Mount Sunapee Ski Resort in Newbury NH is accessible, being just about the closest ski area of its size and scope to Boston MA (102 miles/164 km northwest, 2 hours) and Hartford CT (146 miles/235 km north, 1-3/4 hours)(map). It's of moderate size, with 65 trails (17 novice, 32 intermediate, 16 expert) down a vertical drop of 1510 feet (460 meters), served by 10 lifts including three quads (one high-speed). The South Peak learners area is a spacious area separate from the main slope, which saves beginners, both skiers and snowboard riders, from being endangered by faster skiers racing by—or into—them. Snowmaking is important here, with 80% of the resort's trails within range of the snow guns. Snowboarders get three terrain parks, a freeride zone, half-pipe, race arena, and a protected area for learners. Plenty of ski lessons and classes, kids' programs and child care (1 to 5 years), and equipment rentals. Lodgings are in nearby towns. Mount Sunapee
