Mount Washington

You don't need to be a ski-bum to get maximum satisfaction from this place. There is plenty to do without buying a lift ticket. Mount Washington is an ideal spot to rent a cabin for the family or split on a spacious lodge with a group of friends. It's a great feeling to step out your front door, strap on your snowboard, and already be on the mountain. Beyond skiing and snowboarding, there's snowshoeing, fat-biking, and hiking on nearly as many trails as there is downhill ski runs. At night, hit the Alpine Lodge for karaoke with a live band backing you up.
