Welcome to the Majestic Presidential Range!

The Mt. Washington Valley comes alive in the winter months, as the mountainsides are dotted with happy skiers and snowboarding, ice skaters out of a Victorian painting, and vacation fun is at its peak!

With the backdrop of the Presidential mountains, many of our local scenery is right out of a Currier and Ives print. Winter nights are magical as sparkling lights illuminate snow covered trees. Mt. Washington is the picture of everything a New England resort should be with its charming villages, icy rivers and snow-covered mountains rising magnificiently against blue skies. With seven terrific downhill ski areas, ice skating at Ham Arena, cross-country ski trails and lots of lakes and ponds just begging to ice fish on, and you can see that recreational fun is plentiful.

At the end of a bustling day, whether it be from snow-sports or from shopping at the many outlet stores, local restaurants and pubs offer a fireside to warm your tootsies and savor a hot toddy.

Many of the towns are still dressed up from the holidays; it adds to the festive air. Experience small New England Villages with their town commons and white steepled churches, many covered bridges, and of course country roads and ski trails...here are some photos to enjoy (taken by Jackson XC, and posted on their website: www.jacksonxc.org. Many thanks to Jackson Ski Touring Foundation in Jackson Village for these wonderful photos!)

The famous Jackson Falls, as the tumultous water slowly turned into ice art!

A lone skier cuts the first path on the ski trail.

Ever wonder what silence feels like? Untouched and beautiful after a snowstorm, this path could lead to many adventures.
