3 Kid Friendly Ski Resorts in North Conway

1/9/2020

Kid Friendly Ski Resorts in North Conway, NH

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!

Kid Friendly Ski Resorts in North Conway, NH

Here's my take on the best family-friendly ski resorts in North Conway, NH.

I'm a local and have skied all the local mountains for years.

Check out this video for some tips about which North Conway ski resort would work out best for your family vacation.

I have lived and skied in in North Conway, NH for most of my life. When I started skiing here I was a beginner skier and with lots of great lessons and help from talented instructors I progressed in my skills enough that I became an instructor with the Eastern Slopes Ski Club (ESSC) Homeschool Ski Program!

During my journey I skied and took lessons at every mountain within 30 minutes of North Conway including; Cranmore Mountain, Attitash Mountain, King Pine, Black Mountain, Wildcat, Bretton Woods and even a private lesson at Tuckerman Ravine.

Although they all have their strong points I always refer my guests at Four Seasons Lodge to my favorite three kid friendly ski resorts:

Cranmore Mountain Resort
King Pine Ski Area
Attitash Mountain Resort

I love all 3 for completely different reasons and hope you will enjoy them too!

North Conway, NH during Fall Foliage

North Conway, NH has the BEST Fall Foliage in the Country!

Where is the BEST fall foliage in the country? North Conway, NH of course! Plus, peak fall foliage is around mid-October - much later than when I was a kid!

OK, that's my not so humble opinion but, North Conway, NH DOES have amazing fall foliage. The fall foliage photos in the picture above were all taken in North Conway, NH by me (except the aerial train photo) in 2018.

I am a fall foliage junkie and am the lucky cowgirl that lives in North Conway, NH. I love to go horseback riding on the snowmobile trails to get photos that folks normally don't get to see.

The Kancamagus Highway, Mt Washington Hotel, and the White Mountain Trail are highlights of any fall foliage tour to North Conway, NH. Every year, I host groups of guests at Four Seasons Lodge that come to North Conway, NH to enjoy the foliage and all three photo op spots are minutes from the lodge.

There are spots to view fall foliage that you can get 360 degree views within a few minute's drive of Four Seasons Lodge in North Conway, NH or you can make a day of it and enjoy driving the "White Mountain Trail".

How an Amazing Vacation Will Boost Your Productivity at Work

A Fantastic Vacation = Increased Productivity at Work!

Did you know that a healthy vacation when you plan active and relaxing activities will result in increased creativity, experiencing new activities, reduce stress, and recharge your internal batteries.

I did a lot of research for this blog and the word that kept popping up was creativity. Most research articles report that time away from work boosts creativity which leads to increased productivity at work.

It all makes sense. If you don't take a break from the task or project you are working on to problem solve, your brain gets no break from the path it's on.

If you change up things and take a vacation with your family or friends, you'll boost your creativity. When you are exposed to new and different things or maybe try something that's out of your wheelhouse will also boost your creativity. Vacations are a great time to do just that - most people try a new activity or explore a new place on vacation. A creativity win!

Thinking of heading to North Conway, NH and need a summer fun list of things to do? There are lots of indoor and outdoor things to do in North Conway, NH that will make everyone smile (even cousin Richard). Get your pencil and start taking notes. My top picks include; Saco River Tubing for all ages, hikes for tykes in North Conway, Diana's Baths in summer, relaxing on the Conway Scenic Railroad, enjoying the White Mountain National Forest, and Story Land for folks on a budget.

Remember folks, North Conway, NH is a tourist town so you can bet that there will be things to do that will slap a smile on everyone's face!

I took a chance naming my lodge "Four Seasons Lodge" because 28 years ago, we were essentially a one horse town. Skiing was what we were known for and Settlers Green and North Conway outlets were Johnny Come Lately's!

Over the years, folks have become way more outdoorsy, (even though gaming seems to be the #1 sport among teens) and hiking, ice climbing, dog sled races, snowmobiling and more have become a thing.

Combine those sports with all the new and super fun White Mountain Attractions, and you'll need two pages for your list!

So, let's start.

Saco River Tubing is Fun for Kids of All Ages!

Saco River tubing with kids in summer is an amazing experience for everyone! There are lots of places but we know the best places to tube on the Saco River.
