Winter: Skiing and Snowboarding. I believe there is also night tubing but you should confirm.
Summer: Soul Fest, a Christian "Woodstock" that takes place at the end of July/beginning of August. There is also a some summer stuff to do there. My favorite is the zip line. The zip line provides some stunning views of lake Winnipesaukee. There is an adventure park for some challenging terrain, an off-road segway tour, among other things to do there.
