Editor’s Note: The Mountain Coaster no longer runs during the wintertime. However, it still operates during the summer months.
Everyone knows that skiing in the east gives the west a run for its money. While we might be biased, it’s New Hampshire skiing that offers the most fun in this region of the country. But, what’s more unique and fun than skiing? Racing down a hill in a winter coaster, of course! Check this out if you’re looking for a fun new way to enjoy the outdoors this winter in the Granite State.
While there are plenty of winter action resorts to explore in New Hampshire, we love Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford.

The coaster goes downhill, heading around exhilarating turns and banked corners, as well as fun drops and even some 360° turns.

The 4,100-foot long track takes riders through the forest for about 6 minutes before coming to a stop.
ancer14 Gula / YouTube Riders have their own brake system to make sure they’re moving at a speed that’s comfortable for them. The maximum speed is 25 m.p.h., meaning that those with an adventurous streak will have plenty to talk about when they get home!
