My husband and I took the Mt Washington SnowCoach tour and we're so incredibly happy we did. Although we have visited other parts of Mt Washington this is our first time up the auto road and will definitely be back! Our tour guide, Pete was so knowledgeable with the history and very accommodating that he made the trip that much more enjoyable. The weather was your typical Mt Washington winter weather (snowy \\u0026 windy) which we expected so the views were a bit blurred but still stunning! We enjoyed every minute of our tour, from the ride up to fresh air with fresh snow and feeling like your in a real live snow globe \\u0026 the ride down, the entire experience was simply magical! Even the gift shop at the center was great with such nice gifts for purchase and the entire staff was so friendly and nice. I highly recommend adding this adventure to your NH trip as you will not be disappointed! We will definitely be back \\u0026 look forward to it!

Oh my goodness, we took a ride to the top and it was absolutely fabulous! The weather was perfect. Our driver was so wonderful. He gave us all kinds of information about things that I just hadn’t considered before that. It was wonderful to learn. And the views are to die…for watch out for the gusty wind because it can knock you over.?

All I can say is WOW!!!! From the moment we started up the Mt Washington Auto Road, I was thrilled to be going up the mountain in the winter!!!! Claude, our fabulous driver, told us so much history about the mountain while we traveled up. He is a lot of fun too!! I loved getting out of the van at 4,200 feet and taking in all the beauty of Mt. Washington. I highly recommend doing this. Remember, you only live once!!!

It was a amazing experience to clim the mountain in the snow with a van on tracks. So much fun. And the driver made it worth it also. Someone with knowledge to tell you history and stories. Ive been up the mountain many times during the summer. This winter ride was amazing and well worth the money

Super fun! Great tour guide driver. The only thing that we would have wished we have known was that the tour cut off early. We figure the weather was the issue but it looked clear skies. Just don't remember anywhere or the driver mentioning about not going all the way to the summit.

January 20,2023Amazing trip five miles up Mount Washington on the Great Glenn Snowcat. Tour guides Mark & Tim were amazing!!!! I thought I knew a lot about the Presidentials and this environment but they both brought so much more to the adventure. We had a magical snowy day up and didn’t get the views of a sunny day but I actually preferred this experience. Now I can plan going back on a clear day. Do this trip. I stayed overnight at the Glen House. Another plus!!!

I had booked the snow coach as part of my wife's birthday gift. It was our first time taking the snow coach up Mt. Washington. We didn't know what to expect, but we heard great things about it. There was a total of 6 passengers in our van and it was very comfortable. Our drivers name was Claude and he was a wonderful guide well versed on the history of Mt. Washington. Fortunately for us the weather conditions were perfect. There was no wind and the temperatures were relatively mild for Mt. Washington. The view of the surrounding mountain peaks and the valley below were breathtaking. If you are in the area I would strongly recommend taking a ride up on Mt. Washington aboard the snow coach.

The best cross country trails! I have been on the trails in the summer, excellent hiking. But in the winter the skilling is epic. They groom for skate and traditional. The trails are well marked and great for all abilities and ages! Can't beat the views!

Great ride- mild climbing and chill carriage paths/XC skiing trails for those not wanting to do more off-road cycling. Nice equipment and helpful staff. Beautiful setting and close to Washington Road entry to like then ride.

This place is so, so wonderful!! They take such good care of things. It's like being in Disneyland. Trail signage is great. The trails are super clean, well marked and challenging (as described in their literature). The bikes are new and have been maintained extremely well. Pricing is really competitive also. Staff members are helpful without hovering. They are extremely kind and courteous. We are glad we found them and will definitely be back!!

3/2/2022: Booked our trip a few weeks ago, helpful, patient friendly staff answered my very many questions with knowledge + ease.Rode up to the tree line end on the snow coach today. Awesome trip, Dave our driver was interesting, knowledgeable and a very careful, safe driver negotiating the sometimes treacherous terrain with skill. Stupendous views and gorgeous weather. On the way back down, my friend and I had opted to snowshoe and Dave was patient and helpful with the decision as we could not make up our minds where exactly to start our hike. Once we were dropped off the coach drivers all checked on us as they took turns on their routes. Great trip, great people, GREAT DAY!!!!

Reserved for 2/12/2022 ... I had an incredible time. This is my 4th time up Mt Washington but my first time during the Winter in the snow. Absolutely epic. Our tour guide, Ron, was super knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed hearing his knowledge and stories. If your just thinking about this .... do it. It's worth it for sure.

We took the Snow Coach up Mt Washington on 2/25/2022. We were excited as snow was expected and we thought that would make the trip even more fun! We were not disappointed! Rick our tour guide was fabulous! Will be back to do it again when we can go all the way to the summit

Had a good time. Snow Coach goes up to about 4000' or so, about 4 miles up the Auto Road, as it's too dangerous to go any higher and the only vehicle that does is the Snow Cat which takes the weather observatory crew up and down. It's quite bumpy and the van rattles loudly due to the tank tracks it drives in but you get used to it and it's not that bad. It's a great way to get to treeline on Mt. Washington in winter if you don't want to hike it (although you can opt to take the Snow Coach up and just snowshoe down). Our tour guide Bruce was very informative on the history of the Auto Road as well as the weather on Mt. Washington. We were able to get out for about 15 minutes at the turn around to standin the weather and experience the conditions before riding back down to the base. We had about 50mph winds and I'm estimating the temps at about 15° at that elevation the day we went (it was about 30° at the base) so nothing too extreme on that day (I'd say about average for that elevation). I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you like to experience wild weather!
