Imagine a place where you can make sweeping turns in fresh powder, while a maze of islands dot the sea far below. Mount Washington is ideally situated in the path of regular storms rolling in off the Pacific Ocean and is frequently home to the deepest snow-pack in North America. Combine that with an authentic island destination without the glitz of bigger resorts and you can be sure the focus is on your ultimate ski or snowboard experience.
