Mount Washington: Inukshuk Building Contest

add to outlook add to google calendar remind me

Saturday, August 1st, 2015
11:00 AM to 5:00 PM

An Inukshuk can be small or large, built from whatever stones are at hand; each one is unique. The arrangement of stones indicates the purpose of the marker, e.g. the direction of arms and legs could indicate an open channel for navigation, or a valley for passage through the mountains.


One without arms, or with antlers affixed to it, could act as a marker for a cache of food. An Inukshuk is a comforting sight to a traveller on a featureless and forbidding landscape. Take the Mile High Scenic Chairlift Ride to the summit of Mount Washington and use the rocks around the Inukshuk building grounds to create your own, unique structure. Take a photo of your creation and email it to [email protected] for a chance to win two winter lift tickets for the 2015.16 season!


Free to participate with the purchase of a Mile High Scenic Chairlift Ride ticket.
