    Trails

    Terrain Description

    The terrain at Mount Washington is fun for all kinds of reason.  Being on an island skiing is unique to begin with, while if you are a fan of tree skiing, you will find a ton of it at Mount Washington and as you ski through it ask yourself "when is the last time I skied through a temperate rain forest."  Note how much character the trees have.   The backside of Mount Washington provides some challenging steeps into deep snow.
