I have been returning to great glen trails every year — its a fantastic place for nordic skiing. Even when other locations in the area don’t have snow, thanks to its high altitude and great grooming great glen is often open with good trail conditions. I have also taken several private lessons with ski instructors and been pleased each time. Overall, a fun day for the whole family.

This is a review of the snowshoeing. It was fine, and we had free passes from our hotel, otherwise it would have been a rip-off($ 20 for the day) considering that you are literally in the middle of the white mountains where you can snowshoe all over the place for free. The tubing hill also looked really lame. I’m sure it’s great for cross-country skiing in that there were lots of groomed trails, but it should really be no more than a nominal fee if you want to snowshoe… For our second day(when we didn’t have a free pass) we went and snowshoed(sp?) in the state forest, which was lots of fun and just as convenient(assuming you have your own snowshoes!).

Cant speak for the rest of the trail park, but the snowcoach was excellent. Our driver, Ernie was knowledgeable and led us up Mt. washington to about 4,300 ft. The views were amazing and I would recommend it for anybody who has been up the auto road during the summer.

Thanks to a discount coupon from the B&B I stayed at, I was able to get free cross country skiing or snowshoeing for a day. I checked out the prices for a pass and rentals though and it wasn’t bad at all. A half day pass and rental is about 2 – 3 dollars less and that means arriving any time after noon. The trails were well maintained and the views were beautiful. I do wish the trail markings were a bit more clear, but the map they provide is pretty helpful. You couldn’t get lost if you tried, but you might not take the trail you originally intend. Great Glen Trails is a wonderful way to spend a nice and cold winter day!
