Loon Mountain Resort in Lincoln, New Hampshire, covers 370 acres (150 hectares) over three peaks - North Peak, Loon Peak and South Peak - with 61 runs. The vertical is 2,100 ft (640 m), from a 950 ft (290 m) base to a 3,050 ft (930 m) summit. Intermediate terrain makes up 60%, with 20% beginner, 17% advanced and 3% expert, so cruising is the main event. Snowfall averages around 140 inches a year. The Kancamagus 8 chair and a gondola move big crowds efficiently, which suits a mountain this popular.

Beginners start on wide, easy runs such as Brookway and Bear Pause. Intermediates get long cruisers like Picked Rock and Upper Rumrunner off the North Peak Express. Steeper pitches include Flume, Haulback and Upper Walking Boss, named after founder Sherman Adams, plus the wooded Walking Boss Woods. South Peak holds the toughest terrain, with Ripsaw, Undercut and the mogul-and-chute mix of Triple Trouble. Loon suits intermediates and families best, thanks to its wide cruising runs and gondola access, with enough advanced skiing to keep stronger skiers busy for a few days.

The 2025-26 season at Loon Mountain Resort ran from 12 December 2025 to 19 April 2026, a roughly eighteen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 140 inches. Season dates can shift depending on early and late-season weather in the White Mountains.

Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions to Loon's intermediate-weighted terrain. As an Ikon Pass resort, Loon draws substantial visitation from Ikon Pass holders alongside its traditional Boston-area visitor base, supported by the resort's relatively accessible location within the White Mountains.

Loon's considerable scale, among the larger resorts in New Hampshire, supports strong visitor capacity during peak weekend and holiday periods. School holiday periods bring substantial family visitation given the resort's varied terrain across beginner through expert-rated runs. Weekend crowds draw heavily from the greater Boston metropolitan area given the manageable drive time.

Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. Since Boyne Resorts' 2018 purchase, Loon has continued building on nearly six decades of history dating to Sherman Adams' 1966 founding. The resort's Ikon Pass affiliation and considerable scale remain central to its status as one of New Hampshire's leading destination resorts.
