Stunning Photos and Video Show Snowmaking Roar To Life at New Hampshire's Largest Ski Resort
There’s nothing like the sound of a snowmaking machine roaring back to life.
Snowmaking crews at Bretton Woods, known for being the largest ski resort in New Hampshire by skiable acreage, were treated to a symphony of snowmaking as temps plummeted on Halloween Night, October 31, 2026.
“After spending the warmer months getting our system ready, we’re ready to put it to work,” said Jace Wirth, general manager of Bretton Woods. “Taking advantage of early-season weather windows requires planning, coordination, and close attention to conditions. Our team takes a lot of pride in making the most of those opportunities as we prepare to welcome skiers and riders back.”
Check out a video and photo gallery below of Bretton Woods’ first snowmaking effort. The ski resort has not announced an opening day for the Winter 26/27 season at this time.
