My wife and I and our dogs will be there. This will be our 4th year going. Because of the dogs we will not be going up the mountain this year, but will be there for everything else. It is a great time.

Mini's on Top

That is the trip up Mt Washington, right? Any idea when they will close registration for this?

We always go up the night before and do the caravan from Minis of Bedford. Not sure what Attitash is like for rooms right now, but we always stay at the Bartlett Inn which is a few miles up the road. The owner is British and loves the cars and even had a professional photographer come one year. He gives a discount if you mention it is for MOT.

As far as registration goes, I think they stop it in early to mid-May, but not sure.

You should have fun...
Lots of stuff...from swap meets, to group rides, and unofficial stuff by some other groups....
The raffle, which is done as a fundraiser before the drive to the top can have some pretty good stuff...
The view at the top is a crap shoot....been there for beautiful days...last time I went it was foggy, and about 40° f with 40+ mph winds...burr!! Zero zero vis....

I'd like to join in on the fun but staying overnight is out. It's a long drive to Mt. Washington but the thought of connecting with 300 fellow Mini Cooper owners is very tempting. Just wish it wasn't so far away.

Do some folks only go up for the Saturday activities?

FastMiniS,

How far away are you? I've never been to the event but am really looking forward to meeting up with other MINI owners. I live in Northern Maine and my friends don't get me up here. They all have GMC pickups with plows! I have always loved small hot hatch backs and imports.

You should try and drive over into the area as there are a number of group drives over the weekend.

Ok will there's like 4 official drive ups to the hotel up there the day before. Depending on what I'll be doing with my dog, will determine where we are staying. Im thinking from this form alone we are having about 4/5 Minis going so far. If you guys want, send me ur first name and number in a PM. On Sat I'll make sure to text everyone so we can all meet up if you want. I hope the JCW is here by then lol.

I'm 5 hours away. If it was, say, 2 hours, I'd do it. Just too long a drive if I'm only doing Saturday activities. I'm always trying to find more local Mini events.
