Skiing and Riding

Nestled in the heart of the spectacular Presidential Mountain range high above scenic Jackson, Black Mountain offers a truly unique New England experience.

Known for its family friendly atmosphere, terrain for all abilities, sunny southern exposure and protection from the winds, Black has been a favorite choice for skiers since 1935. One of only a few of its kind in our country, Black is family owned and operated and proudly offers an atmosphere that is quite pleasantly different. At Black you will not experience massive crowds, long lift lines and shuttles from multiple parking lots. You will experience a day on the slopes that finds you amongst friendly folks, incredible views, and wooded trails and glades that seem to have almost become extinct. Our mountainside is still so pristine that it is not even uncommon to catch a glimpse of wildlife as part of your day. This season Black celebrates its 75th birthday as the first ski area in New Hampshire, and we have made it our top priority to maintain affordable pricing to help ensure the future of our beloved sport. In addition to our extremely affordable lift tickets and rental equipment, we offer adults a learn to ski package that includes a 90 minute lesson for FREE, and a very reasonably priced cafeteria and pub menu. Black Mountain has often been referred to as 'a hidden gem' up in the hills of Jackson, a quaint New England town that is home to beautiful historic inns, cozy restaurants and taverns, live local music, horse drawn sleigh rides, ice skating ponds and winter festivals.
