Glencliff trail to Carriage rd. Down low mashed potatoes becoming firm up high,icy above treeline.Wore snowshoes the whole way.Trails in great shape. Tried to get a little bit later start hoping for some afternoon clearing, and did we get it.The groups we encountered on the way down said high...

**** what a day,next year we will have to plan hike and drink!

Greeley ponds trail trail well packed.Mt.Osceola trail well packed with a couple inches of powder to start,becoming increasingly drifted on the ridge.Wore snowshoes the whole way.There was alot of postholes from prior traffic but on the way down the trail seemed in pretty good shape,plenty of...

I've read various articles about the skiing in Japan and your photos and report echo those articles;the combination of the culture,the mountains and the SNOW make this a life list trip.Very jealous.

It is an awesome trail run when the snow is out.In winter you cannot beat the Lincoln slide approach.Next time I'm bringing skis!

An Unfrozencaveman,a Sasquatch...........Any more prehistoric/mythical creatures gonna be there?

I'm wondering when the "demon" of the slide will finally relinquish my snowshoe lost descending in the dark back in early Jan.There's been alot of traffic up there since then and no word on it,not surprising since UFC was on my heels at the time and he never saw a trace of it.I'm thinking early...

Congratulations on a most excellent accomplishment! It was very nice to meet you and read of your exploits in your well written reports and outstanding photos.I thoroughly enjoyed them all.Also I can really relate to transitioning from a solo hiker to hiking with groups from this forum.That...

Leaf's pics make me feel like I'm right there!

Great pics Darlene, what an excellent trip.

I have been on several very cold hikes(8-14 hours) and have not any freezing issues.I usually have bagels and various sandwiches(tuna,chiken salad) as well as trail mix and bars.I put them in a stuff sack with my extra gloves and hats deep in the pack.

I'm usually solo and stories like this make me realize that I really need to become a better navigator.

Lonesome Lake,Fishin' Jimmy and Kinsman Ridge (to N and S) are packed highways.Kinsman ridge trail over Cannonballs was only partially broken out by a couple of hikers,but still managed to make very good time through this section.Kinsman ridge trail up Cannon is one long butt shaped trench,there...

Lower 19 mile Brook rock hard ,above junction with Carter Dome trail partially drifted in.Carter Moriah trail from the notch to Zeta pass broken out,some drifted areas made for nice 'shoeing, otherwise packed powder.Over South and Middle broken out(not as much) with lots of drifting and fighting...

By the way , if anyone finds an Atlas 12 on the lower portion next to the slide that would be mine.

Great to bump into you guys,even better to have the trail up S Twin broken!

When it's this cold I sweat less.When it's 20 above I'm percolating.

Got off to a rough start Jan 3rd 08 when wife got laid off.Suffered through the snowiest winter (bummer)in a while, $4.25 gas prices and no $$$ kept me out of the mountains,just trying to keep the house. March, discovered this site while looking for trail conditions for one of my few hikes.With...

A little sugar usually does the trick!

A couple snowshoers had broken out an alternating footprint on the trail which had frozen rock hard making for a bone jarring ride.Especially hard on Carter's paws ,Tuck fared better.I tried my best to make a more uniform surface.Water crossings not a problem, just lots of them and wet areas as...
