Looking for a more exciting way to summit Mt. Washington? Come ski the Cog (with the clearly more fun group)!!

We'll be skinning up the Cog Railway on AT, telemark, and splitboards with the goal of reaching the summit of Mt. Washington. The forecast is for 8 inches of new snow this weekend making this the ideal Washington trip. Expect to skin up nearly 3 miles and ascend (and descend!!) 3500 ft!
