Snow Tube with the Family
Skiing and snowboarding aren’t really your thing? Fear not – you can still get outside and take part in winter fun! Snow tubing is the perfect alternative. Residents of Arbor View, The Pines, and Sagamore Court in Portsmouth, New Hampshire are in for a treat with McIntyre Ski Area (about 45 minutes away). They sell a limited number of tickets for each time slot to avoid overcrowding the hills, accommodates large groups, and offers a cafeteria with snacks to refuel!

Here are a few we love (for more information, check out our post about The Best Ski Resorts in New Hampshire!).

Saddle Up for Horseback Riding
They say there’s a first time for everything, and for many, horseback riding in the wintertime is definitely a first! There’s something special about riding outside through snow-covered trails – maybe it’s the bond with the horse, breathing in fresh air, or seeing trails from a new point of view.
Lucky 7 Stables in Londonderry, New Hampshire is a great facility that introduces horseback riding to riders of all ages and levels of experience. Get a leg up on your next adventure by checking out their 5-mile guided riding trail this winter!
