Loon Mountain

Ranked #1 for access and in the Top Ten Best in the East in SKI Magazine’s 2010 Reader Resort Survey, Loon Mountain has invested $20 million in the past five years to add additional terrain, uphill capacity, and state-of-the-art snowmaking and grooming technology, and continues its commitment to a great guest experience today. The most recent $1.4 million investment added four new trails and 160 additional Low-E tower snow guns, some of the latest grooming technology, to this east coast skiing mecca.

Loon Mountain is New England’s most accessible mountain resort destination, offering 2,100 feet of vertical and three peaks-worth of terrain variety. This family-friendly ski mountain allows skiers to choose from gentle beginner slopes, long cruisers, steeps and tree skiing, a full progression of seven terrain parks, as well as a halfpipe and superpipe. Loon’s Snowsports School offers programs for all ages and abilities and the Adventure Center features cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, equipment rental, tours, an indoor climbing wall and a zipline.

SKI Magazine Readers Rank Loon Mountain

SKI Magazine readers rated Loon Mountain as New Hampshire’s best in 2010’s “Top 50 Resort Guide,” rounding off the top ten list at #10 overall and #1 for accessibility. The convenient location, only three miles off I-93, makes it an easy two-hour drive from Boston and a scenic 40-minute drive along the Kancamagus Highway from New Hampshire’s famed Mount Washington Valley.

“It’s just too easy to reach… They come because it’s a great family mountain, and its pluses are many. ‘Affordable,’ ‘excellent grooming,’ ‘excellent snowmaking,’ ‘excellent customer service,’ ‘insane terrain park,’ and ‘fantastic scenery,’ readers attest.”

“The confidence expressed by the readers of SKI Magazine is very rewarding and the popularity of Loon Mountain has contributed to its ranking as number one in NH,” said Loon Mountain General Manager Rick Kelley. “Being ranked as a leader in accessibility, grooming, lodging and on-mountain food is an affirmation that our goals to provide a quality experience at Loon Mountain are being recognized.”
