Gunstock is a family friendly resort in the heart of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. With amazing views and great terrain, Gunstock also offers night skiing.
The most spectacular view of Lake Winnipesaukee is just one of the many reasons why skiers and riders make their way to Gunstock Mountain Resort. As the closest major ski area to Boston,... we provide the ideal atmosphere; close to everything in the Lakes Region, yet away from the crowds. Jump on the Panorama High Speed Quad, the third longest lift in New Hampshire, and let it take you over a mile and 1400 vertical feet in just 6 minutes.
Choose an adventure for every member of your family at any level- take a run on one of 51 trails on 220 acres, rip it up or get some air in one of two Terrain Parks, go tubing on the longest tube park in NH, strap on the kick skis or skate ski on 50 kilometers of groomed cross country ski trails, then take a summit hike on a pair of snowshoes, and end the day relaxing by the fire.

First time using Liftophia, will definately use them again. Would love to see more weekend deals. Went on Feb 8. Blue skies, 38 degrees, no lift lines, views for miles from the top, great conditions! Always have a great time at Gunstock!!

Almost all trails open Monday Jan 30th, except for glades and some outer ones. Bright sunny day with no lines and smooth granular snow to ride on. Staff very down to earth and friendly. Not a mega resort, just a fun laid back place. My first time to Gunstock, absolutely will return as much as I can.

not enought snow yet.
when the Mt. up and running it the best bang for your buck!
Hamburger was $8.25 add fries $2.00. I think the childs 1/2 day pass was the same price.

Go here at least 15 times a year living in MA. The snow is incredible. If you want simple terrain, not to challenging but still good enough to have some fun on, this is your place.

Came here for a race on a weekend, so the first half of my day was devoted to that. Conditions were pretty bad for a race, but for afterwards and cruising around the mountain they were terrific! One of the instructors yelled at me for going on the mini slalom thing on the side of one of the trails though. Not too many moguls though, just on Hot Shot, Red Hat, and Tiger Steeps. The terrain park is way underrated. Giant flat spot under the high speed quad though, so if you're on hot shot, recoil, gunsmoke, trigger, etc, keep your speed up. Also, when you go down upper Ramrod, towards the end you need a lot of speed before you hit that 90-100 degree turn. The groomers are the main focus here though.

I went with my 12 year old son. The skiing was GREAT. Spring skiing is my favorite and Gunstock is one of my favorite mountians too. We had a great time and can't wait till next season.

Last day of the season was great with the snow loosening through the day. Excellent park jumps and some decent terrain -- though not much on the steeper side. Usually ride at Sunday River and was great to have a change of scenery and EASY drive from Kennebunkport...

Gunstock offers great skiing - awesome grooming and fun trails for all abilities. Has a reputation as a family mountain but Gunstock offers steeper terrain than Wildcast. For advanced skiers take the Tiger chair to ski Tiger, Cannonball, Redhat, and Flintlock Extension. These diamond trails are fast and fun! Take the summit chair to ski the glades.

It is a great alternative to Sunapee. Less crowds, just as far away from Boston. It is a little smaller than Sunapee but bigger than Wachusett.

Great little mountain to ski with the kids. My two (7&8) are getting confident on blacks and Gunstock's are a great for their standard. Not too long or challenging but wide with some steep bits, good confidence builders.
All in all I treat Gunstock as my quick fix day ski or head up for a night ski. It won't set your hair on fire if you are anything above an intermediate skier but is a nice, small mountain and pretty family friendly.

Attended free demo day sponsored by nearby Piche's for the second year in a row. Fun spring conditions. The best part, we woke up late and were pleased to find that our tickets were good till 10pm, no extra charge! Good sized mountain with some fun cruisers, cannonball and tiger are good to rev up some speed.

The snow conditions and grooming were great this past weekend. The group I was with had a great time snowboarding. A great mountain for all levels, with plenty of trails for beginners as well as those who are more advanced.

Not the place for a real challenge but if you like to sleep in until noon and then ski until 10pm this place is perfect.
