Bretton Woods is New Hampshire’s largest ski area with 434 acres of skiing and snowboarding, including 101 trails and glades, as well as four terrain parks. Ten lifts, including four high-speed quads, make the ride up the mountain almost as fun as the ride down. If there's snow falling, chances are they've got it - or they can make it with snowmaking on 92% of their trails. And, because you'll want to stay on their slopes until after dark, they also offer night skiing and riding. For more information, visit www.mountwashingtonresort.com/
