Jim and Bob Drummonds the owners, are terrific guys and will give you a great deal, especially if you tell them you're renting one of John Gallagher's 2 houses. Excellent rental equipment and you'll be in and out in 5 minutes or less.

Bretton Woods is seldom crowded as it's NH's largest Ski area by acreage. It gets more natural snow than any place in NH due to its Proximity to Mt. Washington, the tallest peak in all six New England states.
