Balsams Wilderness Ski Area
Dixville Notch, New Hampshire
The Balsams is about to become a major player in the New England ski market. Les Otten and friends are rebuilding this once magnificent ski area, golf course and four-season resort. The Balsams has a base camp at 2,350 feet above sea level – a glorious balcony for your winter adventures. With 2,200 skiable acres of alpine skiing terrain, The Balsams will be larger and more varied than any other ski area in the northeast. Until then consider investing in The Balsams – it will be a boon for New Hampshire north country. Share The Balsams reviews, comments or add your business, contact us.
