Cold Spring Road

Cold Spring Road is a short, easy cross-country ski route in New Hampshire, about 0.4 miles from the village of Dixville Notch. The out-and-back trip covers roughly 0.7 miles, with a high point of 1,925 feet and a low of 1,883 feet, so the climb is minimal at just 27 feet of elevation gain. The steepest stretch comes early on, at about 0.15 miles, with a grade of 13 percent. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Errol show January highs around 23°F and lows near 1°F, while July highs reach about 77°F. That station sits roughly 685 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the road run cooler. Golf Links Road, another cross-country ski route, lies about 0.3 miles away, and Abeniki is about 0.5 miles off. For hiking, the Peregrine Trail and Table Rock Trail #50 are both within a mile.
