Bretton Woods Trail Map

Bretton Woods offers a diverse terrain profile across its 464 acres, with a vertical drop of 1,500 ft and summit elevation of 3,100 ft. The resort’s 100 trails are served by 9 lifts, including the recently upgraded BEQ II high-speed quad, which improves access to upper mountain zones. The terrain is evenly distributed across skill levels, with 25% beginner, 40% intermediate, 25% advanced, and 10% expert runs. Snowmaking covers key areas, ensuring consistent conditions even during dry spells.

Beginners will find gentle slopes near the Learning Center and Rosebrook Lodge, with wide runs like Two Miles Home and Range View offering a relaxed descent. Surface lifts and slow-speed chairs make these zones ideal for first-timers and families. The base area is designed for easy access, with warming huts and rest stops positioned along beginner routes.

Intermediate skiers can explore the expansive cruisers off the Zephyr Express and Mount Rosebrook Express lifts. Trails like Sawyer’s Swoop and Avalon provide long, rolling descents with scenic views of the Presidential Range. These runs are groomed daily and offer a comfortable challenge for progressing skiers.

Advanced terrain includes steeper pitches and tighter descents off lifts like Fabyan’s Express and the new BEQ II. Upper Express and Bode’s Run deliver sustained vertical and variable snow conditions, while the recently added black diamond glade between Upper Swoop and Upper Express introduces a new wooded challenge for experienced skiers.

Expert skiers can hike into off-piste zones and explore the resort’s glades, which now number 35. The new black diamond glade features a cliff entry and smooth lower pitch, offering a technical descent without excessive hazards. These areas are best tackled after fresh snowfall and provide a more secluded experience.

Freestyle riders can enjoy the resort’s terrain park, located near the base and featuring 8 rails and a rotating set of jumps and features. The park is designed for progression, with lines suitable for beginners and advanced riders alike. Two tubing lanes nearby offer family-friendly fun and a break from skiing.

Natural features like ridgelines and forested zones enhance the mountain’s character. The longest run, Two Miles Home, offers a scenic descent from summit to base and is popular for end-of-day laps. Whether carving groomers or navigating glades, Bretton Woods provides a balanced and engaging terrain mix for all abilities.
