Every single season in New Hampshire is somehow even better than the last. Summer is green and warm and when fall rolls around we’re sad to see it go. But inevitably the changing leaves and chill in the air becomes exactly what we need. It’s hard to see fall go until the first snow reminds us just how great this state is in the winter. And, of course, spring is a welcome arrival after too much cold. If you’re one of the people who have a preference for winter, we have a great idea to make you come around to fall. Consider visiting this ski resort, which offers some serious beauty before a single ski can be strapped on for the winter!
