A great Father’s Day- Skiing at Mount Washington

By Keith and Heather Nicol

It was a big surprise when Mount Washington Alpine Resort decided to open for the Father’s Day weekend. We took advantage of the better weather (but much bigger crowds) on Sunday , June 19 to get in a few runs off the Whiskey Jack chair. I was amazed at the good snow coverage and generally good skiing. Of course with the warm temperatures the snow turned slushy fairly quickly but it was still very acceptable skiing given the date. It may be a first for me...Alpine skiing in June!! 

 So hats off to Mt Washington for doing an impromptu opening like this.  Mt Washington has its typical summer offerings like mountain biking, sightseeing, zip lining etc unfolding as the snow melts and the weather warms so have a look at their web site for special events and activities- https://www.mountwashington.ca/   See you up there.
