Bradford Ski Area

Bradford Ski Area is a small, family-run ski slope in Haverhill, Massachusetts, with a distinct local touch. The facility has been around for several decades and serves primarily as a nearby slope for night skiing, training and introduction to alpine skiing.

The slope is compact with short slopes and easy lifts, which makes it easy to get many runs in a short time. Snowmaking and lighting enable skiing even on weekday evenings, and the area is often used by schools, ski clubs and beginners who want to build basic technology.

Bradford lacks large systems and long runs, but fulfills an important role as an accessible ski slope close to the city and residential areas – a typical example of a classic American "community ski hill" with a focus on everyday skiing rather than destination tourism.
