Crossover #7 is a ski touring route in the Androscoggin Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, managed by the Forest Service. It sits about 0.1 mile from Huntington Rwat, the cross-country ski area, and is essentially a short out-and-back with no net gain or loss in elevation. The route is about 0.2 miles long, starting at roughly 3,286 feet and reaching a high of about 3,297 feet before returning to the same level. Winter is the natural season for this outing. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station, which sits well below the route, show January highs around 26°F with lows near 6°F, while July highs reach about 75°F. Because the station is far below the route, temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. Huntington Rwat is the closest neighbor, and Lions Head is a hike about half a mile away. Hermit Lake Complex offers camping about 0.6 mile off, and Huntington Ravine, a climbing area, is about a mile away.
