Mt. Washington skiing open for Father’s Day weekend; dads ski for free

As a long spell of cold, wet weather stretches into the late spring, Mt. Washington has announced it will be reopening for skiing during this year’s Father’s Day weekend.

“So, you know how everyone is talking about the interesting island weather keeping us on our toes? We’re rolling with it,” Mt. Washington staff said.

“Get your toes back into those ski boots and feel the rush of sliding down snow one last time before bike and beach season is in full force.”
