A news release on the great start to the ski season here at Bretton Woods! http://ht.ly/3sDCR

Bretton Woods off to a great and snowy start to the ski season!

BRETTON WOODS, N.H. (December 20, 2010) – Abundant snowfall and cold temperatures have given Bretton Woods – New Hampshire’s largest ski area – a great start to the 2010-11 ski season!

With over two feet of natural snow in the last two weeks complemented by around-the-clock snowmaking, Bretton Woods has more than half of its 464 acres open for skiing and riding. 
Bretton Woods’ unique location sandwiched between Franconia and Crawford Notches and the Presidential Range brings conditions that aren’t always found in nearby towns – a phenomenon commonly referred to by locals as the “Bretton Woods flurries.”

“I travel from the Mount Washington Valley to Bretton Woods every day.  I often leave for work under blue skies and arrive in Bretton Woods where the snow is falling,” says Alexa Bernotavicz, Assistant Director of Ski Area Operations.  “It really is like working in a snow globe. Just because you don’t have snow in your backyard it doesn’t mean the conditions up at Bretton Woods aren’t fantastic”

For the upcoming holiday week, Bretton Woods is offering skiing and riding until 8pm December 26-January 1. With all the new snow and cold temperatures, all lifts will be operating and you can enjoy wide open cruisers or spend some time swooshing under snow-laden trees in the glades.  There will be après ski entertainment in the Slopeside Pub along with the ever-popular supervised après ski parties for kids age 4-12.

For more information and the latest snow conditions, call the snowphone at 603-278-3333 or visit www.brettonwoods.com.  Or to make reservations at the Omni Mount Washington Resort, guest can call 1-800-The-Omni or visit www.omnimountwashingtonresort.com.

THE OMNI MOUNT WASHINGTON RESORT USHERS IN SKI SEASON 2010-2011 WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS FROM BASE TO PEAK

Thirty additional gladed acres, new resort renovations, special offers and a host of seasonal activities forecast a fantastic ski season at award-winning resort.

BRETTON WOODS, N.H. – The Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, is kicking off ski season 2010-2011 with new developments on the slopes, new renovations at the resort, special savings and a host of seasonal activities across every elevation. Located in New Hampshire’s largest ski area – including the east’s highest peak – the Omni Mount Washington Resort will be warming the hearts of winter adventurers and family travelers alike.

New Gladed Acres: Skiers and snowboarders will be delighted to find the Bretton Woods ski area is bigger and better than ever with the recent addition of 30 gladed acres on Mt. Stickney. The first development in a long-awaited expansion of Mt. Stickney, the new glades offer a classic New England “back-country experience,” with a long traverse off the “Two Miles Home” ski trail. The glades access a variety of terrain riddled with secret powder stashes, sharp tree chutes and the classic manicured glade skiing for which Bretton Woods has long been renowned. With the 30 additional acres, the Bretton Woods ski area now adds up to 464 skiable acres, with 102 trails and glades dressed with 200+ inches of annual snowfall on average.

A Wealth of Winter Activities: Travelers can look forward to numerous winter activities in the snow-covered expanse surrounding the Omni Mount Washington Resort. Try skiing and snowshoeing over 100 kilometers of trails amid three distinct, interconnected trail systems, with rentals available at the Bretton Woods Nordic Center. The enormously popular Bretton Woods Canopy Tour runs year-round, with ten zip lines soaring through the trees and a descent of more than 1,100 feet of elevation. Resort and public guests alike can take advantage of the attractive “Zip and Ski” ticket which includes a full day of Bretton Woods skiing and a Canopy Tour pass from just $129. New this year are the “Ski & Spa” offer for $129 including a half day ski ticket and 50-minute spa treatment, and the “Zip & Spa” including a Canopy Tour and 50-minute spa treatment for $140.

The faint and not-so-faint of heart can sample everything from ice skating onsite; ice climbing with experienced guides from the International Mountain Climbing School; snow tubing over hills of packed powder; dog sledding through the wilderness; sleigh and carriage rides and more.

New Resort Renovations: Whatever their experience on the mountains, guests will find a warm welcome at the historic property that is heading into winter fresh from the latest phase of a comprehensive, $60 million expansion and renovation. All guest rooms, suites and corridors of the Omni Mount Washington Hotel have been spruced up with new color schemes, wall coverings and artwork. Several casual dining venues have been re-conceived, including The Cave –an original Prohibition Era speakeasy, now dressed up in a classic English style – and Stickneys, a newly designed pub-style steakhouse appealing to the American sportsman in all of us. Family-style diners will enjoy Fabyan’s Station set in a former train station arrayed with vintage railroad art and faux-train track flooring. The 1,400 square-foot Family Suite was also added, complete with a living room, fireplace and two separate children’s rooms.

