Bretton Woods Enhances Skiing Experience with Major Upgrades
Bretton Woods, New Hampshire's largest ski area, is set to improve its offerings for the 2025-2026 season. The resort, known for its views of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range, will replace its long-standing Bethlehem Express Quad with a modern high-speed lift. Additionally, a new black diamond glade will open up more terrain for advanced skiers and riders.
The new BEQ II lift, a four-person Leitner-Poma detachable quad, will replace the 35-year-old Bethlehem Express Quad. This upgrade aims to reduce wait times and improve access to the slopes by transporting 1,800 people per hour. The lift's terminals will be repositioned to enhance the overall guest experience. The bottom terminal will move uphill to reduce congestion and improve access to other lifts, while the top terminal will be relocated to create an easier exit for beginners.
Complementing the lift upgrade, Bretton Woods will introduce a new black diamond glade between Upper Swoop and Upper Express. This addition will provide more options for advanced skiers and snowboarders looking for challenging terrain.
