Winter Trip Preparation

Summit View
The Obs staff is busy ramping up for a great line up of winter trips to the summit. As part of the preparation several of the Obs staff who generally work out of the Weather Discovery Center offices in North Conway, took a trip to the summit on Tuesday. The day could not have been more pristine with sunshine, over 70 miles of visibility and incredibly calm winds – it made it hard to imagine that we were at the Home of the World’s Worst Weather! For as many opportunities as I have to go to the summit there is never a time that I am not in awe of the experience and the beauty of what the summit of Mount Washington holds.
We have a great line up of day and overnight trips available but space is limited and these trips are selling out. Book your trip today and experience the beauty of Mount Washington in winter!
Happy Holidays.
Krissy Fraser, Events and Marketing Manager
