HIRE A GUIDE WITH EASTERN MOUNTAIN SPORTS CLIMBING SCHOOL
The Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce highly recommends the hiring of a guide for any outdoor adventure that leads you into the woods.
Not only will you be supporting the Valley's local economy, which is substantially made up of those dedicated to outdoor recreation, but you'll also be ensuring a successful trip through safety, and technical training.
One option is Keith Moon of Eastern Mountain Sports Climbing School.
Operating out of Norcross Circle, in the village of North Conway, with a retail shop just a few miles south in the downtown village of the town, Keith is the manager and lead guide at the sports school.
Guiding and living in Mt. Washington Valley since 2008, Keith made his way east from Minnesota. When asked why he decided to veer east instead of west, like many of his counterparts did, he answered that it was the rugged terrain the East Coast is known for that swayed his decision.

Conway Voters:
I would greatly appreciate your consideration of a YES vote on Article 6 Workforce Housing, Article 22 Public Restrooms in North Conway Village, Article 29 allowing Keno and Article 30 allowing sports betting on April 12.

We're doing more with less and the eyes that are on our content are interacting more. And the only worthwhile follower is the one that engages.
I expect an uptick for the summer. I also think the more we perpetuate the Hire a Guide content, which is debuting in April, the more traction we will get.
