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.
