Ski Your Cares Away in Bartlett
By Caitlin Moore

There are many attractive ski destinations to choose from
when the urge to hit the snow comes upon you and your
family, but sometimes, for whatever reason, it makes sense
to stick to the East Coast. New Hampshire has a surprising
array of options, as skiing is actually the official state sport.
For a good taste of all that is offered in the White Mountains
region, which includes winter sports and year-round
activities of all kind, take a look at Bartlett.

Bartlett is located on Attitash Mountain amidst a wonderland
of wintertime delights, as Mount Washington Valley and
North Conway are known for being ideal vacation settings.
Many cozy towns dot this area and are equipped with shops,
restaurants, recreation facilities, and much more. Bartlett is
one of the shining stars, however, so focus your energy
here if you’d like an experience worth remembering and
repeating.

This region of the state might look familiar when you first
arrive because it has been commonly captured by artists
looking to create pleasant scenes of country bliss and
natural beauty. Quaint covered bridges, folksy towns, and
rolling hills that give way to the magnificent mountains will
quickly boost your mood and make you feel a million miles
away from your previous responsibilities. Enjoy the setting
and get ready to immerse yourself in these painting-worthy
pictures.

As you speed down the slopes via skis or snowboard or as
you traverse a flatter stretch of frosty land on snowshoes or
snowmobile, you’ll remember why winter vacations are so
much fun. Not only are you getting back in touch with Mother
Nature, you’re also burning off a few calories without an
ounce of boredom and spending an exhilarating day
alongside the ones you love. Finish it off with a cup of cider
and a session of roasting your toes in front of the fireplace
and it’ll feel like life is pretty good.

Not that the only time to come here is the winter; Bartlett is
lovely during all seasons and is just as packed with things to
do before or after snow season. Autumn reveals the kind of
colorful explosions that foliage-watchers dream about, and
the crisp-but-not-yet-cold weather is perfect for hiking and
strolling through the town in search of antiques and unique
souvenirs. It’s also good cuddling weather, so bring your
honey along and catch up on some quality snuggle time.

White Mountain National Forest makes a fine venue for
warm weather pursuits that will ignite your senses with the
sights and sounds of the earth and sky. Hike and bike on the
web of paths the weave in and out of the ancient forests and
rugged terrain. Hop aboard a canoe or squeeze into a kayak
for a river or lake adventure, and be sure to note the healthy
glow that exists in the cheeks of your companions. Several
facilities are available that will rent out equipment and
provide basic instructions for all the weekend warrior types,
so rest assured that you’ll be well-prepared for a good time.

After working up an appetite, be sure to visit a café or tavern
for a one-of-a-kind meal. In addition to local theatre, dinner
shows and special events, Irish pubs, jazz brunches and
après-ski during the winters all add magnetism to the area
and will round out your Bartlett experience.

Another way to add dimension to this trip is to reserve a
vacation rental. There are many to choose from in this
region, and their unique amenities, convenience to the
slopes and capacity for privacy make them intriguing
options. Chalets, condos, ski lodges and town homes are
abundant and often offer special deals and off-season rates,
so consider forgoing the traditional hotel experience in favor
of something new and different.

Between your willingness to leave it all behind and the
Bartlett Vacation Rental that awaits you, your upcoming trip
to the mountains of New Hampshire is sure to go smoothly.
Start preparing today, mentally and logistically, and be ready
for a fabulous time.
