There's no way to guarantee that there will be spots open. Know your alternatives (Cannon ski area, Skookumchuck, the Flume) and alternative routes to the peaks you want to hike.

I don't think this is a case of both sides did some things wrong. IMO, it's pretty clear that one side instigated this fight, they lost, and they deserved to lose.

Yes, sounds like a good resolution to this situation. The people who caused the problem are being removed.

We did a similar hike a few years back, skipping the first two days and then doubling up on a few near the end to finish the Alta Via 1. Amazing terrain, huts, and people.

This isn't a complex issue, really. The Commission has been hijacked by Free State extremists who are acting against the wishes of the residents of the region. Read the statement by the head honcho, State Rep Norman Silber (a FL transplant) and decide. Keep in mind he brings in George Soros to...

We got busted near the top of North Tripyramid with 15 people in a Wilderness Area on a VFTT hike.

Recco is best used as a body recovery tool, allowing ski areas to reopen the terrain after an accident. By the time you get an helo to an accident scene you're in recovery mode.

I've seen the following as the entire MRG snow report in the past:

You can also use electronic rechargeable hand warmers that heat up in 10-15 seconds and last a few hours. They're a bit heavier than the disposables but I'm impressed with their robustness and speed.

Bummer Dennis, I hope your recovery is quick and uneventful.

Well, in general, the Interwebs don't have many rules. VFTT, however, does. :)

Is the snowpack in AK similar to the generally heavy snowpack here in the northeast? We rarely need lots of floatation here because the snow is generally pretty dense.

Not every year, but often enough.

You're right, I'd forgotten that the DOC cabins were also restricted to students, alums, and employees only.

The Dartmouth College Grant is just south and west of Wentworth Location, but it's gated except for approved users. But you're free to take a gravel or mountain bike and explore around. No big hikes but the trails to various ledges are interesting, and the views of the Dead and Swift Diamond...

You're making a distinction that doesn't really exist. Anything over 26.2 is an ultra. Certainly, some races are longer than others, but they're all ultras.

Yes, 100K is unquestionably a solid ultra marathon by any standards.

It appears so. All the standard references online mark it as closed for good.
