Unfortunately this fact is not really advertised when jobs are promised. They don't tell you they already have the skilled labor lined up.

Ashland pushing back. Voters have said twice they do NOT want NP. http://www.laconiadailysun.com/newsx/local-news/109956-ashland-looking-at-ordinance-to-stop-northern-pass

The MWO has a very successful fundraiser yearly that brings in a large amount of donations. Large. Seek the Peak. With the history of severe weather on the mountain, the title of world's most dangerous small mountain, holder of the highest wind speed on Earth, etc and so on, my guess is the...

Woohoo!!! !

2 headlamp minimum, three if I plan to night hike. Always an extra set of batteries. I night hike with $6 headlamps that are perfectly effective and have very few issues. I carried three two weeks back on a night hike up East Osceola. Like numerous commenters, I've given them away to other...

Legalities aside, this is my concern. Mount Washington is not out west. It's a few hours drive from major population centers filled with potentially eager, inexperienced skiers. I can only imagine the winter rescues this could potentially add to the 200+ already done annually. You better be one...

That's great to hear some good news. Glad it's not going to crumble. I've been curious about that tower for a long time. The old cottages across the road not far away are defying gravity right now.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/04/us/trump-bears-ears.html This week, Bears Ears National Monument was slashed by 85%. Only 15% remains protected from resource extraction (mining. drilling) Grand Staircase-Escalante in one day went to half it's former protected size. Protected public...

I didn't know Cog ownership felt they owned Mount Washington.

Assuming population will continue to grow may be safe for a time but how long? Population will continue to grow until it doesn't. Natural limits based on carrying capacity of the planet exist for all species. Humans have surpassed theirs. It's why we are looking to colonize Mars and the moon...

Yes, CWD is what F&G has as the reason on their website.

This coming weekend is the final weekend of rifle season for deer in NH. Be extra careful. This is the last opportunity hunters have this year for a deer in NH with a rifle. (12/3 is last day). Also, interestingly enough, if you shoot a deer in NY, you can't bring it back to NH through Mass...

Mounts Starr King and Waumbek on 25 November 2017 Trails: Starr King Trail Conditions: Lower half of the trail was a mix of mud and dry with little or no ice. Upper half of trail had increasing ice with a minimal of snow cover. Blowdowns were not an issue. Special Equipment: Light traction...

Date of Hike: 24 November 2017 Trail Conditions: Icy, some snow cover of a few inches, water crossings easy, a couple downed trees, easy to navigate. Special Equipment Required: light traction necessary for icy, steeper sections of Mount Osceola Trail. Headlamp for night hiking. Winter warm...

The good news is that the original report says she is in good condition. This could have been tragic. My guess is we have a family thankful to be together today given they could have potentially lost a daughter, sister, mother, aunt, friend. We likely have a hunter in a state of absolute fear...

It's a small price for keeping your toes and even though I complain, I wear them when conditions are pushing more extreme cold and I'll be above tree line. After wearing some very comfortable Keen winter boots for snowshoes, it can be a reluctant change. Definitely try a few brands of double...

I was lucky and picked up a pair of Koflach Arctis Expe double boots in IME moons ago in the basement with all the used gear. Although "used," these had never actually been used to any extent. They may have been worn on one trip. So check there once you have a sense for what you may want. On...

Not an issue. Trail was covered in a few inches snow over rocks and roots so care needed but blowdowns not a concern on the route up Liberty Spring and along the ridge to Flume.

Saturday was a top ten day. Franconia Ridge was stunning - I left late, there was almost no wind left on Liberty and Flume and clear, blue skies. It was cold but not noticeably so without wind and with continual movement. I saw groups eating lunch above treeline on Liberty in the open (but...
