We hope you join the Mount Washington Avalanche Foundation, the MWAC Forecasting Team, ESAW Speakers, and our amazing sponsors to kick off the winter season with a bang at one of the best breweries in town. Food trucks, live music, gear tents, and local beer will be in abundance!
Note: This schedule is subject to change.
A note about lunch:
There are limited options for lunch immediately in Fryeburg and Conway is just far enough away to stress the lunch timeframe. Please consider packing lunch, picking something up ahead of time, or placing an online order to speed up the process. There will be many people looking to get lunch from the same spots. Here is a map of the closest lunch spots.
ESAW is a non-profit venture of the Mount Washington Avalanche Center Foundation.
All profits go to support the mission of the Mount Washington Avalanche Center: avalanche forecasting, outreach and education, and search & rescue.
