Pats Peak is an independent alpine ski resort in Henniker, New Hampshire, in the United States. The ski area opened in 1963 and has a vertical drop of 770 feet (230 m). It is roughly a 90-minute drive from Boston, Massachusetts.[1]
The four Patenaude brothers bought the original 200-acre (0.81 km2) plot of land for the Peak from their father, Merle Patenaude. It has been owned continuously by the Patenaude family since it opened, with three original owners selling their parts of the land to the fourth.[2][1] The resort has become a popular destination for night skiing.
