Ted’s Bar & Grill presents
1979
Season Opener Party
Party like it’s 1979.
When the outfits were louder, the prices were lower, and Mount Washington was just getting started.
Join us at Ted’s Bar & Grill for a throwback celebration to kick off the winter season, with 70s-inspired food specials under $5 and DJs spinning funk, soul, and disco throughout the day and into the night.
Dust off your best retro ski gear, bring your crew, and get ready for a full day of old-school mountain après.
10:00 AM until Midnight
Mount Washington Alpine Resort
Just bring the good vibes (and the bell-bottoms).
