16,000 Visitors Increases Summer Visits By 11%

Mt.Washington Resort solidified its reputation as a year-round destination with a successful summer season.

Summer visits increased by 11 per cent over 1999, with approximately 16,000 people riding the chairlift, Marketing Manager Karen Bonell said.

"We had a great summer," she said. "We have a lot of people who come up here but don?t take the chairlift. Typically, that would be double; so we would be looking at 30,000 people up here this summer."

Several summer festivals padded that number as well.
