3. The resort is surrounded by rolling hills and forests typical of the New England landscape, with views of the nearby Salmon Falls River.
4. Nearby mountain ranges include the White Mountains in New Hampshire, which are about an hour's drive away, offering more extensive skiing and outdoor recreational opportunities.
Overall, Powderhouse Hill offers a small, family-friendly ski experience with a focus on community involvement and accessibility for all ages and skill levels.
The best trails for intermediate and advanced skiers are the Black Diamond and Blue Square runs, which offer challenging terrain and steep drops.

For beginners, the easiest trail is the Green Circle run, which is perfect for those just starting out. After a long day on the slopes, visitors should head to the nearby Black Birch Vineyard for some delicious wine and stunning views.
