Skied 03/05 and 03/06
Resort or Ski Area:
Bretton Woods
Conditions:
Excellent - just as you expect at BW, lots of great snow, perfectly groomed all over the mountain. Tiny tiny bit of ice on "Two Miles Home"
Trip Report:
If you're looking for really challenging or taxing runs then Bretton Woods probably isn't the place to go. But for a not so good intermediate skier like me it's perfect.
Lift lines were max 5-10 minutes even at peak time on Saturday and Sunday. We headed out over to the right of the mountain to ski Oscar Baron's, Jacob's ladder and Waumbeck - much quieter over there, no lift lines. Snow was fantastic - they've had over 2 foot in the last 2 weeks.
"No regrets" was nice - seemed groomed but with a few bumpy bits of soft snow on top - really quiet not sure where everyone else was?!
One of our favorite runs was Upper Swoop to Deception Bowl (great conditions, nice run with a sneaky curve round to the left)then end of Two Miles Home back to the lift.
Tried out the newish lift over to the left to get to "Bode's run" - a little steeper than most of Bretton Woods.
Let me know if you want specific details - great weekend!

Deception Bowl is an old favorite as is Upper Swoop. Agree...there is not much for a challenge here but the scenery makes up for it. The glades are kind of a joke...
