Skiing is a seasonal staple in New England. With several different areas surrounding Peterborough, there’s something for all types of skiers.

Ready to whoosh downhill? Crotched Mountain Ski is located 20 minutes away from the Jack Daniels, and provides a nice variety of trails, short life lines, and even a terrain park. Home to Midnight Madness, skiers can enjoy the slopes even after the sun has set.
