Bretton Woods Mountain Road and High Country Trails 10:00


Wednesday March 25th, 2015

Bretton Woods: Mountain Road and the High Country Trails!  10:00 am


Wednesday is supposed to warm up so the snow will eventually be soft and spring-like! Wednesday is 2-fer day at Bretton Woods. The plan is to meet at the Nordic Center at 10:00 am, take the shuttle to the alpine slope, ski the new 3K Fabyan's Fields (flat, sunny), take the lift up, ski Mountain Road to the T-bar, ride the T-bar up to the cabin, ski the High Country and Telegraph Traverse trails above the cabin, then head down Mountain Road, cross route 302 and head back to the Nordic Center. This is truly the MOST FUN XC ski routes in New England! You will need that 2-fer Nordic ticket and a special alpine ticket good for one trip up the chairlift (or your season 's pass). Both can be obtained at the Nordic Center.

Meet at the Nordic Center at 10:00 am.

If you would like to carpool, meet at the back of Grant's Supermarket parking lot (near the walk-in medical center) at 9:20 am. I already have passengers, so see you at Bretton Woods!

Thursday, March 5

The Hall/Ellis Loop is my favorite!  Doing it as described here shortens the trip and ends it after a fun downhill.
Meet at the Jackson Ski Touring Center at 9:30 am.   We carpool up to the South Hall trailhead on Green Hill Road. Ski down The Connector to the Ellis, head north up to the Rocky Branch parking lot. Climb the North Hall and cruise down the South Hall back to the car. Total distance is 20K.
