Winter is the perfect time to bundle up for some icy adventures around the White Mountains, and we're not just talking about skiing or snowboarding. You'll find a wide range of icy events to enjoy around the White Mountains all winter long, whether you're in the mood for an icy, illuminated nature walk, an ice festival with tons of different activities, or a snow sculpting competition featuring talented artists from around New Hampshire. Our real estate agents have all the details on these exciting events in our guide to icy adventures around the White Mountains this winter.

• Ice Castles – 24 Clark Farm Road, North Woodstock, NH 03262
  Looking for a new and different icy adventure to try? Ice Castles might be just the event for you, and you can find it at a convenient location near Woodstock homes for sale. This event combines exploration of beautiful, illuminated icy caves, caverns, tunnels, and archways, as well as a frozen maze filled with mysteries. And that's just the start!
  
  Whether you're racing down one of the carefully sculpted ice slides, zooming down the slopes on a snow tube, grabbing a drink at the Polar Pub, or being delighted by the Winter Fairy Village, there's so much to experience here for all ages. You can even book a sleigh ride or a private icy alcove for your own event. You can enjoy this fun event every weekend through February 23, 2025, and on select weekdays.

• Mount Washington Valley Ice Fest – North Conway, NH
  Every February, the popular Mount Washington Valley Ice Fest is held around the corner from North Conway homes for sale at multiple locations around the community. There will be three days of events from February 2-4, 2025, held primarily at the International Mountain Equipment store, as well as Ledge Brewing.
