Brookside is a short, flat cross-country ski route in New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest, within the Pemigewasset Ranger District. The trip is only about 0.6 miles long and gains about 15 feet of elevation. That makes it an easy outing, and the route is out and back, with the high point at about 1,619 feet and the low at about 1,603 feet. The ski season here is short and cold. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station, which sits about 400 feet lower than the route, put January highs around 26°F with lows near 6°F. By June, that station averages highs around 70°F, so the snow season runs from late fall through early spring. Two other ski routes, Perimeter and Esker, are each about 0.1 miles away. For fishing, Omni Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods, is about 1.5 miles off, and Sugarloaf 2 Campground is about 3.6 miles away.
