...MT. SNOW: The closest of the really big ski areas. In fact, Snow has more miles (71) of trails than any other mountain in New England. Although it is pretty far south, Snow can be one of the best. It gets crowded on weekends and is a haven for jet-setters, but on weekdays in mid-winter you may do okay. The back slope has some very good expert slopes and the whole front face of the mountain is a intermediate's dream. Outdoor, steam-heated pool is an extra, added attraction. 127 miles from Boston...
STRATTON: More family oriented than Mt. Snow, but still an area for beautiful people. In addition, it's got some pretty good trails for all skiers...
WILDCAT: One of those hot-then-cold areas. When the conditions are right, it's great, but, like many areas in New Hampshire, it tends to harden-or ice-up quickly. Although it gets very cold and windy (right in the shadow of Mt. Washington) the gondola to the top protects skiers. During mid-week Wildcat has some great deals that should not be passed up. For instance, "Two-for Day" (Wednesdays) gives you two tickets for the price of one; and the "Wildcat Escape" plan gives you two-days skiing (Mon./Tues. or Thurs./Fri.) and a night...
...CANNON MT.: An under-rated, under-used mountain, but don't tell anybody. Cannon is tolerable on weekends and completely empty on weekdays. The snow cover on top tends to ice up or blow away (since the mountain is almost above the timber-line and only scrub pine trees offer protection), but when it's open, an aerial tramway and two T-bars serve it. Cannon has a great front face for mogul skiers and racers and it's served by its own little chairlift that rarely has a line. In addition, it has nice beginner's slopes. Student tickets...
...LOON MT.: A nice family area, with a variety of skiing. Although Loon is known primarily as an intermediate area, it has a few challenging trails. In short, Loon is a great mountain for the easy-going recreational skier. The four-man gondola also makes it easy to ski with friends. It offers a weekday discount or students with I.D. 132 miles from Boston...
