For a special downhill destination, The Hotel Mount Washington is a grand and gorgeous century-old palace with a palatial Presidential spa. Stay and ski for a weekend or an entire ski week on an all inclusive European plan package at the historic 4 star hotel, with skiing at Bretton Woods – NH’s largest ski area.

Bode Miller served as Director of Skiing for Bretton Woods Ski Resort when he won all those World Cup ski races. While nothing at Bretton Woods is super challenging or steep, there are great long runs and even some beautiful birch lined glades. Backcountry tours are offered with a guide if you wish to get off-piste.  If you prefer cross country touring, the largest Nordic Center in NH is here at Bretton Woods. Other winter activities include the longest zip line canopy tour in the contiguous US, a sure thrill. For more romantic winter activities, take a horse drawn sleigh ride or dog sled around the ski hotel. Take the kids ice skating or sledding. You can even take a ride on the Cog Railway up Mount Washington, but you can’t ski down – for that you have hike up Tuckerman’s Ravine, or take a snow coach from Great Glens Touring Center.

Ski perfectly groomed runs with a view of Mount Washington by day, then retreat to your snow castle for après ski and alpine glow and cocktails in the conservatory, a spa treatment, and formal dinner and dancing in the Grand Ballroom that evening. If you still have steam, head to The Cave  for a nightcap - this is an authentic 1920's speakeasy in the cellar of the Hotel.

The property of Mount Washington Resort, owned by Omni Resorts, has development plans to add a pedestrian ski village, and build luxury ski townhouses for sale in the near future, to compliment the Hotel Mount Washington and Spa and Bretton Woods Ski Resort.
