About this Event
Six Cross Country Ski Areas Join Forces for $26 Two-Day Pass
Celebrating the Spirit of Winter Competition
Milano Cortina isn't the only place buzzing with Nordic sports this February!
Purchase the two day Chasing Gold Weekend Pass and explore over 400KM of trails on cross country skis or snowshoes at 6 Nordic areas, all within 30 minutes of North Conway. This two-day ticket valued at more than $100 is valid at all six areas.
The White Mountain region's ties to skiing's highest levels run deep. Local Nordic centers have introduced countless young skiers to the sport with some continuing to train to represent the United States in regional and international competitions and become lifelong skiers. "When you ski here, you're literally following in the tracks of champions," said one longtime local coach. “The Chasing Gold pass invites every skier to share in that tradition — to experience the same trails, the same views, and the same joy of skiing that has inspired so many before them.”
With more than 400 kilometers of trails across six unique networks, all within easy driving distance of one another, White Mountain Nordic offers a destination unlike any other. This February, the Chasing Gold Weekend Pass will let skiers write their own story in the tracks of legends.
The Areas ...
The six participating areas each bring their own flavor to the Chasing Gold experience. Bretton Woods Nordic Center, one of the largest in the East, offers 100 kilometers of wide, groomed trails with panoramic views of Mount Washington. Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center, located at the base of the Mount Washington Auto Road, combines family-friendly loops with adventurous backcountry routes and opportunities for snowshoeing. Jackson Ski Touring Foundation is a storied destination, boasting more than 140 kilometers of ski and snowshoe trails that wind through a classic New England village and into rolling fields and forested hills. Mt. Washington Valley Ski Touring & Snowshoe Foundation provides a unique ski-through-town experience, linking North Conway’s inns and shops to riverside trails and scenic woodland networks. Bear Notch Ski Touring Center is known for its welcoming, family-run atmosphere and expansive trail system through Bartlett’s woodlands, with stunning views of the Saco River. Finally, Purity Spring XC & Snowshoe Reserve offers peaceful loops around King Pine and Purity Lake, blending cross-country skiing with quintessential New England winter scenery.
How it Works ...
Present your EventBrite tickets to receive a special Chasing Gold Punch Card that allows entry to each of the six centers over the weekend of Feb. 7-8. Skiers may choose one area or several in a single day, crafting their own ski tour of the White Mountains. While the pass is non-transferable and quantities are limited, it delivers extraordinary value and a chance to be part of a regional celebration of winter sport.
Passes are available for purchase online now and will close on Saturday, January 31, 2026, or when sold out. Purchasers will present their receipt at the first ski area they visit to receive their punch card, which must be carried throughout the weekend. Full details are available at WMNordic.com.
