Loon

Loon Mountain is conveniently located right off I93 in Lincoln NH, making it a popular choice for families. Loon is big on parks and pipes with five unique terrain parks plus a Big Air Bag for the kids, and NH's best snowmaking for mom and dad's assurance.

Loon skis and rides on three separate but interconnected peaks: North Peak, Loon Peak in the center served by the gondola, and South Peak which opened in 2008. The views from South Peak of Franconia Notch are exceptional, and the trails offers the newest terrain in New England. North Peak, the highest at 3,050', humbles the timid with tough trails like Walking Boss and Flume served by a high speed quad. Loon has some of New Hampshire's best ski trails, twisty, turning Flying Fox, super scenic Sunset from Loon Peak, and long undulating Cruiser on South Peak are all inviting and interesting runs.

Two base areas provide extensive services for families. The Gondola Base and Octagon Lodge is where you will find the Adventure Center for zip lining, slopeside dining at Black Diamond and après ski at Paul Bunyan's, snow tubing and the best on mountain lodging at the Mountain Club on Loon. A spacious Children's Center with daycare and lessons and an additional Day Lodge is located at Governor's Pavilion where the Kancamagus quad originates. The South Peak base is limited with Pemigewasset Base Camp yurt serving burritos, soups and sandwiches. Lincoln and Woodstock offer copious condo lodging options, shops, and restaurants from fast food to brewpubs like Woodstock Station and Common Man, to keep the family happy for a week.
