The cozy New England town of Jackson, New Hampshire, provides Black Mountain's visitors with a picturesque backdrop. Meanwhile, the more-than-80-year-old ski area offers guests recreational fun year-round.

• Cold weather is ideal for skiing, particularly at Black Mountain. Here, guests can rent skiing equipment to explore the area's well-groomed trails, challenging glades, and other majestic surroundings. And if they're new to the sport, or simply want to brush up on their skills, Black Mountain offers private and group lessons for skiiers of all ages.
• When summer rolls around, Black Mountain's visitors can swing by the stables to meet the property's equine residents. Then, they're invited to explore the ski trails and their mountain views. Trail rides aren't the only equine option though. Others include lessons, overnight rides, and pony parties for little ones.
  • Year-round, the spot hosts events for kids and adults alike. One-time events range from chairlift speed dating to a St. Patrick's Day parade. In addition, Lost Bo Pub, located onsite, offers a host of weekly specials. Plus, couples can tie the knot with the mountains as their backdrop in Black Mountain's lodge.
