Wildcat Ski Resort

Location:

The location of Wildcat Ski Resort is in Mount Washington Valley, New Hampshire. The ski resort is actually right across the street from Mount Washington itself. The views there are beautiful with the presidential range, but there are some down falls of this too. Having Mount Washington right there the winds come right down the headwall of Tuckermans Ravine and then right up Wildcat making it a cold ski area. It also gets so windy that the lifts can possible shut down.

Staff and Coaches: 

The staff at Wildcat is a top notch crew of instructors and employees that know what they are doing. One of the best parts of the mountain is the lodge they have. The employees working in the lodge make some of the best food. They have everything you could want, having a full working restaurant on the top floor and a cafeteria for the people that want something to eat quick on the main floor. Also they have a staff devoted to rentals and for tuning and fixing skies that know what they are doing. On the mountain too the staff is great with teaching. They use some of the best learning strategies to get you skiing and riding with no problem.

Terrain:

The terrain at Wildcat is very diverse. It is a very old ski area so it has a lot of trails that are long, narrow, and winding trails because thats how they were designed back in the day. They have put some trails in though that are wide and straight for some nice speed runs. The mountain also has some areas that are very steep but other spots that are flatter good for beginners. This mountain does get so cold that it mostly is skied by racers and dedicated skiers, so if you do end up skiing here make sure you dress properly because frost bit can happen if not dressed right.
