To all the Bear Notch Believers, who made this winter work. Thank you!
We are done grooming. Die Hard Spring Skiers, there is still some skiable snow out there but it requires walking to connect and it is going quick.
Hope to see you for our Thanksgiving Weekend Open House.
We will have season passes and equipment on sale.
Enjoy Your Summer.

Our Western Network still has excellent spring conditions. And we are grooming daily. Skiing is still well worth it but this is likely the last day of grooming. Come out and enjoy!
Spring has sprung, Birds are out, Streams are flowing. Come enjoy a pleasant and relaxing spring ski!
Machine groomed Loose Granular - Corn Snow surface
We are out grooming on our Western Trail Network again this AM. Snow coverage in this area is very good. Trails set firm overnight. Once groomed trails have a loose granular corn snow surface. Give us a little time, it is worth the wait. Previously groomed trails will ski well today once temp's rise. Skiers will be impressed with our conditions.
Freshly grooming today: Upper meadow (#1), Waterfall trail (#2), Experimental Forest Trails (#2& #19), Albany brook trail network (#5, #5A& #6). Lower Fields and Our Scenic and Simple Upper Saco River Trails (#16, #17). Bartlett Brook Trail Network (#40 & 42) groomed yesterday.
