Another great season up Mt Washington! Big crowds this season with all the new folks arriving on Vancouver Island. Great job keeping things going Staff!
Two beefs though:
1-Crappy snow reports on the website.
2-What's with people leaving their gear spewed all over the place at the lodge entrances? Use the racks! Irresponsibly leaving your gear laying around at facility entries creates a huge injury risk for anybody walking in the area during a snowfall.
I ski all over this province and this is the only place where I experience this rude behaviour!
Get out there and enjoy this gem of a ski hill!

The grooming these past 21/2 weeks has been the best grooming I’ve ever seen in the past 20 years. Pretty near every run has been groomed every day this past week and grooming has been a lot better quality. We have had low temps and frozen conditions so the groomed runs have been great.
I wrote an email to GM complaining about grooming on January 15th and received a prompt response about the difficulties they had encountered this season. But at that point it was the worse grooming ever and they were responsible for it. That said, the grooming since then has been the best ever even on weekdays. Thanks to all at the mountain who heard us. I’m sure word will get out.

The grooming at Mount Washington is the worst I've ever experienced. This season it has been hit and miss, usually amiss. I was told by staff that the groomers and mechanics are inexperienced, and it really shows. The new owners are not taking these complaints seriously and are in la-la-land about how to properly run a ski operation. Lately, it's not worth the trip up the mountain.

I drove from Victoria for a day of skiing on Jan 9. I arrived at the hill just before nine. It had snowed heavily the previous night and was continuing. I decided to rent skis, hoping that a wider ski might make my life easier. It was warm and the snow was like wet cement. I made two runs and knew that no grooming would likely be done that day and that my abilities were being challenged with the heavy wet snow. I returned my equipment and pass and inquired about a refund. I was told that while not guaranteed, it was likely. I filled out forms and was going to speak to the finance department. I was told they were busy, so left all contact info and was told they would be in touch. Two weeks later, nothing. I have called twice and left a number, nothing. I have become more and more frustrated with Mt. Washington over the past few years. I have been skiing here since 2004.

The maintenance crew at Mt. Washington is doing a horrendous job at grooming the runs this year. According to my calculations, they have been grooming only 60 per cent of the runs, and incredibly, leaving the top half of many runs ungroomed, which means skiers are having to go down ungroomed snow to get to the groomed bottom half. That is really unsafe, with kids enrolled in the ski school having to go through crud at the top of runs before getting to a groomed area. Many skiers whom I met in the parking lot are leaving the mountain after doing only a run or two because of these conditions. Last year, the grooming was far better, and I understand there are two new grooming machines this year. I and many others have raised this issue with Mt. Washington staff, only to fall on deaf ears. Come on, guys. Get it together.

I have been skiing at Mt Washington for the past fifteen years. There have always been issues with conditions but ever since new management took over last year those issues have gotten worse. Grooming being the biggy! Grooming has been cut back to half the runs or not at all where it was groomed in previous years. When asked, the hill either claims machines are broken down, or they have no operators available. Almost in the same breath... making me wonder what is going on. On Thursday, January 17th, it was the worst I have seen, I gave up and went home. I come from an hour away. I checked the website and it said there was fresh powder, but it was anything but fresh powder, it was heavy crud that had not been groomed overnight. I am paying twice as much for a mid-week pass (as last year) and am getting less than half the original service. Staff are pleasant and try to be helpful, but management of the hill sucks. Improvement badly required soon.

Terrible grooming; reports are not accurate. What a shame as last year was great but this year they're back to the old ways. When questioned they say it's hard to groom with the weather but they seem to be able to do great grooming in the board park. Too expensive to ski here to put up with this!
