Mount Washington Alpine Resort - Overview
The Mountains
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.
