Our Top Picks to Hit the Slopes this Winter

Planning a winter getaway in the White Mountains? At Owl’s Nest Resort, guests can enjoy comfortable lodging, dining, and relaxing amenities after a full day outdoors. Located just minutes from Lincoln and Woodstock, New Hampshire, Owl’s Nest Resort makes an ideal home base for skiing in the White Mountains. To help you make the most of your trip, our team put together a few favorite places nearby for skiing and snowboarding this season. The big three — Cannon Mountain, Waterville Valley and Loon Mountain — are all known for excellent winter conditions and consistently offer some of the most terrain open in the state.

Cannon Mountain

The 2022-2022 season marks Cannon Mountain’s 80th anniversary! If you feel like bringing out your inner daredevil, Cannon has the most intense terrain of the three. Some personal favorites to really get your blood pumping include Paulie’s Folly, Upper Hardscrabble, and Profile. If you want to get a little extra adventurous, take a left off Upper Cannon onto the Lost Boys Glade – it never disappoints!

Waterville Valley

Out of the big 3, Waterville Valley has the biggest improvement plans for the 2022-2022 season with massive renovations of their lodges and bars, snow making, and new lifts. The word on the street is their new Green Peak now has the lift spinning. Waterville Valley also gets the most sun out of the three, making every day feel just a little bit brighter!

Loon Mountain

Currently holding the crown for the most acreage open in the state, Loon’s high-tech snow making capabilities have proven their worth over the last couple of years. Whether you want the family atmosphere, breathtaking views, or day and night snow tubing on the Little Sister Trail, Loon has something for everyone in your group. South Peak is now open – offering even more acreage and picture-worthy opportunities! Our recommendation for a top to bottom run; Flying Fox, Grand Junction, Seven Brothers – spitting you out right at the Paul Bunyan Room, a popular beer hangout.

From helping you secure lodging to finding the right Après Ski spot, at Owl’s Nest Resort, we can help you plan your perfect getaway this winter. Book your winter stay here!
