Part 5/10:
While New Hampshire’s vertical drops are commendable, the skiable acreage remains relatively modest. The largest ski areas, such as Bretton Woods, only top out around 400 acres, which is significantly smaller than Vermont's major ski areas like Killington—reportedly three times larger.
Moreover, New Hampshire’s tree coverage can often hinder the availability of off-piste options. In contrast, nearby Vermont and Maine resorts capitalize on naturally spaced trees that promote unmarked glade skiing. This aspect allows for a greater variety of terrain and hidden powder stashes elsewhere in the region, which aren't as common in New Hampshire.
