Want to get some skiing in without scratching up your bases on rocks? Join us for a Sunday trip to Pat's Peak.
This is a great trip for if you are looking to try skinning and using backcountry gear for the first time, or if you are a veteran backcountry skier and want to get in some laps!
Pat's Peak is a small New Hampshire ski area that allows skiing for free if you don't ride the lifts. We will skin up, ski down, and enjoy the comforts of the lodge at lunch time.
The uphill skin track is comparable to a moderate to strenuous hike, with skis on your feet. The downhill is more straightforward than backcountry terrain as we will be on wide, groomed runs.
