Mountain Meisters
Mountain Meisters is the longest running winter race league in the US. For the past 53 years, 350 local skiers and snowboarders create teams to compete for the title, but more importantly, the community comes together to enjoy a tradition carried on by generations of Valley locals. Being a Meister is part of being a local.
Cranmore hosts Meisters every Wednesday for ten weeks each winter. Participants get a pass that allows lift access all-day Wednesday and two tickets for Meister Clinics offered throughout the season.
Meister Clinics are offered throughout the season with additional Early Season Clinics in December to get the race season started on the right foot.
Pay2Play
Cranmore Mountain Resort is proud to support Mount Washington Valley non-profits through the Mountain Meister Race Series. Each week, Meisters can donate $5 at the start shack for a third run as part of the Pay2Play Program, with all proceeds benefiting a local charity. Non-profits interested in being considered as a beneficiary can apply between July 1 and October 15. Participation is not guaranteed, and selections will be finalized by October 15.
APPLYMeister registration includes lift access from 9am-8pm on Meister Race Days, weekly raffles and après entertainment, two in-season Tuesday Race Clinics with lift access, pre-season clinic prior to Christmas, and Twilight skiing from 2pm-8pm on non-holiday Saturdays*.
