Balsams Wilderness Ski Area
Dixville Notch, New Hampshire
The Balsams may one day become a major player in the New England ski market. Les Otten and friends may be rebuilding this once magnificent ski area, golf course, and four-season resort. The Balsams is presently closed.
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 may one day offer more variety than any other ski area in the northeast. Share your business, contact us.
