Andover, MA? Andover, NH?

What do you like to ski? Where have you been that you like to give us reference? Travel limits? I ask because some would think that "Le Massif" in Quebec City is close while others think that the ski hill five miles away is "close."

There's an Andover in Maine, too... not far from Sunday River.

Need more specifics!

Hot idea!! Save money and time. Ski Bradford. It's 15 minutes away from you! Skied there several times when my kidz were 4 & 5 yo.

On the North Peak Triple...
My recommendations would be (assumming Andover, MA and you're doing a daytrip):
  • Waterville (already mentioned)
  • Sunapee (those who know me are probably asking why this wasn't listed first)
  • Ragged (not in great shape, but it won't be crowded)
  • Crotched (smaller, not crowded, but great conditions)
  • Loon and/or Cannon (a haul and Loon is always crowded)
