Tenney Mountain, NH
February 28th, 2003
Finishing up a week long winter vacation, I found myself with my dad at Tenney Mountain. This was our first visit to the mid-sized intermediate oriented ski area at the foothills of the White Mountains. After years of troubled ownership, Tenney found itself reopened for 2003. I found Tenney’s consistently intersecting trails to devalue the character of the terrain making the trail layout make like. Individual trails generally lacked character since most trails lacked individuality. Even those trails that were not bisected multiple times generally failed to offer any special topographical or visual features of interest. Tenney is a very affordable mountain that is excellent for families, first timers, beginners and intermediates. Hopefully Tenney can dial in on its niche and market to the correct audience as it is a good mountain but it lacks long term viability.
