Snow Reporter Comments: Mostly sunny skies today opens our holiday weekend, and what a weekend we have planned! Aside from what we hope is some fresh snow we’ll also have 100% of our trails and lifts open, the Twisted Pine Terrain Park open, the Pine Meadows Tubing Park and Tohko Dome open, and music on Saturday and Sunday nights! Today, four lifts are scheduled with King Pine, Pine Cone, Pine Spills, East Slope, West Slope, Knotty Pine, Red Pine, Pokey Pine, Slow Pokey Pine, White Pine, Pine Board, Jack Pine, Scotch Pine, Crooked Pine, Pine Slalom, Pitch Pine and Pine Brule, as well as the Bear Rug and Cubby Carpet Learning Center areas. All trails are scheduled to be groomed nightly and conditions are perfect featuring machine-groomed packed powder with crisp morning corduroy surfaces.
At this time "Alpine Touring" is allowed in accordance with our Uphill Access Policy on the frontside of the mountain via Scotch Pine and on the backside of the mountain via Slow Pokey Pine.
King Pine sits in a valley in the White Mountains National Forest and primarily serves the beginner and intermediate skier or snowboarder. That's not to say there aren't some steeps. The sheltered location protects the slopes from cold winds making most ski and ride days pleasant. The resort is known for it's family-friendly atmosphere, affordability and great grooming. The vertical is a short 350 feet, so keeping track of the kids is easy. Guests will love the adjacent Purity Spring Resort, where they can find lodging, home-style food and world class amenities.
