Part 3/10:
New Hampshire's natural geography contributes to its ski appeal, boasting some of the tallest and most visually striking mountains in the Northeast. Mount Washington, with an elevation of 6,288 feet, reigns supreme as the tallest peak in the region. Notably, the state harbors at least 20 other mountains that surpass Vermont's highest, Mount Mansfield.
Ski areas such as Wildcat, Loon, and Cannon boast respectable vertical drops, often exceeding 2,000 feet. The mountains also present rugged terrain, making for thrilling challenges, particularly for advanced skiers. The combination of high elevation and cold temperatures allows for reliable snowmaking, giving New Hampshire an edge in terms of snow preservation compared to resorts in Southern New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
