Raven Lodge is an impressive facility |
by Keith and Heather Nicol
Although winter
has gotten off to a slow start at Mt Washington, the cross country skiing has
been very good based on the days we have been skiing. We have been impressed
with grooming which has made the most of the snow and we have been blown away by
the great views from Raven Lodge and the trails. And we have been told that
some of the nicest skiing is in Strathcona Provincial Park which we haven’t
sampled yet since those trails need a bit more snow cover to fully open. We can’t
wait to try Paradise Meadows and the Lake Trail when they open up. Overall Mt
Washington has developed 55 kilometers of cross country ski trails and another
22 kilometers of snowshoe trails. Another bonus which we are looking forward to
trying is taking the Hawk Chairlift which allows you to access some cross
country trails higher up on the mountain. There aren’t many places where your
cross country ticket lets you ride a lift! Raven Lodge is a full service facility
where you can rent gear, register for a lesson, have a meal, relax in front of
the fire and even have a sauna! For more information see:
