Bretton Woods ~ Open for skiing and riding!

After the two big guns in Maine opened their slopes to skiers and riders it goes unsaid that more ski areas across New England would be following the lead.

This weekend Bretton Woods was the first New Hampshire mountain to take advantage of the cold air over the past week and show off the hard wok of the mountain operations snowmaking team.

Waist Deep, good snowmaking

Bretton Woods opened on Saturday (11/10/07). Terrain was limited - as expected - but there is more on the way. Check back to the website daily for updates. Bretton Woods
