THANK YOU!
YOUR SUPPORT IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED ...

Support from the community and our patrons is greatly appreciated whenever we are faced with unexpected expenses which can be anything from bridge repairs needed due to the impact of a torrential rain storm to unexpected expenses for groomer repairs and snow farming to improve trail conditions..

The bridge on the 1785 Inn trail washed away with the torrential rains received on May 1st. Your generous donations covered the cost of the bridge replacement which was completed in November.

1785 Bridge Repair

Completed bridge

The new bridge was in place to begin the 2023-24 season only to be lifted from the foundation with the rain that fell the week before Christmas.

THANK YOU to the North Conway Water Precinct
for securing the bridge back in position!

Your continued support is critical to ensuring continued safe, affordable winter fun on the Mt. Washington Valley Ski Touring's network of trails.

Unlike most cross country ski operations, the Mt. Washington Valley Ski Touring and Snowshoe Foundation is a unique public-private partnership with the Town of Conway. The foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non profit organization dedicated to providing Conway residents, taxpayers, and school age children with access to winter recreation opportunities including snowshoeing and Nordic skiing at no cost.

For more than thirty years the Foundation has groomed and maintained ski trails connecting North Conway, Kearsarge and Intervale, hosted hundreds of high school cross country ski races which include state and division championship events, and supported the Eastern Slope Ski Club's weekly Nordic ski program.

Years ago the Town of Conway purchased Whitaker Woods and placed it in recreation use for perpetuity. The land was deeded with the caveat that recreation be provided at no cost to the residents of the town. Today, the trails in Whitaker Woods are used year round for hiking, biking, running, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. Unlike requirements for most recreational uses, the trails are groomed for skiing which is cost intensive.

Trail access given to residents extends well beyond
the trails in Whitaker Woods through the entire network .

 
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
     

 

 
  WAYS YOU CAN HELP...  

In addition to grooming expenses, your donations are needed for:

  • Trail maintenance which includes building and repairing bridges to key sections of the trails along with pre-season preparation which includes mowing, clearing of new growth and trimming of trailside vegetation.
  • Signage - creation of enhanced signage along the trails as well as repairing signs that have become illegible.
  • Equipment maintenance - grooming equipment must receive routine maintenance throughout the season to provide the great conditions we all desire, and occasionally requires repairs beyond those planned.
 
       
 
  • Volunteer for Trail Days
  • Use the Trails!
 
   
   
       
       
       
     
Join us for our Annual Trail Days.
Spend a day with us working on the trails during late October and early November and you'll receive a FREE Season Pass! Every year we are faced with the task of clearing the trails from summer growth by mowing, chopping, chipping and clipping in order to be able to provide the best grooming possible with the least amount of snow cover. We thank everyone that has helped us with these annual tasks and look forward to meeting new workers in the fall. Be sure to check our Calendar for trail days scheduled for the new season.
