Mountain Meisters
Mountain Meisters is the longest-running winter race league in the U.S., bringing local skiers and snowboarders together for 53 years. Teams compete, but the real reward is being part of a tradition passed down through generations. Being a Meister is part of being a local.
Cranmore hosts Meisters every Wednesday for ten weeks. Participants get all-day lift access on Wednesdays, plus non-holiday Saturdays from 2–8 PM, and two tickets to Meister Clinics on Tuesdays throughout the season.
Early Season Clinics in December help racers get ready and start the season strong.
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, 2027 and October 15, 2027. Participation is not guaranteed, and selections will be finalized by October 15, 2027. 2026-2027 Pay2Play beneficiaries include: ACTS Service Dogs, LIFT Program Fryeburg Academy, Conway Historical Society, Kennett High School Project Graduation, Mt. Washington Valley STEM Expo, and Jen's Friends Cancer Foundation.
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*.
The 2027 race season begins Wednesday, January 6, 2027, and runs through Wednesday, March 17, 2027 (no race on February 17th). Each racer will take one run on each course. The course will be open from 9am-5:30pm.
