Once we arrive at the summit, we will be greeted with snacks and hot drinks by the Observatory staff, and they will help us settle in and relax for the evening. After introduction, a safety briefing and tour of the facility, we will unwind and relax.  Dinner is prepared family style, and no one leaves hungry!  

After a good night's sleep in the communal bunks, we will have a hearty breakfast and ready for the amazing experience of skiing off the Summit of Mount Washington, with fresh legs!  We have lots of options for skiing back to the bottom which will be determined by the weather, avalanche conditions and group abilities/ desires.  We will return to the parking lot mid to late afternoon where we will celebrate and say our goodbyes.
