Signature Events
School’s Out for Summer
All day | June 22–26
We all remember that feeling as kids when summer vacation starts, and we want to make it even better. That’s why we offer one free admission to the Mountain Adventure or Bike Park for local students from SAU9, SAU13 and SAD72.
New this year, residents of Carroll, Coos and Oxford Counties also receive 50% off Mountain Adventure Park or Bike Park admission.
UltraTrax

Looking for a real challenge? UltraTrax brings a full day of endurance racing and mountain adventure to Cranmore with options for 7, 14, 21 or 28 miles.
This event takes competitors across Cranmore’s ski roads, trails and wooded terrain with sweeping views of North Conway and the surrounding White Mountains.
Mountain Bike Fest
July 12
Demos, vendors, group rides and family-friendly fun all day. If you’ve ever been curious about the Bike Park, this is the day to find out what you’ve been missing.
Smoke on the Mountain

Because of its popularity, this year we will host two editions of Smoke on the Mountain, the annual Mountaintop BBQ at the Meister Hut.
