La Beaupré

La Beaupré is a cross-country ski route in New Hampshire, about 17 miles from Derby Line, Vermont. The trail is an out-and-back of roughly 4.7 miles, with a start and finish at 990 feet and a high point of 990 feet, so it works as a loop. The climb is easy, with a total gain of about 533 feet over the course of the trip. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Newport, Vermont, put January highs around 23°F with snow on about 14 days, and February highs near 27°F. Spring thaws are slow: April brings highs around 51°F, with only about three snow days in the month. The station sits about 200 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. Les Épinettes lies just 0.1 mile away, and La Falaise and La Montée are each about 0.7 mile off. For a change from skiing, the Boucle Georges (Est) hike is about 1.1 mile away.
