We are SO back! Get your skis onto the snow this weekend at Mount Washington for the first of our early opening bonus days, from November 30th to December 1st, 2024. The snow gods delivered the goods over the last few weeks, stacking up our snow base from the Hawk/Nordic plot at 144 cm, to the mid-mountain Whiskey Jack plot of a whopping 258 cm. This is the resorts earliest opening in over 8 years... Vancouver Island is lusting for La Niña.
