Whether you're an alpine skier looking to make the transition into the backcountry or a seasoned ski mountaineer, the Mt Washington Backcountry Ski Festival has a variety of options throughout the weekend. Have an adventure in the White Mountains while you learn new skills during full-day courses! Our experienced guides will be leading skiers in sessions geared for different interests and skill levels, such as Intro to Backcountry Skiing; Avalanche Awareness & Rescue; and Ski Mountaineering. Festival participants can also ski on their own, enjoying beautiful terrain and gear demos. You can also join us at the après ski social hours and evening events.
All proceeds from the evening raffles and silent auction at the Mt Washington Backcountry Ski Festival will go towards Granite Backcountry Alliance and Friends of Tuckerman Ravine. Over $5000 has been raised for these two non-profits since the 2017 festival!
Three days of avalanche education with beacon/probe/shovel rental and full festival access.
Ranging from Intro to Backcountry Skiing to Ski Mountaineering. 1 and 2 day options.
Test out the latest backcountry skiing & riding gear whether you need to upgrade or want to try for the first time.
