Description · generated

Whaleback Mountain is a small ski area in Enfield, New Hampshire, in the Dartmouth-Sunapee region of the state's western side. It is listed on the Indy Pass. The structured data gives no figures for vertical, acreage, lift count or snowfall, so none are stated here. Trails named on the operator's map include Ivory Run, Bougainvillea and Spout, and the mountain has terrain parks. Uphill travel by skinning or snowshoeing is permitted with an uphill pass, and during operating hours it is restricted to a marked skin track on Ivory Run.

Frequently Asked

Where is Whaleback Mountain?
Whaleback Mountain is a ski resort in Dartmouth-Sunapee, New Hampshire. Coordinates: 43.60° N, 72.18° W.
How much snow does Whaleback Mountain get in a typical season?
At the Mascoma River NRCS station (1,400 ft), the 1991–2020 median snow depth peaks at 20 inches around Feb 13; that is depth on the ground at one elevation, not seasonal snowfall.
Which ski pass covers Whaleback Mountain?
Whaleback Mountain is on the Indy Pass, per the pass's published resort lists. Blackout days and partner-day limits vary by pass tier; check the pass site before you go.
What is the base depth at Whaleback Mountain today?
As of 9:48 a.m. MT Oct 20, the SNOTEL sensor at the Mascoma River station (1,400 ft) measures a 0 inches base at Whaleback Mountain.
Where does Whaleback Mountain's snow data come from?
From the NRCS snow-telemetry station assigned to Whaleback Mountain. PeakCam syncs it every six hours and runs range and spike quality checks. When at least two unflagged on-mountain user reports land within 24 hours, they can move the condition rating by one tier — they never change the depth number. Sensor readings can differ from the resort's own report, which usually quotes the upper mountain.
