"Both the New Yorker and the Times pieces let Bill Stenger off the hook. He had a long history of breaking the law over the course of his tenure at Jay, and his claims of "“I’m outraged at what [Quiros] did and I feel abused,” are a load of b.s. Under Stenger's leadership, Jay Peak repeatedly...

I drove once during a intense storm like this one. The state police for that storm required 4 wheel drive with winter tires, plus chains.

Quite a difference in the Sierra - "A rare warning for “life-threatening blizzard conditions” is in effect for the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, including Lake Tahoe. The storm could bring at least three feet of snow, starting today." Justin Sullivan/Getty Images See the forecast...

I would call the Green Mtn FS office for that area and ask. Been my experience that the GMF is oriented towards hiking related activities, much more so that the Whites.

I noticed there's no dog's name under #2. Did the owner not want the name listed?

These are the opening paragraphs of an AMC Appalachia article they wrote about Kate Matrosova. It's worth the read, even if it doesn't include the entire article. Too Cold: : The Death of Kate Matrosova

The WMUR clip was good. Short, accurate, and respectful.

Good question, But if nobody's been charged in 45 years, chances are it won't happen soon. Does VT have more of a problem than other NE states, including NY?

There are some areas in the Whites which are particularly snowy, and in my experience there's about a 1/2 mile section between Guyot and the spur to W. Bond that can have deep snows. But, given his substantial experience, he probably knew and planned for this.

This was my experience as well growing up in Pittsfield, except that we could also get a Channel 6 which was broadcast (IIRC) as an NBC affiliate.

He was the real deal. No pretense about him.

I enjoyed watching him as a kid growing up in the 50's and 60's. I also enjoyed it when his cat Fluffy walked across the set as only cats can do.

Which Market Basket do you usually use?

I lived in San Bernardino when I was in the AF and stationed at Norton AFB, which has since closed. I taught my wife how to drive a stick shift (VW beetle) in the Orange groves in Redlands. If you're ever out that way again consider climbing Baldy (Mt San Gorgonio). It's a great dayhike. If...

I saw the episode a few weeks ago.

My experience is the same as Sierra's.

This is remarkable. I haven't read anything which says what elevation he was found at, but still. Anything about 8k' is considered high, at least for humans. I wonder what he found to eat and drink.
