Granite Gorge is a small downhill ski resort in southwest New Hampshire, United States. It is located on Pinnacle Mountain in the town of Roxbury, 5 miles (8 km) east of downtown Keene on New Hampshire Route 9.[1] The resort is the reincarnation of the former Pinnacle Peak Ski Area, which operated from 1959 to 1977.[2] The current resort opened in 2003.[3]
It has a 390-foot (120 m) vertical drop, one chairlift (the Pinnacle Express double chairlift), one rope tow, and one magic carpet. The ski area has snowmaking. The 50-acre (20 ha) site includes 14 kilometers of cross-country ski trails.[4]
Terrain parks at Granite Gorge include the signature VW bus and the Bag Jump. The resort offers Cosmic Tubing with glow lighting and a DJ on Saturday nights.
