Loon Mountain, Waterville Valley – Great New Hampshire Skiing

February 9th, 2013 by billwebb

Our best snow of the season has arrived in central New Hampshire! A foot of light powder is just what the skiers ordered and it comes at a great time as we head into President’s Day week and school vacations.

This weekend we have guests at our New Hampshire bed and breakfast who are tubing at Loon Mountain, skiing at Waterville Valley and dog sled riding with Barking Brook Kennels. And one of our guests is participating in the Fishing Derby sponsored by the Meredith Rotary Club. Quite a mix of activities.

While we have guests with a variety of interests they all agree that starting their day with one of our country breakfasts and landing back in one of our cozy rooms is the best way to start and end a day.

It goes to show that Holderness and the Squam Lake area are not just summer destinations. The Inn On Golden Pond is open year round and we can help you plan a day full of fun anytime of the year. Whether you’re planning activities in Lincoln, NH or Meredith NH, on Lake Winnipesaukee or Squam Lake, on Loon Mountain or Mount Tecumsah, if you’re looking for quality accommodations we’ve got you covered.
