Pats Peak is less than 3 miles from Henniker House and Phil is their unofficial ambassador. Mid-week skiing is some of the best; tickets at a ski & stay rate that is about half of the weekend price and the mountain is not as crowded. Weekend ski & stay packages are also available with lift tickets at a 30% discount. Maple sugar - Nature's reward for enduring New Hampshire's winter.  The Indians called it 'sinzibukwud'.  In colonial times there was a plan to make America self-sufficient in sugar production by using maple sugar.  You can see maple syrup made the old-fashioned way and taste some treats when you come to Henniker House in March 2009.
