BRETTON WOODS, New Hampshire — As of Wednesday afternoon, Bretton Woods, part of Mountain Washington Resort, has fired up its snowmaking guns and is busy laying down a good base for the approaching ski season. There is already over a foot of snow at the Top o’Quad Restaurant, according to Chris Ellms, Director of Ski Operations for the Resort.

“We plan to get folks out on the snow just as soon as we can. From here on in, we’ll be making snow at every opportunity and plan to open as soon as possible,” says Ellms. “If the cold weather cooperates, and especially if Mother Nature blesses us with a couple of inches of new snow, we will be able to open as early as November 8th — possibly even sooner!”

Bretton Woods, NH’s largest ski area, has a base elevation of 1,600 feet, and that typically translates into cooler temperatures, and traditionally allows for aggressive snowmaking and plentiful natural snowfall.
