Mount Washington

I’ve been here quite a few times, four or five times in the summer climbing up the mountain. When I was a kid I really loved feeding the whiskey jack birds there and I thought it was so cool that the mountain used to be a volcano. I stayed at a lodge there with some friends once and that was really memorable for me. In the winter I’ve been up there a few times to go tubing (I’m really scared of heights so that was freaky, but fun) and there was another time my family and I went up in July, found a few patches of snow and went sledding down them. (There’s an interesting story behind that.) Since I’ve been there so many times I don’t really have big plans for going anymore, I’d rather see some of the other mountains or glaciers.

This place is a magnet for snow, snow, snow, snow… and more snow!! They get hit so hard and with views of the ocean right there, it’s no wonder it’s on my list desinations! I atteneded a ski & snowboard swap earlier this season and a rep from the resort was there to tell me about how much pow they get- it’s amazing!! It was on my mind prior to talking with the rep, and on my list when I stepped away from the booth!

In both summer (walks on the mountain) and winter (snow) it’s a lovely place to visit.
