Les Épinettes

Les Épinettes is a cross-country ski route in northern New Hampshire, about 18 miles from Derby Line, Vermont, the nearest town. The trail is an out-and-back of about 2.2 miles, with a high point of 1,200 feet and a total elevation gain of 308 feet. The climb is back-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.94 miles, and the route is rated easy. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Newport, Vermont, show January highs around 23°F with about 14 snow days, while March still brings eight snow days. That station sits roughly 410 feet lower than the high point, so temperatures on the route run cooler. La Montée and La Falaise are both cross-country ski routes about 0.1 mile away. For hiking, Boucle Georges (Est) is about half a mile off, and Sentier Pic De Wippi is about 0.6 mile away.
