Pat’s Peak: A Hidden Gem for Ski Moms and Families in New England

Discover why Pat’s Peak, with its top-notch snowmaking, charming New England vibes, and family-focused design, should be on your must-ski list this winter

This fall, I’ve been traveling across New England to promote the new Ski Moms Après Ski Cocktails book. Despite the hustle of side projects, my main winter focus remains unchanged: getting on snow and soaking in the joy of winter’s outdoor magic.

This season, I set two goals: ski my age (54 in December) and visit six resorts that are new to me. I’ve already checked the first one off the list with a visit to Pat’s Peak in New Hampshire.

As the Ski Moms community has grown, I’ve been fortunate to receive complimentary passes from some big ski companies—thank you, Vail Resorts, Ski Vermont, and Indy Pass! These passes are my superpower, allowing me to step outside my usual routine and explore new destinations. As a writer, these passes allow me to “drop the rope” new terrain and share it with you.
