More Great White Mountain Snow Falls on Franconia and NH's White Mountains

January 29, 2009... Franconia, NH. The Franconia Notch and
surrounding White Mountain National Forest has just received a
fresh layer of Pow-Pow Powder folks. We received a healthy dose of 7" to 10" of well developed powder. Dense in nature, floaty in feeling and all around fine for all winter's fun. Cannon Mounatin, Bretton Woods and Loon Mountain ski areas are all sporting 100% open coverage or darn close to it. All the area's snowmobile, snow-shoe and cross-country ski trails are also loaded with the fresh white stuff and "there's plenty of room at the inn" in the White Mountains. No Crowds, especially mid-week.

With the trail conditions and snow depths as they are now, it's looking real good for the winter and early spring skiing months ahead. January is one day from over and... No Thaw. Yeah! That's worth celebrating right there, so why not make your plans to enjoy some of the best that Cannon Mountain, Franconia Notch and all the surrounding White Mountains has to offer.

The Backcountry is "Open" for those who are well equipped, prepared and knowledgeable on the skills require to enjoy the desired outing of the day. The mountains are as cold and lonely today as they where 100's of years ago once alone. Let's be sure you take home tails of adventure not toils of tragedy.

Perfect Weather Forecast for the Week Ahead in Franconia, NH!

January 24, 2009... The weather forecast as seen on Accuweather.com looks nothing shy of Perfect for winter fun in Franconia Notch State Park and the surrounding White Mountain National Forest areas. With daytime temps forecast to be in the mid 20 degree range along with mostly to partly sunny skies, it's about as good as a January winter forecast gets. We are now in the "dead of winter", yet conditions for some great outdoor living couldn't be better.

Whether its a few days of skiing either Cannon Mounatin, Bretton Woods or Loon Mountain, and why not try all three, or snowmobiling in the heart of the western White Mountains, the conditions rarely get better. Best part is, it's not busy or in anyway crowded, at all. We have one traffic light... and it flashes.

Want an entirely new and really OUTSTANDING White Mountain Experience? Feeling brave and adventurous? The Bretton Woods Canopy Tour is just the thing!! I have yet to do it myself, however I do know a few folks who have. Both are general "adventure junkies" and they where bragging of the experience like 7 year olds might. It looks awesome... and you'll get views of Mount Washington that very few people ever have. Check it out. Bretton Woods Canopy Tour

Champagne Powder falls on Franconia, NH

January 11th, 2009... Franconia Notch and the surrounding White Mountain National Forest winter playgrounds have received 6" to 8" of light, dry, "champagne" powder snow from last evening's storm. Cannon Mountain, Bretton Woods, Loon Mountain and all the surrounding cross-country trail systems will be adding open terrain through-out the week ahead in preparation for this weekend's Martin Luther King Holiday.

More Snow in Franconia

January 8th, 2009. Perhaps the tide of warmer weather in Franconia has truly turned in favor of winter. In the past 24 to 36 hrs we have received 3" to 6" inches of snow in the western White Mountains area, with a mix of sleet having occurred during the middle of the storm. We now have a wonderful base coat to support all the good freshness to come. The forecast for the next 5 out of 7 days for the Franconia area predicts snow or flurries so it's getting good.

This week's Downhill skiers & riders at Cannon Mountain, Bretton Woods or Loon can expect primarily packed powder surfaces, with loose granular secondary, while Cross-Country skiers can expect packed powder on top of a "solid base layer". With every flurry the trails just keep getting better & better. Snowmobile enthusiasts can expect to find most all trails to be open with major corridors groomed and ready to go. Snow conditions may prove thin in heavy traffic areas however. Ice Climbers and winter hiking enthusiasts will not be disappointed by either the Franconia Notch State Park or White Mountain National Forest which surround it. Lots of ice awaits, and lots of wild quiet times are to be enjoyed, but do so safely of course.
