Hayes Copp Ski Trail is a ski touring route in the Androscoggin Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is an out-and-back that starts at about 1,263 feet and climbs to a high point of 1,810 feet, with a total gain of 1,285 feet over the course of the 6.3-mile round trip. The steepest stretch comes at about 1.3 miles in, where the grade reaches 16 percent. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station, which sits at a similar elevation, show January highs around 26°F with lows near 6°F, while July highs reach about 75°F. The station sits a few hundred feet higher than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run slightly warmer. The Hayes Copp Xc cross-country ski route lies just 0.1 mile away, and Barnes Field Campground and Dolly Copp are both within a third of a mile. The Great Gulf Link hike is about 0.9 mile off.
