skis...don't have any skis? not to worry there are plenty of rental

Explore Ski NH... it is a jam packed website full of ski and snow boarding information.
While my children were growing we spent many weekends skiing in New Hampshire and Maine.
Ski clubs, ski lessons, ski meets and races...It was a great family
activity, one that involved the whole family. Nothing better than being
on white powder on top of a mountain on a bright sunny day...ahhh perfection! So whether your an expert skier or just beginning you'll be delighted by our ski areas.
Personally I can tell you..I am!

For your learning pleasure...Some Snow Surface Terminology
I'm sure there are more but these are the most common;
Packed Powder - very dry natural or man-made compacted snow...fun to ski on.
Packed Snow - packed surface of natural or man-made snow...nice-nice stuff.
Groomed Snow - machine groomed...not bad at all :)
Groomed Granular - old snow base that has been machine-groomed to provide loose granular surface...nice.
Loose Granular - old base that is loose...not bad at all.
Frozen Granular - hard-surfaced granular base that has been frozen after thaw..."Opps" type of skiing for me.
Wet Granular - loose or frozen granular snow that has been subjected to warm temperatures...mushy stuff.
Spring Skiing
- my favorite...old base that has been thawed and re-frozen by cold
nights and warm days so that the surface becomes heavy...I like this
stuff because it keeps me slow. I'm not a speed freak!
