Ski Loon Mountain - Based on the skiing experience of your group, you should decide which of Loon's 3 mountains you want to start off on.
- Loon Peak - For groups with kids and novice skiers, Loon Peak is a good starting peak.
Loon Peak's starter trail is Bear Claw Trail.
Bear Claw also marks the start of Loon's Gondola Ride starts, which is a fantastic way to check out the beautiful views Loon Peak has to offer.
East Basin (a section of Loon Peak) is also great place for expert skiers to test their skills on a higher grade slope. - South Peak - For mid-level skiers, South Peak provides two rapid runs, Boom Run and Cruiser, which will take you on both sides of the peak on some classic New England ski trails.
Adept skiers should consider Rip Saw, which is a double black diamond trail that breaks off of Boom Run. - North Peak - North Peak is Loon's highest, and provides some great scenic trails.
These slopes are ideal for taking in New Hampshire's fresh mountain air and awesome natural scenery.
