Eskersion is a short, out-and-back cross-country ski route in the Pemigewasset Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. The route is about 0.28 miles long, with a high point of 1,629 feet and a low of 1,599 feet. The climb is flat, and the total gain and loss are each about 34 feet, so the route is essentially a short loop with a slight rise and fall. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station show January highs around 26°F and lows near 6°F, with February similar at about 28°F and 7°F. The station sits about 400 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. The route sits close to two other cross-country ski areas, Outlook and Brookside, each about 0.1 mile away. Omni Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods, offers lake fishing about 1.4 miles off, and Sugarloaf 2 Campground is about 3.5 miles away.
