Granite Gorge Mountain Park

Located just outside Keene in southwestern New Hampshire, Granite Gorge Mountain Park is a small, local ski area with a distinct club and training feel. The resort has emerged as a place for everyday skiing, racing and technique training rather than as a classic holiday destination.

The slopes are compact and easy to navigate, with a focus on shorter slopes that are well suited for repetitive skiing and training. Granite Gorge is particularly known in the region for its alpine junior and competition activities, and the slope is often used for training, race nights, and local competitions.

Night skiing is an important part of the offer and makes the facility popular with local skiers after school and work. With artificial snow and simple logistics, Granite Gorge serves as an efficient training mountain, where many skiers take their first steps in organized alpine skiing.

Granite Gorge is a clear example of the North American "community hill" culture – a small but committed ski resort where the focus is on the joy of skiing, development and local roots rather than size and variety.
