Dexter's Inn, a historic country resort-inn with beautiful views and expansive grounds, has partnered with Norsk, one of New England's best-known cross-country ski operators, to provide an on-site commercial cross-country ski & snowshoe center in the Lake Sunapee region of central New Hampshire just minutes from the Mount Sunapee downhill ski area. Officially known as Dexter's Inn Trails by Norsk, the nordic operation includes a groomed network of trails, equipment rental, lessons and a small ski shop. The trail system begins right at the inn's backdoor, extends through our 20-acre estate, and continues into the surrounding conservation land. Visitors often comment on the panoramic view, the idyllic pastoral setting, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Dexter's x-c ski & snowshoe trails wind their way through forests & fields with minimal road crossings, and are designed to have that old-time natural feel. The experience is quite different from skiing on a golf course, frozen pond, or public park. The 1,350 foot elevation and attention to grooming enable conditions that are not found in many locations. The trail network offers a variety of terrain that allows first-timers, novices, intermediates, and advanced skiers to all find something to enjoy.
