Raven Lodge is a great facility |
The winter of
2015-16 is shaping up to be a good one for Mount Washington. The season started
before Christmas and the good weather from late December has been continuing so
far in January. We have been cross country skiing on both the 5th
and 7th of January and the whole trail system is open. That means
over 50 km of x-c ski trails and 18 km of snowshoe trails are ready for action. On
Thursday, January 7 there was a interesting mist hanging in the low lying area
in Paradise Meadows which made for eerie photos of the sun streaming through
the light fog. The skating lanes were fast and well groomed and we appreciated
the excellent classic tracks. Many people told us this was the best day of the
season and we had to agree that the skiing conditions were superb.

The x-c skiing is perfect at the present time |
And we love Raven Lodge which provides
excellent views of the surrounding mountains. 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!
So if you have
been thinking of getting out cross country skiing or snowshoeing-don’t delay since
the conditions right now can’t be beat. For more information see:
