UPDATE 8:15am The skiing is fantastic!! Especially once you get out into the woods on trails like Thumper, Dancer, Dragon Corridor and Great Grumpy Grade. A ski or snowshoe out to Great Angel Station will be excellent today!!
A nice little dusting of snow fell here overnight! Some fine skiing and snowshoeing is waiting for you up here at Great Glen! Well set tracks and fast skate lanes on consistent loose granular snow make for fun skiing especially in this mild weather. Come and take part in all we have to offer with the Trails Total Ticket which includes an all day trail pass for skiing, tubing and snowshoeing, ski and snowshoe rentals and an unforgettable tour aboard the SnowCoach to treeline all for a low price.
SALE!! If you are considering new winter gear, the Great Glen Outfitters Shop is ready to help with great advice and 30% off everything in stock. Selection of clothing and equipment is still great, visit us and take advantage of this sale! Remember the staff at Great Glen will share their knowledge and expert advice and only put you in equipment that is right for you! We want you to love this sport and everything winter.
The best thing about a day on the trails is finishing up with a hearty lunch. Stop in at the Glen View Cafe for excellent homemade soups, made to order sandwiches and delicious baked goods!

Ski to the Clouds presented by MaxiGlide
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
back to topSki to the Clouds Event on Feb. 26th Cancelled
The Ski to the Clouds event scheduled to take place at Great Glen Trails on Feb. 26th 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.