The resort’s reputation as a cold weather hotspot is well-established, with recognition including placement among the “Top 50 Ski Hotels” for the Omni Mount Washington Hotel from Condé Nast Traveler (‘04, ’05, ’07, ’09); one of the “Top 5 in the East” for weather, grooming, snow, service, scenery and family programs from SKI Magazine (’06-’09); and an Editor’s Choice for the “Best Zipline Experience” for the Bretton Woods Canopy Tour from Yankee Magazine in 2010.

Enjoy a winter getaway and minimum $136 nightly savings with the Stay Here, Ski Free Package at the Omni Mount Washington Resort. Package includes: Luxury resort accommodations and two ski lift tickets at the famed Bretton Woods ski area. Rates start from $199 per night based on double occupancy through April 15, 2011. Meal plans may also be added, and additional lift tickets are available upon arrival at the resort guest discount price.

If you are curious, CNL has issued a clarification regarding their recent "Mount Washington" trademark application. http://ht.ly/3brYb

CNL LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES TO FOCUS TRADEMARK APPLICATION ON CORE LODGING BUSINESS

(ORLANDO, Fla.) Nov. 16, 2010 — CNL Lifestyle Properties will strengthen and clarify the language used in its trademark application for “Mount Washington” so it applies exclusively to the core lodging businesses the Mount Washington resort is engaged in.

“As we have been saying, our only motivation in filing a trademark application is to protect the historic brand and name of the Mount Washington resort as it relates to its core lodging business,” said Stephen K. Rice, senior vice president and managing director, CNL Lifestyle Company, LLC. “We will revise our trademark application accordingly. Once revised, it will read that the trademark is being sought for ‘temporary resort lodging accommodation services, namely, hotel, lodge, and inn.”

The trademark will remain with the Mount Washington resort, ensuring that the iconic property and its internationally recognized brand remain strong and continue to be a driving force in the North Country’s economy for generations to come.

November 12, 2010 Letter to the Editor in Response to Ed Butler’s Nov. 11 letter to the Editor in the Conway Daily Sun.

To the Editor—

I’m writing to clarify the issues Rep. Ed Butler raised in his November 11 letter-to-the-editor.

First, as former resident of New Hampshire, including ten years living with my family in North Conway, I have an abiding appreciation for Mount Washington, and the people of the White Mountain region. I spent my “work-life” portion of those years with the Appalachian Mountain Club, Cranmore Mountain, and later, as Commissioner of the Department of Resources and Economic Development. I know how important the tourism and hospitality industry is to New Hampshire.

CNL Lifestyle Properties has made major capital investments in the historic Mount Washington resort since purchasing it in 2006. The object of those investments was to enhance the resort’s reputation as an iconic, resort hotel of national and international prominence. Our intention is to protect the Mount Washington resort brand to ensure this incomparable New Hampshire asset continues to be a unique destination, drawing visitors from around the world to northern New Hampshire. The resort is a vibrant part of the local economy and serves as employer of hundreds of local citizens. A strong brand is important to maintaining that vitality. We want the unique Mount Washington resort hotel identity, which has already been promoted for more than a century to endure, no matter who owns the resort, for the next 100 years and beyond.

The Mount Washington resort has filed a trademark application with the federal government to protect the use of that term in certain very specific ways related to the resort’s core lodging business. The Mount Washington resort at Bretton Woods has been using “Mount Washington” as one of its brand names for more than a century, and under well-established legal precedents, that means the resort already owns that trademark for its resort services. However, CNL has no intention of preventing local businesses from using the term “Mount Washington” as part of their name, so long as it’s done in a way that prevents a likelihood of confusion about the relationship between that business and the Mount Washington resort.

Under federal law, however, if the resort fails to take appropriate steps to safeguard its trademark, even locally, then it could become more difficult to protect the Mount
Washington trademark from businesses using a similar name elsewhere. That includes businesses using a similar name in other parts of New Hampshire, other parts of New England, and potentially other parts of the country. “Trading on” the Mount Washington name would not only harm our resort, but also the local community

For example, the resort’s historic Donald Ross golf course is called the Mount Washington Course. If someone built another golf course in the area and called it The Mount Washington Golf Course, I don’t think anyone would be surprised that we would object to that name. That’s essentially what this trademark issue is about.

