So I'm getting back into nordic skiing (fuck lift tickets) and wondering where the best conditions are right now. I'm in Manchester for reference, so driving 2.5 hours to Jackson isn't really happening anytime soon.
Very interested in some loops in the Pemi Wilderness... Any info on snow coverage? Access via Kancamagus is easiest for me, but is there better snow in the north (Zealand Campground)?
Also wondering about Green Woodlands... Have yet to bike there but heard they switch to skiing in the winter. But is it skiable?
Any resources for conditions in the lowlands up north are also welcome... Mountain forecasts are great for my other activities, but I gotta get there!

Check this out. Even if you’re not interested in buying the pass, it’s a good list of XC centers in the region. https://www.indyskipass.com/resorts/cross-country/
Adding to it, Gunstock, Bretton Woods, and Weston Ski Track (MA) have XC centers. Lincoln Woods is a popular spot too. I like Great Brook Farm in Carlisle, MA on the rare occasion they have enough snow to operate.
Fuck climate change. Really making it impossible to run an XC ski center outside of the North Country. We get a bit of natural snow, then it pisses hot rain for a week. Ugh.
