Exiting the pokey, red double chair at the Black Mountain summit, I left my ride, slid down the ramp and stopped in the face of Mount Washington — what a beauty.

Sail down the steeps of Jackson Standard or the turns of Valley View and take in vistas of the serene town called Jackson below but also gaze upon peaks like Tyrol and Doublehead. Wiggle down the trails and gaze over to Bartlett and Attitash and Bear Peak. Maybe you’ll recognize mountains like Kearsarge from the south-facing and affordable mountain.
