Perimeter

Perimeter is a cross-country ski route in the Pemigewasset Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, about 0.2 miles from the district's boundaries. The route is an out-and-back, roughly 0.46 miles long, and the elevation change is almost nothing: it rises about 2 feet from the start to a high point of 1,602 feet, then returns to nearly the same level. It's rated easy, and the climb is flat. For skiers, winter is the natural season. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station put January highs around 26°F with lows near 6°F, and March highs around 36°F. Summer at that station runs in the mid-70s, but it sits about 420 feet lower than the route. Esker and Outlook, two other cross-country ski routes, lie just 0.1 and 0.2 miles away. The Omni Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods Campground, is about 1 mile away.
