Crotched Mountain

Located in southern New Hampshire, Crotched Mountain is a compact ski resort that has become known for efficient skiing rather than size. With a relatively small ski area and a clear slope line, the focus here is on short, intense runs and high turnover in the lifts.

The resort is dominated by intermediate terrain (equivalent to blue slopes), supplemented by several steeper expert slopes that provide good variation for those who appreciate technical skiing in a smaller format. The terrain is open and easy to understand, which makes it easy to alternate many runs in one day.

Crotched Mountain is especially known for its night and night skiing, which are among the more extensive in the region. This makes the ski resort popular with local skiers who want to get in a lot of runs after work rather than planning a longer ski trip. The combination of fast lifts, clear piste profile and generous opening hours gives Crotched Mountain a clear identity as an efficient everyday facility for alpine skiers.
