Love Mt. Washington and can't wait for another excellent season! I've been coming here for 30 years now. Every year it gets better. Having said that, here are my suggestions:
1. Please upgrade the Sunrise Quad Chair. The best runs are on that lift but it is soooo slow. Number one wish of all my family and friends for sure! While you're at it, how about realigning the lift to go to the top of Schum's, that would be way better.
2. Easier access to the Boomerang. I'm a pretty good skier, hit all the black diamonds on the front side but trying to get myself to take the plunge from the Boomerang is not happening. You gotta have the courage to drop 3 or 4 feet on to a traverse that is maybe the same width. If you don't make it, ouch. Can you not terraform the top a little next summer to make an actual entry to the terrain?? Killing me man, I'm not 20 anymore to take those kind of chances but would love to ski the bowl.
3. Expansion. Ah, everyone wants this right? More terrain would be a bonus and it looks like there's some room. I've heard ski patrol mention thoughts of developing another face. Please do!!
4. New Lodge? The lodge is getting old and small fast. The bar is way too small. The menu is too small, need more choice!
Thank you,

The Mt (Mount Washington) is a great place to ski but the management is prob the worst I have ever seen as they think that it is the personal play ground. peter does a good job but his staff just below him are pulling his chain to let them do what they want. they all think it is there play ground. if they treated the over all staff better they would stay longer and they would have less traing costs
and would be able to work on exstending there knolage
to make them all better

Father's Day was a fun novelty weekend, snow didn't get too sticky as the sky stayed overcast. Limited runs, but tons of snow still...a bit of snowcat tweaking could have opened up a lot more terrain with very little effort. If one went off piste into the trees, you got rewarded with a base full of pitch which really slowed you down, so you have to clean your bases at least once a day. Sure appreciated the chair lift ride up, after hiking up for our turns after the mountain closed!

This is my first year back skiing the mountain after many years away. I have to give some feedback on the good and bad.
The good:
-Glad to see new terrain, and hopefully even more new terrain to open next yr.
-For the most part, the staff is very pleasant.
-Lots of snow this yr.
-Some great skiing this year.
-Glad the mountain extended the skiing to the end of April. Would be great if it could stay open longer (hint, hint).
The bad:
-People smoking right at the front door...soooo nice to get a lung full of smoke.
-Snow boarders getting off the lift and plop themselves down wherever they please so I have to go through a maze to get down the hill kinda sucks.
-It would be cool to see some new volunteers like Mountain Host's skiing the hills and answer questions, enforce some ski etiquette rules.
-Lack of seating area outside of the lodge. The only picnic table belonged to the bear-claw place.
-The liftee's for the most part were great. But my experience in asking some of them questions regarding the mountain was pretty bad. I'm just told "I don't know" and they don't seemed to interested in learning about the mountain. I suggest the management at the mountain have some better training for them. I know it's hard to find good help and these liftee's work cheap, but that really isn't my problem.
-Parking kinda stinks.
-Lack of signage at the exterior of the lodge was disappointing.
-Night skiing kinda sucked. Maybe I am used to mountains having all the terrain open for night skiing. I understand it's a big mountain but there could be some more runs open for the evening.
-Ticket prices were high.
Overall, the year was great, but things could get better. I think it's an ownership issue. People tend to blame management but my experience with them has been great. Hope next year has a great snowfall.
Cheers.

Well, I see lots of whining, and a few well deserved compliments on here. Skiing is a high risk sport, and quite a few injuries, as well as a few fatalities do happen. I personally think the mountain does a great job at balancing safety with customer service. A perfect example is that if you want to venture out into the back-country/out of bounds, as long as you're prepared (avi beacon, shovel, probe, etc), you won't get in a big hassle over it. This year was a record breaking year for snowfall, and I personally have 29 days in (gonna get that last one to make it 30 the last weekend the mountain is open) so far, and that is an excellent value for what I pay for my mid-week pass, which is why I'm a 9 year season pass holder. So, to mountain staff reading this, you deserve a pat on the back, and keep up the good work. I'd go up and say it personally to you, but I wouldn't want your heads to swell. Overall, I give the mountain an "A" rating.
