Gunstock Ski Resort Reviews

great time even tho I couldnt ski, little ones loved the slopes and I have been coming since I was 2, 28yrs and counting

Was there with family over President's weekend. Conditions were very good. Staff was exceptionally helpful. A great value for the money. We all had a great time and look forward to our next visit, soon.

Excellent Mountain offering a variety of trails with varying levels of experience.

I was drawn to your resort by a commercial and decided to check out your website to see what you had to offer. I saw a flyer about a summer festival today that advertised activities, carnival food, horse drawn carriage rides, etc. It looked like a beautiful place so I decided to take a ride there with my five year old. I have never, in my 33 years of life on this earth, encountered such a blatant tourist trap. Droves of people with children, on a hot summer day, showed up expecting a festival but were met with poorly-thrown-together craft activities, such as painting dinky rocks, in a hot, stuffy room. To make matters worse, you look out the window and there were obstacle courses, climbing walls, and playgrounds very attractive things to children. You offered activities that might hold a child s attention for ten minutes, at best, and dangle an amusement park in their faces that many parents were likely unprepared to pay for. Not to mention, such attractions required sneakers to participate in so even if you had the means to pay the $50 it costed for a pass, you re SOL if your kid showed up in flip flops. Thankfully I saw a lake on the way there and was able to redirect my child to avoid driving home disappointed. But let me tell you the amount of parents I saw leave your resort disappointed, likely unable to afford your absurdly priced passes or who brought children not even old enough to participate in ANYTHING you had to offer, makes my stomach turn. I hope it was worth the people you managed to successfully bait. I almost considered buying my son some sneakers and driving back but I would rather spend my money elsewhere. Shame on you, fire your event coordinator, and do a better job next time. Thank you for the rock.

Skiiing is great. However, save your money and time if you want to go tubing. Your backyard would probably give you more thrills. Everyone was getting stuck midway and dragging their tube. I have heard previous years were amazing. Apparently this year they had machine issues and cut the track in half but forgot to compensate the steepness.

An awesome experience. Lift was super beautiful with all fall colors.

This is a fun place and have unlimited passes for the day.

Beautiful location up the hills. I an excellent view of the nature and pleasant atmosphere.

Lots of fun. Many activities for kids to do in the great days of summer in NH. The mountain coaster, bungee jump, tube slide, water balloon launch play ground were all fantastic. The staff was friendly, super helpful and patient. No lines, no waiting for the activities. Do yourself a favor and take the ski chair lift to the summit and take in the breathtaking view of the lakes region of New Hampshire. The facility, staff and park are a 10/10.

Mid week is the best. 5 runs from the top in one hour. 1" new powder at the base and 3" at the top.

Lots of fun outdoor activities. Wish we could have done the zip line.

Nice fast quad to the top and really fun glades when open, usually after a good snow fall.

Headed up to Gunstock on a Sunday for my first ski lesson. Did some research beforehand regarding bundled pricing for rentals, lift tickets, and instruction. Their start times for time ski lessons are advertised as every half hour which was great.

Arrived at 915 and some staff directed me downstairs to the rental and lift ticket counters. Line was long and took about an hour to get to the counter. Each group transaction took around 10 minutes as the system was fluky. Not much in the way of boot or ski fitting but the staff was friendly. Got kitted out but not told where to go.

Find out where the lessons are located and make my way up to the spot at 1030. No real structure. They stated that their beginner lessons usually are at 10, 12, and 2. No instructors around. Stand and wait until about 1115 when an instructor sidled up to the group and introduces herself and a partner. Going to split the large group of 10 into two groups but then she gets pulled away to do something else.

Our instructor was very personable but with that large of a group it was tough to really get substantive teaching done. He did his best but ultimately was left feeling like my money wasn't terribly well spent. 3 runs on the small slope to practice and then going up the lift seems like pretty minimal for 90 minutes.

Ended up leaving 3 stars instead of 2 as the crowds and snow conditions weren't their fault. But an extreme lack of organization inside and out definitely made it a less than fun time. Not likely to return.

Grew up at Gunstock. Family friendly, always something to do, best place for fun in any season!

We visited in a craft fair weekend and it was busy but alot of fun. Zip line was fast to get onto and alot of fun

So much fun to go skiing! If you've never tried before, it can be difficult to learn, but it's well worth it.

Very exciting thrills here. Great place. Friendly staff. AWESOME mountain coaster is a blast.cant ride just once. Lol

We had a family day tubing and everyone had a blast!

Ski here every year it has always been fun.
We loved our first time on the mountain coaster this year. We also loved the fact our 3 year old was able to ride coaster.

Love snowboarding this mountain. No matter how busy the mountain accommodates for everyone very well. I highly reccomend this resort if you haven't been.

Brought my family of first time skiers and everything was great! Every employee was beyond helpful and very patient for a busy holiday weekend. There was a bit of a line for rentals but again everyone (staff) had a smile on their face. Over three days of group lessons my husband went from the bunny hill to intermediate!! We did get luck and had great snow- no ice. Lodge food was expensive but price for everything else (lesson, lift, rental) a bargain! Will definitely go again and again!

Standing in line for over an hour to get lift tickets because there were only 2 windows open (on Sat 1/20) was not a great start to a day! Don't bother buying lunch, pack your own. Yep stood in line for another hour for a Cheeseburger!!! On a busy Sat Gunstock thinks its a great idea to cook to order. With more than 20 people in line for food they would only put one patty on the grill, wait for it to be done before starting next order!!! Not to mention the kid behind the counter seemed to high as a kite. $12 for a cheeseburger that sucked royally Oh and if you want fries you had to wait in another line.
Conditions on the slopes were perfect as they usually are but when you have kids who are hungry and no where to sit to eat after standing in ski boots for a hour it put a huge damper on the day

Great conditions, plenty of lifts and good drinks at the bar!

