With that in mind, we’ve set our opening day for the 2009/10 winter season for Friday, November 27th. We have our full arsenal of snow guns ready to go, and as long as Mother Nature cooperates we will start blowing snow any time after November 1st. This will give us close to three weeks to prepare the mountain for the best opening day possible. It’s time to get excited… the 2009/10 winter season here at Bromley is about to begin!

Scroll down for Bromley Mountain Information, Reports & Events!
Bromley Mountain has 45 classic New England trails and glades with a variety of terrain that is seldom seen elsewhere. It is perfect for skiers & riders of all ability levels from first timers to those who crave the gravity-adrenaline rush. Because Bromley is a south-facing mountain (the only one in New England), don't forget your sunblock and shades to be prepared for some of the sunniest, most comfortable skiing and riding you'll find anywhere in the East.
Family Activities:
Thanks to the swiftness of Bromley's high-speed quad (6 minutes from base to summit) skiers and snowboarders are getting up and down the mountain faster than ever before. So much so, in fact, that they're liable to find themselves with some extra, non-slope time on their hands. Fortunately for them, Bromley is literally surrounded by a host of alternative activities, including ice skating, sleigh riding, snowmobiling, shopping, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing!
If carving figure eights is your thing, then you'll want to check out the great ice at the Riley Rink at Hunter Park, in Manchester. A new, state-of-the-art facility, Riley Rink at Hunter Park is the home ice for several community hockey and skating leagues, and offers public skating hours at various times throughout the week. Call 802-362-0150 for hours and schedule of events.

Located on Route 11, in Londonderry, there's the Taylor Farm (pictured at right), 802-824-5690, and in Landgrove, Karl Pfister offers rides 824-6320. A few miles up Route 30, in Rawsonville, Deb Hodis operates Horses for Hire, 802-297-1468, which she has owned and operated for over a decade.
Cross-country ski centers abound in the Bromley area. The closest is Wild Wings, 802-824-6793 right in Peru, and is run by longtime friends of the Bromley Outing Club, the Black family.
