I second Peaked Mt. Nice, easy hike nice views. right in North Conway. Hiking around the base of Cathedral is very fun (on the roads) Ice climbers on the cliff are entertaining. Stay on the road though, unless you have a helmet. A hike around Echo Lake is also fun. Sandy

I am thrilled for you and your family. May she continue to improve.

That is wonderful news. Hoping for continued progress. Sandy

Thank you!!! got my other Nomic ice tool!!! got my snowshoes!!! Sandy

Is anyone planning to go to the NE Tele Fest this weekend at Wildcat? I am a very new Telemarker--crossover from alpine. Was wondering if anyone has attended this in the past can give me any info. I already checked out the website. Are the clinics any good? Is it crowded? Any shwag given out? Is...

The hip flexor can be a pesky bothersome thing. The key is GENTLE stretching exercises. I find they bother me less if I stretch them AFTER I exercise. It is warm and lubricated and amenable to stretching. That said, I suffered terribly this weekend after a snowshoe hike. Didn't follow my own...

Hi Bobby: I have enjoyed reading your posts, and I wish a full recovery to Tracie. I have lived through a similar experience, so if you care to, feel free to contact me. I know we do not know each other, but please let me know if you need moral support from someone who has walked this long hard...

I am very happy with my TSL snoeshoes. No shin bang, the heel elevator is wonderful, and they are a bright pink!!!!

I like reading these threads. We have no snow where I am, but I still like to know what the deal is up north. I'm even scour the NE ice info to see what is in and drool over pictures!! Keep the weather info coming!

Hey! Thanks! They are on the backcountry.com website in "magic magenta"!!! I'm seriously considering them!!! I'm tired of black. Are they flexible enough for climbing?? Sandy

Loved the pics. Hopefully the gullies will fill in soon. Nice job on the unprotected climb!!!!

Congratulations!!! Sweet pants! Who makes'em??? Sandy

Leaf's query go me thinkng: Just want to let you know that the IMCS Ice Fest is Feb 5-7. Hopefully we will have ice by then. Lots of famous names to climb with or share a beer. http://www.ime-usa.com/imcs/ice_fest.html

I have enough trouble staying upright sober. To each his/her own. Sandy

I just got a Droid. I have already turned to the GPS feature and Google Earth is great to surf during boring meetings:) I absolutely plan to use it this winter. Not only will I be able to navigate, I also retain the option to dial a "yuppie 911":D

I am no stranger to ankle injury. Needed the right one reconstructed (twice) after I took a graceful spill going down the Liberty Spring trail. ( I hiked out on it, Speare was great). Not sure which hurt worse: the ankle or my armpits from the crutches: Try this. Looks like a fun way to scoot...

Too bad about your injury. Tough fracture. I wish you the best of luck in your recovery. Lucky for all of us that miss entire seasons in the mountains, they are still there when the seasons repeat themselves. Be patient. You will be out there before you know it. Sandy

This is why I ultimately gave up on traditional downhill skiing. Only problem is that I bought tele skis and actually have to go to a lift serviced area until I can handle the turn in the backcountry!!! Luckily, I only need the bunny slopes this year, and I hope Bretton Woods continues their...

I have the socks, and I LOVE them. No blisters, no sweat between the toes. I'm going to get a pair of these funky things and try them out at the gym. I may even try climbing at the rock gym with them!!

My beasts love the Blue Hills. You can do rugged or smooth hikes, Elevation or flat. I would recommend you use a leash until puppy is well controlled by voice. Lots of people who hike are not happy with muddy paws all over them, and some people can be afraid. Enjoy the hiking!!! Sandy
