Ragged is the best little area for all abilities! I'm an avid skier, having skied for about 40 years, and mix with skiers of all abilities. I found Ragged friendly, helpful, fun and had great terrain and grooming for all abilities. I am really impressed with all the events and deals they have. If I lived close to here, I would go there every day. Highly recommended for all.

I have been skiing for 30 years but I am not that great so I like to go on the green trails. Ragged is fine for someone just learning to ski but it has a terrible selection of green trails from the top of the mountain. They really should be intermediates because of the steepness and narrowness of the trails. The chair lift to a wide green trail half way up the mountain was not operating and one of the two green trails from the top was closed. That left one green trail from the top with very, narrow, steep, icy sections. I had to snowplow for the first time in years. I was also knocked down because of the congestion and over crowding on the one green trail. That was the first time I've fallen in probably 10 years. One of the children in our group was knocked down twice for the same reason. I will not be going back.
I also was very disappointed that neither the employee at the ticket booth or the woman at the ski school told me that we could return our $5 cards at the end of the day for a refund. I found out just after 4:30 and they were "closed" and would not help me. That was $25 in the trash.
Ragged just does not compare to the other mountains that charge similar prices.

Easy parking, great people who clearly want you to be there, feels almost like home, good bar, good snack bar, good cookies, short lift lines, lift ticket has an RFID chip so it can go in a pocket and the gates open faster than most. Grooming very well done. What is not to like?
Remember to give your RFID ticket back at the end of your stay and get your $5.00 deposit back.
If you use foursquare, remember to checkin to get a free cookie too.

I hated the turn style card readers at Ragged Mountain. I wont go back until they are removed. Banged up my ski edges and got bruised by the gate not reading the card

Ragged was fun!! Great little mountain, no lift lines early on a sunday, fantastic customer service and employees. Grooming was great for the little snow we've had this season, not many ice patches and such. Only gripe was the weird electronic lift turnstiles that were a bit of a hassle. Thought they were a bit ridiculous for such a small mountain with 2 main lifts. But otherwise had a great time for a semi-short ride up to NH.

I skied Ragged Mountain on Sunday, 1/29/12.
Of the trails that were open, this mountain skis BIG! I know it has a 1,250 vertical rise, but it skied longer than that. The green and blue runs were challenging and the crowds were minimal for a week-end.
The lodge is very spacious and had 3 levels, though you need to go to the basement to get to the bathrooms.
Also, the bar lounge made a great Pulled Pork sandwich!!!!!
I will definitely ski at Ragged again this year.

We went on January 22 (the day after a moderate snowfall). Conditions were pretty good (some ice under the new snow -- to be expected given the recent weather) and we had a great time. The new turnstiles were a bit finicky but didn't seem to delay the lift lines -- we barely had to wait. I think the RFID cards will be handy for subsequent visits, as long as we don't lose them.

Have been skiing this mountain through 3 owners and 2 bancruptcies over 15+ years. Ragged is a hidden gem, truly great for a central to southern resort.
Will the current corporate ownership be able to maintain all that is great about Ragged while being a little more stable and professional? 2d season and tickets prices are way up, acceptable given the improved services, etc.
However, the new turnstiles SUCK! Let the people ski without being checked-in like groceries. I come to the mountains to get a little less of the machine, don't make me a servant to it.

Great skiing on January 13 ... conditions were superb !!!! 14 of 50 trails open but they were all outstanding!!! I must admit, I am not a fan of the turnstiles.

Great Skiing on 1/16.
With Mother Nature on vacation,, the terrain open was in great shape.
slopes held up pretty much to the end of the day.
Not a line to be found ... where is everyone?
You're missing out!!!!

Meant to state that the conditions were excellent, even though we have not had any snow fall here in NH. The staff are very friendly and professional. We skied hard all day and had so many runs that we finally had to stop, our legs were smoked! This is the hidden gem in NH for skiing. And the food in the Pub is excellent and so is Stephanie who works in the Pub.

Even though you have purchased your tickets on Liftopia - you must purchase a RFID "Get Ragged" card for each person in your group to be able to ski for the day. They are $5.00 each and are good for the season. Just thought that skiers should know about this added expense.
Ragged Mountain Resort will be using a new Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) ticketing system which means less time in line and more time on the snow! The new Get Ragged Card will be used as your lift ticket, season pass or Frequent Skier Card. Each card has a unique ID that is attached to YOU! After an initial $5 purchase of your Get Ragged Card, you can load your card at home, on your smart phone, or at the ticket window.
Each card has a unique ID and radio frequency transponder. Once your card is activated, put your card in an empty pocket or sleeve holder. To ensure the best efficiency, do not keep other items such as cell phones, car keys, or other metal in the same pocket. Do not punch a hole in your card, and there is no longer a need to use a ziptie, lanyard or wicket.

Went 3/29. Nice sunny day, snow was packed solid but softened up by the end of the day. There was no one there, I thought the place was closed when I walked up. Cool decent sized mountain with a nice lodge. Would do it again with more snow.
