Operations Update Monday, 5/26/25:
As of 2pm, the Road is open to the summit (6,288 feet). Last car up by 5pm.

Road Crew’s clearing efforts were a success! Yesterday, they encountered 7-foot snow drifts past 5,800 feet. To contend with the May snow, the Pisten Bully came out of summer storage today to help with the final stretch. Thank you Road Crew! We can’t wait to welcome folks back to the top of the tallest peak in the Northeast. Hope to see you soon...

Guided Tours depart daily at 9am, 11:15am, 1:30, & 3:45pm, but seats are limited, so please book ahead: mt-washington.com/guided-tours/2-hour-tour
