48 x For those that give this a go whether it be Winter or non Winter What a wild, crazy & fun journey to experience ! When moments of our adventure creep back into my mind's eye, I find myself shaking my head & grinning :cool: Of course, the memories are supported by Tim's fantastic...

I think I made the Ski Patrol Very afraid yesterday :eek:

Wearing crampons doesn't equate to earning a merit badge This is my outlook regarding the first Winter gear folks should look to own, other than clothing. Snowshoes come before crampons. Snowshoes allow us to explore the snow covered winter trails. Today's model's all seem to have fantastic...

Karma Points Strong Girls Rock !!!

Regarding modes of travel in the snow, skinning & skiing is indeed one of my favorites too. I've used skis for Cabot, Tecumseh, Carter Dome, Garfield, Bondcliff, Galehead, Hale, Monroe, Adams, N. Tripyramid, Moosilauke, Cannon & Wildcat D (via the slopes...) Owl's Head to the base of the...

As most of us are now aware, the greater White Mountain region received the first big snowfall of the season on Valentine's Day. All of us looking to hike to specific peaks, vista's, favorite locations, are eagerly looking for trip & trail condition reports to learn where others have hiked to...

not to be a bummer, but............ The fellow that did the Winter Huts Traverse had a good supply of Winter gear with him, which was much more than just food & fluids. Personnal winter safety gear. It's not that our friend Rejean isn't capable of moving swiftly and safely, it appears that he...

Albee ~ I was there in the summer of '94 and the Winter of '99 During the Winter visit, I traversed from the north end to the canister down on the south end. I like this mountain mass, because of it's name and where it's located within the greater WMNF. Some of us refer to Nubble Peak...

Albee ~ NH summits, either 4k's or 100 highest peaks, have been rumoured to have offerings of food (or spirits) left as offerings to the Mtn God's/Goodess's, especially during Winter. The Foolkiller in particular seems to attract Pounder Bags of M & M's, of the plain (non peanut) variety...

Now that you too are drinking Stoneyfield Yogurt Smoothies and are leaving the 14 PB&J's behind, you'll become one of those light weight'ers and we'll get to see you dance :p

As many of you know, The Sisters are a blast to hike with :)

Una Dogger & Michael J ~ my comments weren't directed at your good advice. They were pitched for a giggle for MEB. She's one resourceful gal, always at the ready to overcome an obstacle :) And Kevin's right too, the road being paved vs gravel makes a HUGE difference.

MEB laughs at icy - unplowed - not maintained for Winter driving - Roads AND scary bridges. Remember, she's from Maine, and she's tangled with them all :D

To add to Kevin's note; I believe it was in the early 80's, during the search for Hugh Herr & his climbing partner, Alfred Dow died after being caught in an avalanche on the Lion's Head (summer) trail
