Winter refuses to let up in Franconia!

Although Spring has arrived winter refuses to release her grip on Franconia Notch State Park and NH's White Mountains!! Temperatures in the mountains during these first few days of spring have yet to reach the point where they create the warmth needed to spurs New Hampshire's Maple Sugar & Corn Snow into form. Instead we are expecting more snow this eve and into tomorrow so if spring powder is your fancy... well sounds like we got it. Those who are in the know realize it doesn't last but more than a day after the storm so you can't wait. Get on it!

If Spring Corn and Sugar on Snow is your fancy we are sure to have several weeks of what folks love most about spring in NH's White Mountains. Long, bright, warm-n-sunny days loaded with fine corn snow, maple sugar and the best part... no crowds! Enjoy true peace-n-quiet while you experience our changing seasons.

Current & emerging conditions: Sunday- March 16, 2007
Spring Skiing and late season Snowmobile Conditions are setting up very nicely folks. There is at least a 2+' foot snow pack in the upper elevations outside of Franconia town center and it is dense. Having already experienced 2 warming trends "the fluff is gone", yet what we have now is perfect spring sugar and corn snow, sandwiched between moments of fresh powder as storms do frequent still happen. This time of year the powder doesn't last yet it's still a blast. So is the fact that we also get the enjoyment of long & bright sunny days on the slopes, trails and White Mountain summits beyond.

Late Winter- early Spring trail hiking conditions for hikers and forest trekkers are also in fine shape however icy conditions should be expected, as should be quite variable weather conditions with wide variations in temperates from day to night. Upper elevations and above tree line areas should be avoided unless properly prepared to deal with severe winter conditions still. Safety First.
