Painted in 1998

New Hampshire has a well-earned reputation for being home to some of the scrappiest, homiest, most welcoming ski areas on the planet, and Bretton Woods is no exception. Located near Berlin, NH, Bretton Woods is a classic North Eastern ski area rife with steep runs and great glades. In fact, after visiting Bretton Woods for their grand opening in 1973, New Hampshire’s governor, Meldrim Thomson, came away so enchanted that he came back the next year to learn to ski. And no matter whether you were just inspired to get into skiing, or you’ve been doing it your whole life, Bretton Woods has terrain to cater to you. With 102 named trails and ten lifts, there’s a lap at Bretton for the whole family.
