Holy Chute is a cross-country ski route in New Hampshire, set within a Water Treatment Abatement Area. It is a short out-and-back of about 1.7 miles with a total elevation gain of 294 feet, and its difficulty is rated hard. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at 12% grade about 0.1 mile from the start, and the route reaches a high point of 819 feet. The most comfortable months for skiing are typically January and February, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs near 29°F to about 32°F and lows around 13°F to 15°F. That station sits at a similar elevation to the route, so these figures should be a fair guide for conditions on the trail. Several other cross-country ski routes lie close by. Grand View is about 0.1 mile away, and Home Run and Lower Bog Hill Run are each about 0.2 mile off. The Climb is roughly 0.3 mile away.