For the vast majority of local businesses, there is no conflict. In fact, there are just three businesses using the term “Mount Washington” at issue because they use “Mount Washington” in connection with providing lodging facilities, which is the core of the Mount Washington resort’s business. Three lodging properties---not scores of businesses as Rep. Butler alleges. It is our desire and intent to resolve those differences as amicably as possible. The name of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce and numerous other local businesses and organizations that use “Mount Washington” are not at issue and pose no conflict.

As someone who has hiked, skied, and traveled among the mountains of New Hampshire for many years, I feel a personal attachment to the Mount Washington resort and its backdrop, the Presidential Range—as do many residents and visitors alike. Our trademark protection efforts reflect a desire to ensure the resort remains a strong, vibrant property for many, many decades to come.

Jason Parajeckas Wins New England Open Championship at the Omni Mount Washington Resort

NEW ENGLAND PGA PRESS RELEASE
Contact: Nathan Robbins
Phone: 508-869-0000
E-Mail: nrobbins@pgahq.com

Jason Parajeckas Wins New England Open Championship at the Omni Mount Washington Resort

~~For Immediate Release~~
September 16, 2010

Bretton Woods, NH. – Paul Parajeckas, PGA, has been one of the most consistently excellent players in the New England section of the PGA for more than three decades. On this cool, crisp and, most importantly, clear fall day, his son Jason proved that the apple does not fall far from the tree.

The younger Parajeckas fashioned an 8-under par 64 to come from four shots off the lead to win by one, over 36-hole leader Ron Philo Jr., PGA (Stowe Mountain Club).

Jason, who works as an assistant professional under his father at Pleasant Valley CC (Sutton, MA) was even par for his round, as he stepped to the tee on the par five sixth hole. A monstrous drive and a pitching wedge to a foot, was the beginning of a 10-hole stretch he played in eight under par. The streak included four consecutive birdies on holes 10 - 13.

Philo kept it interesting to the end, narrowly missing a birdie attempt on 18, which would have tied him for the lead. Finishing four off the pace was a trio of Scotts; Scott Spence, PGA (Middletown, RI), Scott Berliner (Albany, NY) and Scott Hawley (Shrewsbury, MA)

CLICK HERE for final scores.

Parajeckas was humbled by the win, his first major victory in New England. The recent University of Connecticut golf team member is finishing his third season as a professional and is looking forward to a second attempt at PGA TOUR qualifying school this fall.

“My father didn’t even pay my entry fee this time, so I get to keep the whole thing!” said Parajeckas, not long after Philo’s bid to tie slid by the cup. He was then congratulated by many fellow professionals, not to mention a big bear hug from a very proud father.

One of the other winners this week was the newly redesigned Mount Washington course at the Omni Mount Washington Resort. Brian Silva, working off plans drawn up by Donald Ross, has created a true gem on the Mount Washington valley floor. Despite some challenging weather the first two days, every competitor came away impressed with the quality of the layout and the conditions.

A big reason for the success of the event was Golf Course Superintendent Dave Ousterhaut and his crew. The course was in great condition leading into the event and, through much hard work on their part, the course proved its mettle.

The New England Open Championship will return to the Omni Mount Washington Resort on September 12 – 15, 2011.

The Omni Mount Washington Resort is an all-season resort destination in New Hampshire located at the base of Mount Washington and surrounded by the White Mountain National Forest.

The new Bretton Woods Canopy Tour was also added to the resort’s list of amenities, which includes top-rated Alpine and Nordic skiing, 27 holes of championship golf and a full slate of additional seasonal activities.

3/13/2010: Bretton Woods Nordic Marathon
Olympians Victorious at the New England Ski Museum’s Bretton Woods Nordic Marathon

Bretton Woods, N.H. (March 13, 2010) - Olympians towered over their respective fields at the New England Ski Museum’s Bretton Woods Nordic Marathon at Omni Mount Washington Resort presented by CNL Lifestyle Properties, LLC, which took place on Saturday, March 13. Crossing the finish line of the 50-kilometer race only minutes after many of the racers passed the race’s half-way mark was 2006- Olympian-turned-educator Justin Freeman (New Hampton, N.H.) with a crushing time of 2 hours, 21 minutes and 18 seconds (2:21:18.8); the women’s 50-K race was won by 3-time Olympian (1988, 1992, 1994) Dorcas Denhartog-Wonsavage who finished in 3:02:52. In the 25-K race the UVM Catamounts dominated, with UVM racer Fritz Horst (Bennington, Vt.) taking first in the men’s race with a time of 1:13:22, Catamount racer, Mary Stewart (Ripton, Vt.) took first in the women’s race in a time of 1:24:43.

