift service to the Mount Stickney area of the resort. Bretton Woods recently added 30 acres of glades to the area that will now be serviced by a 2,000 foot Doppelmayr T-bar lift. The glades are also being expanded to include some steep drop-offs for adventurous experts as well as more wide-open glades for less-experienced skiers and riders. At the top of the lift a new 600-square-foot log cabin is being constructed. The cabin will feature an exterior stone fireplace as well as a porch for enjoying the sun on warmer days. Inside, a wood stove will warm skiers between runs. The popular Range View trail will be home to 50 new SV10 Impulse snowguns. In the base lodge guests will be able to select custom clothing, gear and accessories electronically at the new Bogner virtual clothing store, which will then be mailed to their home address. The recently constructed Canopy Tour, Williwaw Racing Zip and indoor climbing wall will also be available to guests this winter.

Cranmore Mountain Resort, North Conway - Over the summer Cranmore is replacing its historic East Double Chair with a triple chairlift. The lift will increase uphill capacity and add 300 feet of vertical drop to the resort’s southern slopes. The lift will also provide access to the summit of the mountain. Sixty new snow guns have been added to the resort’s arsenal, bringing the total of high-efficiency snow guns to 300. The Soaring Eagle Zipline installed this summer will operate all winter, joining the snowtubing park, mountain coaster and giant swing as alternative activities for winter guests.

Black Mountain, Jackson - More than $500,000 is being invested over the summer in snowmaking improvements including two new Ingersoll Rand Centac electric air compressors which will more than double the overall snowmaking capacity while reducing the area’s carbon footprint. Thirty-five low energy high-efficiency tower snow guns have been added to the primary race trail, Jackson Standard, as well as the Big Dipper, Maple Slalom and Black Beauty trails. A new beginners’ area is being completed with all-new snowmaking lines, hydrants and low energy, high-efficiency tower guns. Additionally, the new learning area will have a new dedicated surface lift. Improvements to the base lodge include an expanded ski school and ticketing area, a new day care and nursery area, fully renovated dining room areas, and expansion to the Lostbo Pub, more than doubling its size. An all-new ticketing system will provide guests with a quick and efficient ticketing experience.

Fall Foliage: Thoughts, Answers, and some more useful (or less) information

(Updated Oct. 20, 2012)

WHITE MOUNTAINS REGION 

If you’d like to see foliage in the White Mountains region, you need to get up there as soon as possible. Our leaf peepers here are reporting the last traces of peak color, with lots of falling leaves swirling around the landscape. With the bright reds and oranges gone, the majority of the remaining colors are rusts and yellows. Try viewing the colors during sunrise or sunset to boost up the glow a bit. Traveling the Kancamagus Highway along Route 112, Franconia Notch on Route 93, and Crawford Notch along Route 302 will reward the traveler with beautiful views no matter what the foliage is doing.

LAKES REGION

Look for peak fall color in the Lakes region right now! The vibrant reds, bold oranges and strong yellows are everywhere, and panoramic views will not disappoint those looking for the deepest colors of autumn. Lake Winnipesaukee is surrounded with stunning foliage, as are the other bodies of water in this area. Although you will see some bare trees, the majority of what is left are pastel oranges, yellows and bright greens sprinkled with hot pinks, all against a warm blue sky. You can’t go wrong no matter which road you take in your travels, but here are a few particularly scenic drives: Routes 3, 11 and 28 along the southern part of the region; Routes 25, 109 and 113 along the northern edge; and Route 171 from Ossipee to Moultonborough.

GREAT NORTH WOODS REGION

The fall foliage show is pretty much over in the Great North Woods region. Most of the colored leaves are scattered across lawns, fields and meadows, and what’s left on the trees is mainly burnished browns and shades of gold and amber. The good news is, the views are wide open and expanded with so many bare trees. Photographers will benefit from the cleared scenic vistas. Wildlife will be easier to spot as well. Increase your chances of seeing moose by traveling Route 3 from Colebrook to Pittsburg, and Route 26 through Dixville Notch. Use caution and keep your distance from these wild animals; they are very unpredictable during this rutting season. 

There are so many resources to find out when the leaves are changing.  I will attempt to list some of the ones that I find to be most useful.

Yankee Magazine has a tremendous website dedicated to Fall Foliage, not just for New Hampshire, but all of New England.  http://www.yankeefoliage.com/

The State of New Hampshire has a Fall Foliage report that can be found by clicking on the following link http://www.visitnh.gov/foliage/.

There are numerous scenic drives which one can choose.  I have been known prefer many of the back roads that the region has to offer.  My advice is that if you see a dirt road, take it.  You never know what you may find, it could be wildlife such as a Moose or a spectacular pond with the colors reflecting.  Here are some scenic choices for you:


A MULTI-NOTCH MOUNTAIN RIDE (approx. 142 miles)
This loop has several variations. From Conway, turn west on Rt. 112, the Kancamagus Highway (locals call it the Kanc), which offers 37 miles of stunning mountain scenery through the White Mountain National Forest.
In Lincoln, you can either turn north onto I-93 through Franconia Notch State Park and its soaring mountain peaks, then onto Rt. 3 to Twin Mountain and the junction with Rt. 302 OR you can continue west on Rt. 112 through Kinsman Notch to Rt. 302, which heads to Bath, Lisbon, Littleton, Bethlehem, Twin Mountain and Bretton Woods, home of the Mount Washington Hotel . Rt. 302 continues east through Crawford Notch and past some of the most spectacular scenery in the East. In Bartlett, you can turn south on Bear Notch Road, a seasonal road that connects to the Kancamagus Highway west of Conway ; or you can join Rt. 16 in Glen and follow it back to your starting point in Conway.
If you turn north on Rt. 16 in Glen , you'll go through Pinkham Notch , past the Mt. Washington Auto Road the Ride to the Sky to Gorham and the Great North Woods Ride.

Scenic Byways
Kancamagus Highway
Rte. 112, Conway to Lincoln. Part of the White Mountains Trail. Passes through the White Mountain National Forest. Colonial history and forest ecology experiences offered along the way at the Russell Colbath Historic Site and Forest Discovery Trail.

River Heritage Tour

Superb views, river recreation, agricultural heritage, period architecture. White Mountain Trail Make a loop along the Kancamagus Highway to Rte. 16N to Glen and Rte. 302 West to Rte. 3 South to I-93, the Franconia Notch Parkway to Kancamagus Highway. Views include Mount Washington, Mount Washington Resort, mountain cascades, wildlife and the Appalachian Trail.
