BRETTON WOODS, N.H., Nov. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, is kicking off ski season 2010-2011 with new developments on the slopes, new renovations at the resort, special savings and a host of seasonal activities across every elevation. Home to New Hampshire's largest ski area – with views of the Northeast's highest peak – the Omni Mount Washington Resort will be warming the hearts of winter adventurers and family travelers alike.
New Gladed Acres: Skiers and snowboarders will be delighted to find the Bretton Woods ski area is bigger and better than ever with the recent addition of 30 gladed acres on Mt. Stickney. The first development in a long-awaited expansion of Mt. Stickney, the new glades offer a classic New England "back-country experience," with a long traverse off the "Two Miles Home" ski trail. The glades access a variety of terrain riddled with secret powder stashes, sharp tree chutes and the classic manicured glade skiing for which Bretton Woods has long been renowned. With the 30 additional acres, the Bretton Woods ski area now adds up to 464 skiable acres, with 102 trails and glades dressed with 200+ inches of annual snowfall on average.
A Wealth of Winter Activities: Travelers can look forward to numerous winter activities in the snow-covered expanse surrounding the Omni Mount Washington Resort. Try skiing and snowshoeing over 100 kilometers of trails amid three distinct, interconnected trail systems, with rentals available at the Bretton Woods Nordic Center. Nordic trails also include 11 km of dog friendly terrain for skiers and their dogs to enjoy.
The enormously popular Bretton Woods Canopy Tour runs year-round, with ten zip lines soaring through the trees and a descent of more than 1,100 feet of elevation. Resort guests and the public alike can take advantage of the attractive "Zip and Ski" ticket which includes a full day of Bretton Woods skiing and a Canopy Tour pass from just $129. Other new combo offers this year include the "Ski & Spa" for $129 including a half day ski ticket and 50-minute spa treatment, and the "Zip & Spa" including a Canopy Tour and 50-minute spa treatment for $140.
The faint and not-so-faint of heart can sample everything from ice skating onsite; ice climbing with experienced guides from the International Mountain Climbing School; snow tubing over hills of packed powder; dog sledding through the wilderness; sleigh and carriage rides and more.
New Resort Renovations: Whatever their experience on the mountains, guests will find a warm welcome at the historic property that is heading into winter fresh from the latest phase of a comprehensive, $60 million expansion and renovation. All guest rooms, suites and corridors of the Omni Mount Washington Hotel have been spruced up with new color schemes, wall coverings and artwork. Several casual dining venues have been re-conceived, including The Cave – an original Prohibition Era speakeasy, now dressed up in a classic English style – and Stickneys, a newly designed pub-style steakhouse appealing to the American sportsman in all of us. Family-style diners will enjoy Fabyan's Station set in a former train station arrayed with vintage railroad art and faux-train track flooring. The 1,400-square-foot Family Suite, complete with a living room, fireplace and two separate children's rooms, was also renovated.
