Crotched Mountain is a mid-sized New England ski area that sits on the peak of the same name near Francestown, New Hampshire. The ski area reopened in 2003 after a long period of being closed. The new ski area has 23 named runs with more planned, a vertical of 1016 feet and a skiable acreage of 75 acres. If you’re coming out to try out the new mountain, you’re going to want to stay someplace other than the back of your car. Here are some options for Crotched Mountain lodging.
