Are you looking for a place to get some great use out of your snow skis?  Stonehurst Manor is definitely the place to be in this frosty time of year to get some last minute North Conway snow skiing in.  Spring is just around the corner so you need to take advantage of all the winter activities North Conway has to offer this season.

The forecast ahead shows some chilly weather and hopefully some more bright powder for your freshly waxed skis!  If you think it’s too complicated to book hotel tickets and get ski tickets, then please think again.  If you’re interested in a little rest and relaxation, a stay at Stonehurst Manor offers discounts to Cranmore Mountain where your purchase could include two Cranmore all day tickets.  Do you love snow skiing but maybe want to take a break from it?  When you want a change in action from skiing, snow tubing is also available at Cranmore at the very low price of $18.  All you have to do is pack a quick weekend suitcase, get your skis on top of your car and enjoy a scenic ride to the Manor where we will welcome you to stay with us.

Stonehurst is also proud to say we have recently added our signature homemade pasta to the menu.  This delicious indulgence is made on site in our kitchen by our staff.  How about some tasty bread with your pasta?  Well lucky you because we also make our own sourdough bread which is baked to perfection in our brick oven to ensure the fresh flavor!  We have a whole list of Italian foods which are sure to ease your appetite after a long day of snow skiing and to rejuvenate you for your next day on the slopes.

Call us at 800-525-9100 for some North Conway snow skiing where you can get the most out of this winter season.
