Crotched Mountain is primed for an incredible day on the slopes this February 16, 2025. Overnight temperatures settled at a crisp 20.6°F, keeping the current 9-inch snowpack firm and fast. Fresh snow is in the forecast, with 14.32 inches expected in the next 24 hours and up to 15 inches over the next five days—perfect timing for skiers and riders looking for soft, powdery turns. While the snowpack is slightly above average, these upcoming storms should provide a much-needed refresh to the trails. Expect packed powder conditions early, with plenty of fresh snow accumulating throughout the day.

Operations at Crotched Mountain have seen some adjustments recently, but the mountain remains a beloved destination for local skiers. Nostalgic skiers may remember the legendary Midnight Madness sessions, and while those late-night runs are no longer a staple, the mountain continues to offer easy access for Boston-area skiers seeking quality turns within a short drive. Recent news of ownership changes and operational shifts has sparked discussions about the mountain’s future, but for now, the focus is on the fantastic snow conditions ahead. With fresh powder incoming, now is the time to hit the slopes and enjoy one of New Hampshire’s hidden gems.
