  Start your TOHG 2025-26 ski season at the AMC Highland Center Lodge! Located just two miles from the Bretton Woods ski resort, which features downhill and cross-country terrain. Stay 1, 2, 3 or all 4 nights.

  For those who have attended previously, please pay attention to these instructions as some details have changed!

  The Highland Center is one of the many lodges operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club. All rooms being held for the TOHG have private baths and are typically located on the second or third floor with beautiful views. Elevator and bag carts are available at the main entrance. Lots of parking within a short walk from the main entrance.  Free wi-fi is included, but no TV.

  There is also a large guest dining room where we can gather for all meals. There's a small gift shop and game room. The Highland Center offers complimentary LL Bean gear for us to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis. The gear room is usually stocked with boots, outerwear, backpacks, hiking poles, and snowshoes, but they do not have any Cross-Country skiing equipment. Inquire at the desk when you arrive.

  It's also worth mentioning their ample sitting room with a gaslit fireplace that is always glowing. Great for reading, socializing, puzzles and games.  

  Additionally, a separate private space will be provided for our daily après-ski gathering. Bring your favorite snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to share. Alcoholic drinks are available for purchase on premises during meal hours.

   Watch for TOHG hiking opportunities in the area sometimes led by other TOHG leaders who attend this trip. They will announce how to register and plan for these additional activities.

  Prospect Mountain maintains more than 30 kilometers of trails. When the snow falls, the trails are expertly groomed for both skating and classical cross-country skiing. Most trails have tracks set on either side with a wide skating lane in the center. There are also special snowshoeing and single-track trails. They have trails from beginner to expert. The Mountain Trail is popular with experts looking to climb more than 400 feet to the top of the mountain. After enjoying the view into the valley below, get ready for several kilometers of downhill fun!

  Prospect welcomes skiers who want to skin up the mountain and ski down the former alpine trails. Even if you are not using the cross country trails, they do request that you buy a day pass. This helps support the plowing of the parking lot and mowing those downhill trails in the off season.

  Prospect Mountain’s lodge has been a fixture for years, a rustic place to warm up grab some soup and a sandwich and catch your breath. Over the years it has become like a second home, and been decorated by memorabilia and pictures.

  Private and semi-private lessons are available by appointment. Call (802)442-2575.

  The plan is for meals to be at the club, but you are free to go out if you wish.

  The club is continuing our wonderful tradition of going to the ski-in/ski-out Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River.

  The resort offers the most terrain in the East with a network that spans eight mountain peaks, providing great options for skiers of all ability levels and preferences. The hotel also offers a large hot tub for those wanting to bask in the sunshine and soothe their muscles at the end of a day on the slopes.

  Additionally, there are wonderful cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and winter hiking options at the nearby Bethel Inn and Carter’s Cross Country Ski areas.

  Lodging will consist of deluxe suites which historically have comfortably accommodated four people. Each suite consists of a bedroom side with two queen beds, and a kitchenette side (which is shared for meals) with a Murphy bed and sofa bed. The sides are separated by a door and each has its own private bathroom.

  Requests for roommates and room style (bedroom or kitchen side) will be addressed on the online registration form. Final rooming assignments will be provided mid-January 2026.

  Note: Depending on the distribution of preferences, it is possible that a small number of requests (kitchen v. bedroom side) may not be able to be honored.  That said, last year only a very small number of such requests couldn’t be met.  Please indicate on your registration if that was the case with you so you can have priority this year. 

  As stated, the block of suites we’ve reserved involves sharing kitchen facilities.  If you wish to book a room that does not require sharing, please reach out to the trip leaders and we will check into availability and pricing.

  Per tradition, we will have nightly social hours, either in one of the suites or by the fireplace in the lower lobby. We’ll also host two group dinners featuring your choice of multiple entrees, side dishes, and a lavish dessert.  One of those dinners will be on our arrival day, Sunday, and the other on Tuesday evening.
