Bretton Woods Nordic Ski Trail Map

Yes, the Bretton Woods "B&M Trail" follows (most of) the path of the branch from Fabyans to the Base Station. The ROW from the Mt. Washington Hotel area to Fabyans is obliterated by a golf course and road reconstruction. I do not know the status of the ROW past where the ski trail ends and the Base Station; I suspect it is identifiable if it is not passable.
