Sweet to have the lifts open early for the season's pass holders, seems to me after having a pass for the last 12 years this was really nice and was great for those of us that heard about it via the grape vine. Not sure where the miss communication was?. Oh well, we went skiing with a couple of other pass holders. Sure, they lost a heap of money with that stunt. Where was staff (I loaded the Hawk chairlift myself?) Hope they don't shuffle their mismanagement woes and uneducated decisions onto the backs of us, the rate payers of mount Washington (season pass holders). Sheeez, thanks again?

Yesterday I bought a burger at Mount Wash. I've been eating here for the last 30 years and every burger I have ever had up here comes with a pickle (obviously). I've been to Whistler, pickles! I've been to Whitewater, pickles! Even Seymour has pickles on their burgers. Today I asked management about pickles; they told me to "not worry about it" really?! What kind of operation are you running!? Is there a conspiracy against me and my pickle? Well, hear this Mount Washington: once you are a pickle, you can't go back to being a cucumber. That is all, from a hungry friend.

Holly smokes, can't we all just get along. To another reviewer, yes, I do work on the hill to satisfy your curiosity, but is that relevant as we all have a right to express our opinions on this public web site. We can all learn from each other. I do think you are being a little paranoid as to staff using this site for a secret agenda as most of us are just trying to work and have fun. Re dads and the disput over names, does it really matter what we call Out of bounds runs??? Only point I can see is that if we need to explain to someone where someone is say for a rescue or meeting spot. Here's a few local names: from the top of the eagle dropping toward the boom the obvious chute that cuts the north face is "Heroin Chute". After you cross the traverse track that side cuts the upper hike chutes just outside the boundary is a tight chute called "Root Chute" then the face that everyone poaches just above the first gate into the Outback is "Woodies". Looking up at the north bowl from Thunderdome just lookers left of the north face is a rock pinnacle "Tele Spire" then a blunt rock face "Cougar Rock". The treeline to the left coming off the ridge is the "T1 trees" (even has a sign post if you look carefully near the top).. Looking up from the Makay load there is the big chute, yeah, the rad looking one "Beggin For It" and then some smaller chute lines to lookers left the "Beggin strips" then we hit the makay clear cut (the one everyone skiis) tucked around the corner and dumping out onto 9k is" Annias". Follow the height of land and you are on the burnt ridge. That should help if you need to call in with a location. Maybe next we can cover the sunrise ridge system. Feel free one and all to add in info and we can all work together. Have fun and play safe..
P.s. these names have been handed down from the beginning of Mt Washington's time from staff and local legends. Oh and yes, I started skiing here on opening day if you wondered.

Myself and family used to ski that terrain. However, it seems that we are in peril and possibly due for some type of accident. I suggest we all, yes you know who ya are, take just a few minutes to engage the brain, before opening the typewriter or mouth.

How dare you folks question these (KooKie) dad's names? They are obviously Mt Washy Loc's to the 10th degree. Proof:
1) Crazy "original" names for micro-terrain that everyone else has their own "original" names for... but they were there first (along with everyone else)
2) Name dropping Al, our glorious retired semi-pro (hey... do you guys know Douglas? Cooool...)
3) Telemark god complex ('nuf said)
4) Continuing the legacy of parents teaching their kids to make poor choices... Joining the hoards of gumbies hiking the N.Bowl sans any avy gear (real s-m-r-t)
5) Constant posts on snowforecast.com griping/bragging(?)/chattering about the hill and its radness or lack of radness (although this is appreciated for levity's sake)
6) And finally and most credible reason for them to be crowned Princes and Kings of the Mount Washington slack-country: Claiming (repeatedly) super-rad lines that have "traverse" in their super-rad name... that's super-rad... God bless the traversing masses of our beloved ski hill!
From all of us mere skiers, We Salute You!

Listen up, there's many off-piste runs up there that my boy and I have traversed, planked, slalomed and stove pipe pioneered over the years and we named them all after some good wholesome father son times like when my son stove piped down poppas pipes! We only ski out of bounds ala Aspen XXXtreme style and where no one can judge when we wanna stovepipe it or meat up with dirt and his dad on dirts dads meat curtains. These are the actual names of the runs out of bounds so if you wanna come play with the big dads then strap on your telemark skis and well show you Timmy's traverse.

Hey, I'm the dad hunter. Dads run is a figure of speach!
I grew up on the hill since I was two! I used to steal instructors lunches from beneath the staircase which was used as a lunch room for them.
I was in nancy green ski league. There were two chairs: the green and blue, then old thriller red came, that's when we noticed Timmy's traverse. I got spanked by my dad on Hamburger Hill for telling the secrets of his stashes, that is where the orange is now, or Sunrise chair etc!
Bottom line, mess with the Dads get the horn.
