They developed a new way of valuing money: the gold standard. Though financially, the gold standard is past its prime, the use of it as a phrase to denote unparalleled excellence remains. For example, when the Mount Washington Hotel opened in 1902, it set the gold standard for grand hotels and resorts.

    Draft DARP December 2020 DRAFT DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND RESTORATION PLAN for the OMNI MOUNT WASHINGTON RESORT #6 FUEL OIL DISCHARGE Bretton Woods, New Hampshire December 2020 Prepared by: United States Fish and Wildlife Service [i] Draft DARP December 2020 DRAFT DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND RESTORATION PLAN FOR THE OMNI MOUNT WASHINGTON RESORT #6 FUEL OIL DISCHARGE BRETTON WOODS, NEW HAMPSHIRE Note to Reader: The following is the draft Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan (“DARP”) for the Omni Mount Washington Resort #6 Fuel Oil Discharge (the “Incident”) that occurred in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, and that was first observed on May 29, 2018. Executive Summary: This draft DARP has been prepared by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”), on behalf of the Department of the Interior (“DOI”), the Natural Resource Trustee (“Trustee”), to address natural resources and services injured or lost due to the release of #6 fuel oil (“Bunker C”) at or from the boiler house at the Omni Mount Washington Resort, located in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. On May 29, 2018 at 11:31am, federal and state agencies were notified of a release of #6 fuel oil from the boiler house of the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire (“Site”). The Incident may have been ongoing since winter 2017-2018, and had been discovered in late May 2018 due to warmer weather. The oil originated from an unknown location under the boiler house and migrated to adjacent wetlands, Dartmouth Brook, and the Ammonoosuc River. New Hampshire Fish and Game (“NH F&G”) and the USFWS were notified, and New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (“NH DES”) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) responded to the Incident.

Today, these include the World Trade Organization (WTO) and what are popularly called the Bretton Woods Institutions (BWIs): the International Monetary Fund (IMF or Fund) and the World Bank (Bank) (Deacon, 1999). These institutions, together with an associated system for monetary policy and exchange-rate stability centered on the US dollar's convertibility to gold, are collectively known as the Bretton Woods System.

  • New Hampshire's Largest Ski Resort
    Home Blog Articles Cartoons Contact Us New Hampshire’s Largest Ski Resort – Grandest Hotel by Peter Hines Editor Bretton Woods, New Hampshire is the setting of New Hampshire’s largest ski and snowboard resort. It is also home of the Omni Mount Washington Hotel. Together they offer arguably one of the best ski and stay experiences in the East. If you are looking for a stay in a grand hotel that is over century old, steeped in history, yet well­maintained and cruising wide trails during the day and night the Omni Mount Washington Resort (OMWR) is the place for you. Omni Mt Washington Hotel The Mount Washington Hotel Even though Bretton Woods is the largest ski area in New Hampshire, it has a modest vertical drop of 1,500 feet. The trail and lift layout is such that one can easily traverse peaks to access almost all areas without much poling or skating. The mountain operations staff really knows how to lay down the snow and groom it with natural snow for an enjoyable experience. We found some stellar early morning corduroy on the "groomers" like Range View and Big Ben, Bigger Ben and Coos Caper. The many wide trails with gentle slopes make for a great on mountain experience. My favorite trails are Granny’s Grit and Herb’s Secret just below the top of the Zephyr Quad. If you don’t get enough runs in during the day, Bretton Woods offers night skiing off of the Bethlehem Quad. The OMWH is one of those grand hotels of a bygone era where many of the rich and famous of the late 1800s would spend their summers.
