There is a group going in on Saturday so the trail will be broken out for the Sunday group.

Very true.

Another concern I have with respect to giving information to F&G that may come back to bite you in the ass is what if you are a WFA or WFR and happen upon a hiker who is injured. You are trained to ask certain questions as part of the triage procedure. I would be hard pressed to relay any of...

I would love to see how they itemized that bill. Most of the heavy lifting is being done by volunteer S&R teams that are not being paid or reimbursed. So having one or two Rangers on site coordinating efforts by others is worth $9,300?

I always do the Scaur Ridge Trail since I live on Rt. 49. I’ve been meaning to test my mettle pulling a pulk on XC ski so I might do that. It is after all down hill.

Personally, I would go up Jewell and down Lowe’s Path. That way you can stop at Gray Knob if you need to take a break and fuel up before the descent. It requires a car spot, but so does Valley Way. The revere would also work. p.s. Jefferson road is closed in winter so doing it via the Caps would...

I’m surprised no one mentioned this, the group that stops for a break and completely blocks the trail and then gets upset if you walk near their gear. Or the group of boy scouts who take a dump three feet from the trail or insist that bananas will be eaten by animals and do not need to be...

Although we kind of fell into our current property (it was my wife’s grandparents’ home) we are quite happy where we are. We have a nice piece of property on the Mad River and I am maybe 5 miles from Waterville Valley, which offers skiing and has five 4,000 footers nearby. I can also walk to...

The photos of the ice are over the bridge by exit 29 in Thornton. The photo of the river without ice is by the bridge near the Sunset Grill in Campton. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10202643460594931.1073741889.1450265390&type=1&l=06b215e37d

I certify my WFR/CPR credentials every two years. What I carry is a personal choice for me. I tend to carry a tad more than most, yet for me I feel confident that I can render aid in most back country situations. Though I no longer carry a potable helicopter or AED, I do believe I can at least...

I will just echo what everyone else has said. I did Monroe/Jefferson via Ammo and Jewell with no problem. It was a perfect blue bird day two days before the official end of winter.

6 to 8 inches in Thornton NH.

Since I work in a University Library I use barcodes on a daily basis. Once the barcodes are used up for a single sheet, I lay strips of Duct Tape onto the sheet and fold it over so that it is the width of a single piece of Duct Tape. If I need a piece, I simply peel back a section with no...

My feet have changed so much that my Koflach Degre’s no longer fit well. They are size 12, though I normally wear an 11.5, and the 12’s fit better. They are in good condition with a new Intuition booty liner. I am willing to sell them for $150.00 or best offer. I will post some photos later. PM...

I just stay in the right lane and do 60-65, I'm not in that much of a hurry that I want to pay $200.00 for a ticket.

I sweat a lot on the ascent so I tend not to wear heavy layers. By the time I reach the summit I am soaked so I strip off all my layers from the waist up and replace with my expedition weight Hot Chilly top, and a dry pullover. If I’m crossing a ridge I throw on a shell as well. I also switch...

Life was so much easier when all I have to do was clink into my Bandits, get off the lift, and head downhill. It looks like I’m in for a slow learning curve, though I am a tad tire of the crowds and would rather enjoy the solitude of BC skiing. I just need to get better at it. Thanks for all...

True on all counts, I just find the thin skies too thin for my taste. I would prefer something a tad wider like BC skies. WV doesn't rent them so I will look elsewhere before deciding what to buy.Thanks. p.s. Through I understand the control issue; I do not expect to be careening down the side...

Rather than post a new thread I’m going to jump in for a quick question. I’ve been a down hiller for all my skiing life and I am slowly switching over to XC. I’ve rented your standard XC skies at the WV Nordic center for a few trips but do not like the thin skies that do not have metal edges. My...

I too sharpened mine. Honestly, it is not worth the trouble, just buy a new pair. I do however sharpen my crampons.
