Perimeter is a cross-country ski route in the Pemigewasset Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, about 0.16 miles from the start point. It is a short, flat out-and-back, with the high point at 1,610 feet and the low at 1,602 feet, so there is no real climb to it. Winter is the natural season for this kind of skiing. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station show January highs around 26°F with lows near 6°F, and February is similar at about 28°F and 7°F. That station sits about 415 feet higher than the route, so temperatures on the ski trail run a little warmer. Esker and Outlook are both cross-country ski routes within a third of a mile. Omni Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods, offers lake fishing about 1.2 miles away, and Sugarloaf 2 Campground is about 3.4 miles off.
