“Bretton woods has the best snow and the best glades. Couple that with the best views, a spacious lodge and good food, its hard to beat. Plus, being the furthest big NH ski mountain from Boston, it’s never too crowded.” — Brandon from Peabody
“Best snow conditions, always well groomed with the edges left natural. Fantastic views, glades everywhere and did I mention the T-bar and cabin area.” — Donna from Carlisle
“The best groomed trails in the Northeast. Even though it’s usually busy, the lines are never too long because there is so many open trails and lifts. Friendly staff and beautiful views!” — Jon from Worcester
“Beautiful setting and great terrain. More manageable crowds and short lift lines. Fantastic view of the Presidential Range. A truly pleasant and inspiring place to ski.” — Gary from Danvers
“Just love the view of Mt. Washington.” — Konstantin from Westborough
