Skiing

Jackson and the classic White Mountain villages of Bartlett, Glen and Intervale have been a favorite destination for winter visitors for nearly 100 years. One of the nation's first ski tows was developed on Black Mountain in Jackson, then known as Whitney's Hill, using shovel handles purchased from Sears & Roebuck. Traditionally, winter arrives in this area around the first of November and often stays through March and sometimes into May in the higher elevations.

Here are some of the ways to see the trails that you may have traveled during a summer visit . . .

cross country skis, downhill skis, telemark skis, snowboards, snowshoes, snowtube, kick-sled, horse-drawn sleigh, ice skates, and even travel above tree-line on Mt. Washington in a van with an option to ski down!
