Bretton Woods, NH – Although it’s only October, one New Hampshire ski area has already opened for skiing and riding for the 2013-14 ski season.

Bretton Woods Ski Area took advantage of recent cold temperatures to make snow since October 25. The resort opened today for one day of free skiing and riding on Range View, a mile-long groomer, with access via the resort’s Zephyr Quad.

Bretton Woods will now re-close until they open again for continual operations for the 2013-14 ski season sometime in November.
