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.
