I continue to wonder how the Mount Washington stays in business. Most days when I see it go by there does not seem to be enough people aboard to even pay for the fuel. I hope it is here forever. and I think that it is a great way for tourists to see the lake. but in reality it is one more example of the difficulty of operating a profitable business in the Lakes Region.
I do not mean to be negative but I do understand the difficulties that every business and property owner in the Weirs Beach area faces.

Please note that many other businesses in the other towns on the lake have learned to survive in the winter. Further, the price of land/buildings in the Weirs will fall until it is possible for businesses to become viable. It doesn't make sense that all the other businesses in towns on the lake can be viable and the Weirs' businesses can't.
