February Field Trip – Mt. Washington
Feb 17 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
February Field Trip - Mt. Washington @ Mt Washington

This month we’re heading up to Mt. Washington.  Take your skis, cameras, snow tires!  Have fun in the snow and hope for a sunny day with blue skies. Getting to the ski area on a busy Sunday will be challenging. It’s best to carpool and go with someone who has the right vehicle for that road and has done it before. Also, if the weather for another day looks more promising, that might be worthwhile considering.

It will be crowded so find a lunch spot in a cafeteria or meet down in Courtenay, there are tons of great spots.
