Nordic centers in Maine & New Hampshire?
I will be visiting both Maine & NH next week and would like to do some
skate skiing while there. Would people give be a few ideas that would be places I should consider. Of course I want places that have enough snow & good grooming/conditions.I enjoy skiing longer distances-not dinky little 2km loops or so. Mixed terrain is good. Cheap is good too and I will need reasonable places to stay in each area. Many thanks for your help. Greg |

In New Hampshire, the first place to consider is Jackson (http://www.jacksonxc.org/). They have a large, diverse, well-maintained trail system, the town of Jackson is very pleasant, and there are cheap places to stay in nearby Bartlett and North Conway. Two other very good places to ski in N.H. are Waterville Valley (very well designed trails) (http://www.waterville.com/winter/index.asp) and Bretton Woods (great scenery) (http://www.brettonwoods.com/). For N.H. cross-country conditions, see http://www.xcskinh.com/snow.cfm . I'm less familiar with Maine, but one place I've been to a couple of times that has a large, well maintained trail system (probably the largest in Maine) is Sugarloaf (http://www.sugarloaf.com/nordic_center.html).

You can stay at a B&B in Colebrook NH....call the Chamber of Commerce or check the web. |
