2018-19 was the first full season for Tenney Mountain, near Plymouth, NH, after it closed abruptly in 2008. I had a great time at Tenney after a big snow storm in early March 2018 when the new owners finally could open for a few days after a few years of hard work to restore the place to working order. So I was excited that I could go back when both chairlifts and all trails were open on Sunday, 3/10/2019. It was a bonus that it snowed that weekend since my trip to New England was based on the dates of my daughter’s dance performance and spring break.
Tenney is an independent ski area that is completely “old school.” There are two slow fixed-grip lifts, mostly natural snow, narrow twisty trails as well as a few wider groomers plus trees, and only as much grooming as necessary outside of the “easy way down” trails. With 110 acres and 1400 ft vertical, but is little likelihood of a lift line even on weekends. For 2018-19, Tenney was open Wed-Sun once there was enough snow coverage.
For a little history about how Tenney was re-opened and more pics, check out my March 2018 trip report:

For people in eastern MA or NH who like Wildcat, Magic, or Mt. Abram, well worth checking out Tenney. The first lift-served ski area dates from the 1960s, but people started skiing on Tenney Mountain in the 1930s. One of the key people for Tenney was a 10th Mountain veteran. It’s great New England terrain. Have heard that more clearing will be done this summer in overgrown trees.
