The average weekend, full-day adult ticket at a chairlift-served ski area in New Hampshire is almost 10 percent higher this year – although New Hampshire remains the only northern New England state with no ticket prices crossing the $100 threshold.
According to web-based news site New England Ski Industry, the rise was affected party because Granite Gorge, the state’s second-cheapest area, suspended operations. Adjusted for Granite Gorge, the group said, the average lift ticket increased by 6.6 percent.
Bretton Woods sports the most expensive ticket, increasing $6 to $99. Tiny Campton Mountain remains the state’s cheapest ticket at $20.
Sunapee’s new operator, Vail Resorts, does not publish ticket window rates, so window prices referenced in the online store were used.
Pat’s Peak in Henniker has an average weekend lift ticket price of $72, a slight increase over last year. The average weekend ticket at Crotched Mountain in Bennington is $69, roughly even with last year’s price.
The mean price for 2018-19 is $73.42, as compared to $67.05 in 2017-18.
