Ski Area Holiday Events
Across the state NH's ski areas celebrate the holidays.

Mother Nature hasn't brought much snow yet this season but ski area operators have still been able to make snow and many NH ski areas' lifts are running, albeit with fewer trails. During the holidays ski areas will be offering plenty of activities for all ages - including many attractions traditionally available in the summer and fall months. Families won't be disappointed!

North Country

Loon Mountain will be hosting events all Holiday Week long including a chance to ski or ride with Santa on Christmas Eve, the Best Damn Ugly Sweater party in the Paul Bunyan Room from 3-7 pm on December 26th, and Loon's very own New Years Eve Party in the Bunyan Room beginning at 8:30 pm. Family activities include a bungee trampoline, ziplining, a bounce house, face painting, balloon animals and a bonfire complete with hot chocolate.

On Sunday, December 27, Cranmore and Santa are inviting guests to join them at Cranmore Mountain Resort for a pancake breakfast in Zip's Pub from 8-10am.
