8″ to 18″ of snowfall in past week in Mt Washington Valley, NH

February 4, 2021

Greetings from snowy Mt Washington Valley, NH,

We netted anywhere from 8” to 18” over the past week of snowfall in Mt Washington Valley, NH. Thanks to the groundhog (at least in our region) for another six weeks of winter. We’re poised for a fabulous February of skiing and riding with primo conditions throughout the 13 ski resorts and XC Centers in Mt Washington Valley. With more snowfall predicted in the coming week, this will be the time to plan some vacation time and get outside on the trails. The new snowfall means ropes are dropping and open terrain is expanding, especially in the gladed areas. Backcountry skiers, snowmobilers and those who love tubing and fatbiking will find beautiful conditions too. See you soon in Mt Washington Valley, NH!
