Here's looking at you, Old Man. I miss your frosty chin gazing over the valleys.

Another vote for Sole insoles, the poor man's orthotics of choice!

I am all over that combo like yesterday: TINY

Very cool. Quite the snowshoes s/he had on!

Kevin, I just called to find out and spoke to Mark Breen himself, who said that it's generally posted between 6:30 and 7. Not ideal, but I have found even their insights as to what is happening the next day are second to none.

Being in Vermont, the first place I go is Eye on The Sky, which has a detailed mountain forecast for the ADK, Vermont, and the Whites. The summary they give as to what is going to happen over the course of the day is excellent, and I have found many, many times that their take on mountain...

Thanks aj and Driver - I'm so glad I was able to be up there on such a great day! I went down the Ammo - the short "stop motion" clip in the video where I am "skating" on a snowshoe towards Washington from the hut was just messing around with that technique. The wind was still pretty gusty in...

Favorite catastrophic gear failure story - one of my friends had brought a tent on an overnight that he had unwisely been using as an all-summer long hippie yurt of sorts ( against my warnings not to). We set the tent up in the early evening, and went about making dinner. It was kind of gusty...

Last Saturday on the Crawford Path, with a descent down the Ammo: Direct link for HD version

Given the amount of GoPro cameras now engulfing the world (saw two helmet mounted cameras on hikers just in the past two weeks), I have a feeling we are going to be a seeing a lot of "Be a HERO" footage that may be in the same category. He's amazingly fortunate to have survived that ride, given...

It's roughly 48-50 miles. Adam has posted an excellent account of his journey here: Winter Hut Traverse (In A Day!) - 03/9/2013

Pretty Nice Day for That Kind Of Wanderin' What the day looked like: (This image was taken at 8:50am - I had started up from Crawford Notch, and was waiting for Adam on Monroe, guessing that he would hop over it to avoid the steep chute on the "horse trail" around Monroe. As it was, he went...

On March 9th, In 23 hours and 7 minutes, Mr. Adam Wilcox crossed the entire White Mountain Hut System, starting at Carter Notch Hut and finishing at Lonesome Lake. An amazing, historic, athletic feat which has been finally achieved. - Guy Waterman, "Wilderness Ethics" Sorry, Mr. Waterman...

That wraps it up pretty well! Glad to see you were able to get on on such a super day. Perfect music for your journey, BTW.

It's easy enough to find, there is a sign for the trail on the CCC road. Not sure if it gets much winter use.

Burrows Path on Camel's Hump is another great ride, best done late in the day to avoid uphill traffic.

And when you are ready for the big time:

Like a handful of other hopefuls, I hit the Presidential Range again last Tuesday after seeing that the forecast called for an "in and out of the clouds" kind of day. Or at least that was the forecast from the Rockpile.(Interestingly, the Eye On The Sky forecast called for the Presi Range to be...
