3 Perfect Days Vacationing in North Conway!

East coast skiers are a tough bunch - even the kids! I hear all my west coast friends serenading “powder days” and even the occasional comment that they don’t ski unless there’s at least a foot of powder!
No matter what the North Conway weather is, you will see the chair lifts packed with us die-hards making our way to the top for just “one more run”!
Freezing temperatures, blowing snow or icy conditions will still bring out most everyone for a great day on the hill!
BUT... if my kids were going to ski on sub-perfect snow condition days, I'd want to make sure they would be safe. Skiing lessons are a great value when you think about the risks associated with your child making their way down a mountain without the knowledge of how to do so safely!

Snowcoach Popularity Crushes North Conway Outlet Stores
You've decided to go on vacation in North Conway. It's winter. You don't ski. Hmmm... in the past you would have spent all your free time at the outlet mall in North Conway.
Today's vacationers have a much more exciting and cheaper thing to do in North Conway, NH!
The Snowcoach at Great Glen Trails has fast become "the" thing to do. In fact, if your heart was set on a sunrise coach ride, forget it. They are sold out ALREADY for the season!
You're probably traveling with several families if you're vacationing at Four Seasons Lodge. A snowcoach ride will provide you some serious bonding time as your coach careens down the snow packed Mt Washington Auto Road with everyone screaming wildly - ONLY KIDDING!
The ride up and back is very gentle and the snowcoaches are operated by well trained and very knowledgable drivers! Pick their brains about the snowcoach and Mt Washington. You'll see wildlife, bond with family members you didn't even think you liked, and get great pics you can post and brag about on social media!

Waterfalls, North Conway & the Mount Washington Valley...
Just seeing falling water is never enough… admit it folks, you want to play in it!
If you're vacationing at Four Seasons Lodge - our New Hampshire lodge, you are minutes away from the nicest falls around!
The Mt. Washington Valley (MWV) is located in the White Mountains, a unique and very special place. We are we lucky enough to have been carved out by glaciers long ago. The movement of that giant ice along our land scraped away lots of areas where water flows and now because of the glaciers, drops off the earth as waterfalls.
Yankee Magazine refers to MWV as “the ultimate rock concert” and understandably so! Living here we love to hate our granite when it percolates out of the ground and into our lawns and pastures but when it comes to waterfalls, they wouldn’t exist without it. So, pack a lunch, grab a map, don’t forget the water and head out for a day of adventure and fun!
My husband Russ and I are locals and explorers at heart. We don’t care if we’re on foot, bike or horseback. We have walked and ridden all over the Mt. Washington Valley and we’d like to tell you about our favorite places with falling water.
