    forced to bareboot by MSRs

    After much deliberation I selected 30 " Atlas 12 for my new shoes. I already experienced this "thin track syndrome" while wearing Ashley's narrow Atlas 1030's and had to ditch the shoes and bareboot.I hope this won't be widespread problem, the 12's are pretty wide.

    New Hampshire Land swap

    It is but Cannon is a locals mountain.No slopeside ammenities means it will never be a huge tourist draw the like Loon.

    New Hampshire Land swap

    No Good The best part of skiing Cannon is having the ability to take a beautiful 5 minute hike and then enjoy some unique terrain with a backcountry feel.Running lifts and ,god forbid grooming, would destroy the Mittersill experience.

    1st snow hike this season: Cannon 11/10/08

    What a great day to be out.Did a Hale Zealand Twins loop and had a blast in the snow on Monday.With the dropping temps and snow it felt like we were witnessing the arrival of winter to the mountains.Near blizzard conditions driving out rt 3 and through the notch.

    Owl's head trail run 11/03

    Winter is here! Yesterday we encountered snow, up to 2 inches. Although it was a hike I realized I'll probably have to wait until a good base and packed trails until I can resume running 4 k peaks. Is winter trail running an option?Snowshoes?Microspikes? Bare boot?Any input would be appreciated.

    Owl's head trail run 11/03

    I'm sure that would have saved time, but I'm really a novice whacker and would hesitate to embark on a whack by myself. I need to go out with some more experienced hikers to really gain confidence in that area.

    Owl's head trail run 11/03

    That is definitely a possiblility, depends on whether I have Glen with me or not.

    Owl's head trail run 11/03

    The conditions in the Whites are probably gonna prevent much running now so I'll probably stick to local stuff like Blue Job and the Belknaps. I'm trying to cook up a good 18 + mile hike for Monday or Tuesday. If your available I'll send you the details.

    Owl's head trail run 11/03

    I'm all for the idea of an annual event , but I'd be more inclined for a Presi traverse!

    Owl's head trail run 11/03

    Well today was the day I've been waitng for to finally do Owl's head. Cloudy with a chance of showers.After last weeks run I felt confident I could run most of the flats. I must say this was a rather unpleasant ordeal. I am usually the most joyous hiker, thrilled to be alive and in the...

    Whiteface,Passaconway trail run 10/27

    I have been working on conditioning for trail running for a couple of months now and Monday looked like a good weather day and since I spent Sunday carb loading I figured I'd try to run my first 4 k peaks.I picked Whiteface and Passaconway because I knew there would be lots of good runnin in...

    Franconia Ridge Traverse 10/24

    The original plan was for me to meet Una Dogger at Crawford notch at 7:00 and do a Southern Presi tarverse.I was up and left early and decided to go up 93 to get to the notch,usually I would just go up 16 but for some reason I felt like going up 93. Turned out to be a very fortunate decision.As...
