Snow comes early and stays late in northern New Hampshire’s Androscoggin Valley, which allows snow-enthusiasts to make the most of their favorite winter activities. Hit the slopes to ski or snowboard, head out for one last snowmobile ride, pedal along on your fat bike or book a spot on the Mt. Washington SnowCoach before it closes in March.
The warm days and cooler nights also signal one of spring’s sweetest pleasures, as maple sugaring gets underway in sugarhouses all across the region. Sugar on snow followed by a sour pickle is a highlight of this season of new beginnings.
Androscoggin Valley has a variety of downhill skiing and Nordic skiing options, with trails staying open through spring, weather dependent. Enjoy a bluebird day on the slopes before the snow melts.
Snowmobile trails stay open through early April if weather allows. As the weather begins to warm and the days get longer, this is a great time to go for a ride. Please refer to local snowmobile clubs and the NH Bureau of Trails for condition updates.
From mid-March to early April, the sap rises in the maple trees and smoke wafts from the sugar houses as boiling gets underway. Pay a visit and sample some of that sweet goodness. We guarantee you’ll be back for more.
Tune up your rigs and head out on Memorial Day Weekend as 1,000+ miles of interconnected trail reopen across northern New Hampshire. Please check trail conditions before heading out.
Spring peepers and their unmistakable song are a harbinger of the season. These small frogs live near wetlands and in early spring they set up a mighty nighttime chorus of song that some have described as sounding like sleigh bells.
Late April marks the beginning of the year for anglers as fishing season opens. Drop a line in the Androscoggin River and angle for some brook, brown or rainbow trout, salmon, and small mouth bass.
