Abenaki is a cross-country ski route in New Hampshire, about half a mile from North Conway. It is a short, flat out-and-back, with a high point of 534 feet and a low of 532 feet, so the climb is nearly nonexistent. The route is about half a mile long, and the steepest stretch is a 2% grade at the start, which makes it an easy addition to a day spent in the area. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in North Conway show January highs around 30°F with about nine snow days, while March still averages seven snow days. Snow days drop to zero from May through September, when the station records highs in the 60s and 70s. Two other cross-country ski areas sit just 0.1 mile away: Eastern Inns and Wellinghurst. Climbers can head to WM: North Conway, about 1.7 miles off, and anglers can reach the Saco River, roughly 5.4 miles away.
