Name of XC Area: Bretton Woods Times that I have skied there: A few times I last skied there in: Nov, 2002 Trails that I skied: Only half My favorite trails: Water Bucket, Mt Road, Sebosis, Dark Forest, Boulder Spring Trail marking: Very good Trail grooming: Very good Rating: 5 stars What I liked: Forest trails are wide enough to get sun but protected enough to block the wind and make a cold day feel warm What I disliked: Youll freeze hard crossing the golf course when the wind is up, but once you get in the woods it makes it worthwhile Comments: Stay on property and you can ski to breakfast at the Bretton Arms or over to Alpine @ Bretton Woods Submitted by: Glen from: Ft Myers, Florida Date submitted: Feb 4, 2003

Name of XC Area: Bretton Woods Times that I have skied there: Several times I last skied there in: Feb, 2002 Trails that I skied: Many, but not all My favorite trails: Dark Forest, Sebosis, Coronary Hills Trail marking: Very good Trail grooming: Very good Rating: 4.5 stars What I liked: Some of the best groomed trails anywhere. Plenty of variety offered for all skill levels, much more than you can ski in one day (or even in two). Area is nicely wooded and not at all built up. On a clear day, the scenery is awesome. What I disliked: Parking and buying passes can be somewhat irritating, since the touring center is never in the same place two years in a row. (BW is located at the Mount Washington Hotel, which has been in a constant state of renovation since they built the thing.) Also, in order to get to the main trail system, you have to ski about half a mile or so across a flat, windy golf course, which can become a pain on cold days. Comments: I've never seen Bretton Woods badly overcrowded. If getting in and out is not a problem, this is a great take. Submitted by: M.A.L.C. from: Beverly, MA Date submitted: Jan 6, 2003
