Ski Camps for Kids!
Join Polly the Penguin and Percy the Polar Bear for fun on snow!

Penguins and Polar Bears are pure fun on snow. Games, challenges and exploration are what these special camps are all about. Both Penguins and Polar Bears are led by the Great Glen Trails Ski School staff and the camp director is Olympian Sue Wemys

It’s a snow day for the whole family! It’s a low-key day full of fun on the snow.

Ski to the Clouds Event on Feb. 26^th Cancelled

The Ski to the Clouds event scheduled to take place at Great Glen Trails on Feb. 26^th has been cancelled due to snow conditions on the lower part of the Mt Washington Auto Road. Fortunately, a substantial base of snow on the 45k Great Glen Trails system (and the lack of a warming pavement beneath) means that cross country skiing, tubing and snowshoeing are all still in full operation.

North America’s Toughest 10K!
Race begins on the trails at Great Glen Trails and then up to the finish at treeline on the Mt. Washington Auto Road, Ski to the Clouds includes a climb of more than 2200 vertical feet over the final 6 kilometers. The race is a true freestyle event: skiers can use either skating or classic technique. Limited to 150 competitors.

In conjunction with the Appalachian Mountain Club, Great Glen Trails offers you the chance to really get to know Pinkham Notch. When you ski with a naturalist, you will learn about the flora and fauna that make our corner of the world so special. You’ll scout for tracks in the snow. You’ll learn about the different trees in the Glen. You’ll listen for distinct bird calls. You’ll truly begin understand how the ecosystem works in Pinkham Notch. Free with a trail pass.

For eight weeks, skiers of all abilities challenge themselves on the race courses with prizes awarded in age categories and through a raffle. We also offer a non-timed category for those looking for all the fun without the the racing! Nordic Meisters isn’t just about skiing as 2012 will be the third year of our snowshoe division. Some Meisters even race all three divisions!

Plus, all Nordic Meisters can ski or snowshoe FREE every Tuesday throughout the winter season—even on non-race days! An awards party and potluck dinner will be held on Friday, March 16.

Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel staff & dog teams will be attempting a historic summit of Mount Washington via the Auto Road. As a kick-off fundraiser for their new sled dog rescue, NH Sled Dog Rescue, History, and Education Center, they will be seeking sponsors for this summit attempt and auctioning off dogsled seats to two lucky participants. This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to climb to top of Mount Washington behind a team of rescue and second chance huskies that call Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel home and support a great cause. For the safety of dogs, mushers, and participants, Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel has chosen this range of dates and will select the attempt date after a careful review of weather conditions.

This event is weather dependent so we’ve set aside three days, March 7-9 with hopes for a safe ascent.

We will listen for owls calling and explore out senses as we explore the winter landscape by light of the full moon.
Time for this Moonlit Tour starts later than the previous tours.

You don’t have to be a great racer you just have to like fun!
