SKI USA - Loon Mountain

The Resort

With a number of years of continuous investment Loon Mountain has established a reputation for some of the best prepared and most snow sure piste in New Hampshire. The excellent reputation of the ski school ensures a ski week that is guaranteed to get results. The fun doesn't stop after skiing with a range of high-tech snow toys available for those energetic enough to need more action when the lifts close.

The Skiing

As with Bretton Woods, beginners and intermediates are well catered for at Loon Mountain. Starting on the Little Sister Chair or Sarsaparilla drag beginners will soon find their ski legs and head up the mountain to take on the wide gentle slopes of the Upper & Lower Bear Claw runs. Loon Mountain gives everyone that 'ski the whole mountain' feeling. The intermediate skiers will be cruising all over the hill on confidence building blue and red runs like the Speakeasy and Flying Fox. More advance skiers can enjoy the challenging glade skiing on North Peak on the Bucksaw and Missing Link runs or stick to the piste and try out the black diamond runs of Walking Boss or Angel Street. Whatever your ability Loon Mountain will keep you amused all week.
