A Great Start to the Summer
2016-05-28 17:21:07.000 – Chris Hohman, Summit Intern
Hello everyone, my name is Christopher Hohman and this has been my first week on top of the windy summit. I’m going into my sophomore year at Plymouth State University and, I am currently working on my B.S. in Atmospheric Science. I heard about the Mt Washington internship through my professor Dr. Eric Kelsey and immediately applied. As a kid I’ve always been fascinated by not only the effects mountains have on weather, but specifically Mt Washington’s. I toured the facility with my Boy Scout troop when I first climbed the mountain, and immediately fell in love. It’s been my dream to work here as soon as I was able to, so ever since I was accepted it’s been like living a dream.
