Pats Peak - Pats Peak Ski Area - Henniker, NH —

"Gnarly little knob", I thought on the first lift to the summit. Admittedly, I came because of a free pass, but I left feeling ... gratified. Decent skiing, good food and roughly a 1 hour drive.

The problem with Big Mountain skiing is driving time and "skiing time", but PATS PEAK short steep is perfect for fifty-something legs to get up and down all night long. There are also carpet-lift beginner areas and cruiser trails down from the summit on both the far left and far right, but I came for the "Double Black Diamond" center cuts and tree glades which are perfect this season. Not a bit of ice, excellent lighting and hardly any skiers on a weekday night within 90 minutes of Boston.

Spring Update:Pats Peak closes next Sunday, the end of March, but still offered up good Spring conditions yesterday with discounted tickets.

Comments about madgolfer’s Review

I went skiing with my youth group when I was in 7th grade. I fell down a slope, got separated from my group for about 3 hours and vowed I would never go skiing again and I haven't. I still go to the resorts, love Ski Ober Gatlinburg but now I ice-skate while the others ski ;+)
