There’s something special about waking up in North Conway to silence — the kind only a fresh snowfall can bring. This week, that moment arrived in spectacular fashion. Overnight, the village transformed into a snow-globe scene, blanketed in soft powder that draped every rooftop, trail, and evergreen in sight. At Eastern Slope Inn, we felt the shift immediately: winter is here, and it’s breathtaking.
A Snow-Globe Moment in the Heart of the Village
From the Main Inn’s rooftop to the historic red barns and carriage paths that weave through the property, everything has taken on that unmistakable winter glow. Guests stepped outside to the crunch of fresh snow underfoot, the kind of sound that pulls you right back to childhood snow days and holiday mornings. North Conway has a way of doing winter better than anywhere else — and this storm proved it all over again.
Why This Snowfall Matters
Beyond its beauty, this early-season snowfall kicks off what promises to be an incredible winter in America’s #1 Ski Town. Skiers and snowboarders are buzzing, local shops have turned up the twinkle lights, and the entire Mount Washington Valley feels energized. For us at ESI, it marks the beginning of our favorite time of year — when families gather, traditions return, and guests rediscover the charm of staying right in the heart of the village.
Winter Amenities Ready for You
With the first big storm behind us, the property is officially in full winter mode:

🔥 The outdoor firepit is glowing in the evenings, perfect for cocoa and conversation.
🏊♂️ The indoor pool and indoor/outdoor hot tub are warm and welcoming after snowy adventures.

Everything you love about winter in North Conway is beginning to come alive, and Western Slope Inn puts you right at the center of it.
