SKI GUIDE 2001-2002
APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN CLUB

Rte. 16, Pinkham Notch, (603) 466-2725 or 466-2721, (603) 466-2727 for reservations.
The Pinkham Notch Visitors' Center is 10 miles from Jackson, connected by the Avalanche Brook Trail. It is a 2.5-mile hike to Tuckerman Ravine, an undeveloped ski area in the White Mountain National Forest. (Note to downhillers: the ravine can be skied only in the spring due to the high risk of avalanches during the winter and is for expert skiers only. It is the most extreme skiing in the East and can be accessed only by a 2.5-mile hike that gains nearly 3000 feet. Bring your own skis.)
Trails: more than a dozen marked, ungroomed trails wind through Pinkham Notch. Best for intermediate and expert skiers.
Hours: visitors' center open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Rates: no trail fees. Snowshoes available for rental.
Lodging: at the lodge, $47 per night with two meals ($42 for AMC members), $30 per night without meals ($27), private rooms, $65-$80 ($58-72). All-you-can-eat meals offered daily: breakfast and buffet, $6, $4 for children; dinner, $14 ($12.50). Trail lunches available for $6. Lodging available at self-service huts at Carter Notch (accessible by hiking uphill 3.8 miles), Zealand Falls (accessible by snowshoeing or skiing 7 miles), and a hostel at Crawford Notch (on Rte. 302); bring food and a sleeping bag; rates $18 ($16 for members).