DISCLAIMER: Never been here to ski. With that being said, their summer offerings are excellent. A complete zip line tour, Segway tours, and a fairly large adventure park with options for kids and adults alike. Gunstock has a great understanding of how to do summer right in New Hampshire.

Fun tubing! The lines weren't bad at all on a Sunday. Highly recommend it.

Beautiful area and sites are very nice where we were in the Safari field.

I used to come here in high school for ski club and it was wonderful then and is still wonderful now. It has everything you would look for in a mountain and is incredibly well priced, particularly the night skiing. I would highly recommend it! We go here almost every year.

It's a great ski area with lots to offer to everyone in the family. Come up for some winter fun!

Tons of options and things to do at the resort from the tavern, sled rides, skiing, snowboarding, and the funnest thing of all Tubbing!!! The staff is friendly and well coordinated. Only thing I wish there was more of is more times during the week for tubbing during the week days.

Great camping site! Lots of activities and close to many other fun adventures!

Amazing and tentative staff. Clean rooms and wifi is available.

I love Gunstock, lots of stuff to do, coasters, zip lining, tree top adventure!! If you re planning on going zip lining be prepared to do some walking and climbing up a lot of stairs carrying you gear! It was awesome but I wasn t planning on all the walking and carrying my gear, if you have a bad back or trouble with stairs I don t recommend it, the service in the restaurant is awesome and friendly

Amazing activities! Very entertaining and enjoyable area for Soulfest events, ziplining, and aerial courses

I loved it because it was in a great location! I liked the adventure park

Well groomed facility and trails! The staff is what separates these slopes from every other!

Gunstock is an amazing resort. If you are a beginner or an expert Gunstock will meet your needs. Food is great and so is the skiing. The trails are groomed great and the lift is very quick.

For a family mountain it is great! Advanced skiers should go elsewhere.

Lots activities on the mountain - ski, snowboard, snow shoe, snow tubing, etc. Kid friendly too as it is equipped with slower and lower lifts that goes up to the mountain.

This mountain really needs modernizing. New trails, new equipment, better lifts, better park staff. They have one Olympian sized snow park and zero smaller jumps for kids/beginners. Day passes cost the same as much bigger/better maintained mountains.

Well maintained, friendly, family-friendly place to ski.

We did not stay long enough to check and try everything. We took the lift chair to go to the top. That was awesome!
I was every impressed by the equipments: the Zip line, the children's play ground and the toboggan.
A fun place to discover. The Nature and emotion lovers will highly appreciate.

Love this mountain. Lot of variety at a great price. Beautiful view of the lake. Many great memories here. Good for beginners through advanced. Lots of other fun stuff to do as well.

I went to the Aerial Treetop Adventure this weekend (8/22/2015) with my friend Lisa. We had a blast. This was way outside my comfort zone and I was definitely terrified a few times, but our guide Lauren did an amazing job helping me conquer my fears and tackle the obstacles on the course. I recommend getting there early if it is your first time, it got very busy and crowded as the day went on.

We attend Soulfest at Gunstock every year, and have a campsite for a week. I loved the zipline, and my husband and I both enjoyed the spectacular view from the summit.

We had a great time here and everyone we interacted with was very friendly. The roller coaster that comes down the mountain was more fun than expected but the real reason for going was the zip lines. There were 6 zip lines each getting better as we worked our way down the mountain. Awesome time and definitely worth the trip.

Overall, great! However, really long lines to buy tickets for night skiing and long lines waiting for tubing. Other than that, wonderful facilities and awesome runs!

Affordable small family resort with good snowmaking & grooming, nice amenities. Good for a Boston day trip.

Waitress was extremely rude! Food was good. Would not go back due to poor service and rude treatment.

It is not a 92 dollar mountain but if you get the flex card it makes it more affordable.

Great skiing. Really attentive customer service. Food in lodge is good but rather expensive.

Aerial Treetop Adventure was Incredible! Course is in the woods/trees (naturally) so your not in the full sun. I will say this: You MUST be in reasonably good shape (Strong upper body to complete the course). Ladders in the trees, etc.. If your deathly afraid of heights, heavy/pleasingly plump, or completely out of shape, this is NOT the activity for you. I will say though, after a few obstacles, you get more comfortable and completely focus on the obstacle ahead, not so much the height/elevation. I did not try the black course (+/- 80' in the trees) due to time (kids bored and waiting for the adults). I would allow at least 3-4 hours to run the full course and a break before the black course. All in all, great time and highly recommend it. We were able to get tickets the day of, but if you can, I would reserve tickets ahead of time. The Mnt Top Zip line was completely booked the day we arrived, so plan ahead!

Fantastic place! So much to do, from ziplines, mountain coaster, ski lift, rock wall climbing, to kayaking etc. ect! Was so much FUN!

Good enough. Very expensive out of the seasonal pass

Had an amazing experience! Camping grounds were really neat and organized, the staff was very helpful. The toilets were clean and maintained. For novice campers it's a good place to start. The activities in summer were awesome. The Zipline was thrilling with a view of several lakes. The tree top adventure challenging but very enjoying experience. Good place to get your mind clear and relax with your friends or family. We drove to White mountains to see the night sky, which was surreal and breathtaking. We stayed during the Bike week which caused the prices being higher than usual, so if you are not so much into motorcycles, avoid that.

Tubing was awesome!! Great place to bring a family!
