    Location & Getting There

    Situated in Pinkham Notch within the White Mountain National Forest, Wildcat Mountain stands just 5 miles from the town of Jackson, New Hampshire. The resort's proximity to North Conway (20 minutes away) provides easy access to lodging, dining, and après-ski activities. The mountain's location directly across from Mount Washington creates a dramatic backdrop and unique weather patterns that enhance natural snow accumulation.

    Season Info

    Wildcat Mountain typically operates from mid-November through early April, offering one of New England's longest skiing seasons. Thanks to an average annual snowfall of 200 inches and comprehensive snowmaking coverage, reliable conditions extend throughout the winter months. Spring skiing here is legendary, with many bluebird days and deep snow lasting well into April.