Rounding out the top three for the 50-K men’s race were Tim Whiton (Portland, Maine), a coach at Bowdoin College and Phil Lawson (Bethlehem, N.H.) Following Wonsavage in the women’s 50-K were Alison Crocker (Amherst, Mass.) and Joann Hanowski (Underhill Center, Vt.) Placing second and third in the Men’s 25-K race were St. Lawrence University racer Adam Terko (Shelburne, Vt.) and Charlie Gunn (Henniker, N.H.) who was that event’s first Master racer. Janey McClelland (Keene Valley, N.Y.) another UVM racer was second in the women’s 25-K race; she was followed by third place finisher, St. Lawrence University skier Leah Hart (Meredith, N.H.)

The New England Ski Museum conducts the Bretton Woods Nordic Marathon as a fund-raising event, and the event appeals to a wide variety of Nordic skiers, including serious Masters-age racers, a smattering of collegiate racers and a growing number of more casual citizen racers and recreational skiers. This year a total of 182 people signed up to compete or participate in either the 25-K or 50-K distance. There was an option to be a part of the event on an untimed basis, and a growing number of skiers elect to ski in that category and enjoy the challenge while socializing with friends.

The event enjoyed outstanding support by local, regional and national sponsors including Omni Mount Washington Resort, CNL Lifestyle Properties, SWIX, Northeast Delta Dental, Coca Cola/Powerade, World Cup Supply, Darn Tough and Chutter’s. Complete results for the event are posted on the website: www.brettonwoods.com, (follow links to Nordic skiing and racing.)

The New England Ski Museum is currently exhibiting artifacts from Nordic skiing’s origins in the mountains of Asia and displays that depict the sport’s development in the U.S. More information on the event and the New England Ski Museum, including membership applications and a link to the museum’s online store, is available at www.skimuseum.org.

PR: Bretton Woods Nordic Center Hosts 15-km Geschmossel Classic Nordic Ski Race

January 18, 2010 – On Monday, January 18, Bretton Woods Nordic Center, part of Omni Mount Washington Resort, hosted the annual Geschmossel 15- kilometer classical cross-country race. The race followed a course along the rolling terrain of the Bretton Woods Nordic Center in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. The race followed a classical ski format, with no skating allowed.

Originally staged during the winter of 1972-73, the Geschmossel is one of New England’s oldest citizens’ races. The race originated as a 6-kilometer fun race and grew to attract high-level skiers, including members of the United States Ski Team. The original race course at Bretton Woods was groomed using a homemade track sled that was pulled by a rope fastened to a grooming machine. This year’s Geschmossel provided skiers with a double-tracked surface set by a state-of-the-art Pisten Bulley grooming machine. Today’s Bretton Woods trails are also considerably wider and smoother than those of the early 1970s. Now that The Mount Washington Hotel is open year-round, the mass start can easily be viewed from The Mount Washington Hotel’s Conservatory, or outside from the Hotel’s fabled Veranda.

There were 94 participants in this year’s Geschmossel, and awards were presented to the top three finishers in men’s and women’s categories and the winners of separate age groups. Overall, Tucker Murphy of Stowe, VT, finished in first place with a time of 53:26; Phil Lawson of Bethlehem, NH, came just behind in second place at 53:28 overall, and took first place in the Grand Master Men category; and Chris Nice of Hanover, NH, finished third overall with a time of 56:04. For the women, Kelsey Allen of Franconia, NH, was the first to finish with a time of 1:00:03. Ruth Hall of Cumberland Center, ME, came in second in the Women’s division at 1:04:47, and placed first in the Grand Master Women category; and Cheryl Carlson of Lebanon, NH, came third in the Women’s results with a time of 1:05:47. First place finishers for the Great Grand Master category were Doug Armstrong of North Conway, NH, with a time of 57:16 for the men, and Sally Swenson of North Conway, with a time of 1:16:28 for the women.
