I don't know about snow, but the Brook trail can be VERY wet in the spring.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos!

Thank you, everyone for your suggestions so far. I've been busy and haven't had a lot of time to process all this yet, but will have more questions.

We've been saving up for some time to buy a digital SLR and now that we're close I'm going to allow myself to start shopping. For those of you who shoot with digital SLRs: what do you use, and what is it that you love/hate about your cameras? I'm looking for a package deal in the $400-$700...

A big mistake I made a couple years ago on Cinco De Mayo (That's May 5th for all you gringos out there) was hiking Mt. Washington and Monroe without bringing snowshoes with us. We went up the Ammo without snowshoes and had no difficulties barebooting up the hard-packed snow and bare rocks. We...

EMS is having a sale on running shoes right now.

I'll never forget the time I was trying to bushwhack with my fingerless mittens that have a magnet that holds the "mitten flap" back when you have them in "glove mode". I was trying to take a bearing, but ended up standing there, turning in circles wondering why the needle wasn't turning as well.

I was up there a couple of Novembers ago and there were 2 major barriers to us getting across that river - the second of which was the river itself which we forded at some ridiculous hour in the morning like 1:30 AM while it was raging, thigh-deep (I'm 5'11) and ice cold. Thankfully someone had...

Beautiful shots, Leaf... Compare your "Morning Light on Mt. Washington" to my shot taken at about 5:30 PM that same day: ... I think you had the better light!

Date of Hike: 3/21/09 Trail Conditions: Below the treeline: (Air Line up, Valley Way down) Hard packed snow. Some ice in places, but avoidable or manageable with light traction. Above the treeline: Hard packed, icy snow. Many 20' or longer sections of ice that were not possible to walk on with...

Last year they tried to sell me an awful-smelling, abused pair of Koflach Degre mountaineering boots for more than my wife ended up finding a NEW pair on sale at EMS. Their reasoning was "the company [Koflach] is going out of business so you'd better get them while you can".

"Wildcat Mountain’s annual $9 lift ticket day held this past January marking 51 years of lift-serviced skiing and riding and 75 years from when the Wildcat Trail was first developed was popular enough to bring it back for two more Fridays in March. It was only $9 for 10 gondola rides back in...

Not that I need another credit card (or think using them irresponsibly is a good idea)... BUT, if you sign up for a REI credit card before April 1st, 2009, you can get a "free" $40 REI gift card. Details here...

NH minimum wage is $7.25 (also seen here).

I should have taken a picture, but the snow on the ice over the river paralleling the Imp Trail (Northern Leg) was covered in a maroonish, brown silt on the way back down the trail and I don't recall seeing it on the way up. I'm thinking a sudden increase in water caused the levels to flow up...

Date of Hike: 03/07/09 Trail Conditions: Packed snow with a loose, slushy couple of inches on the surface due to temps in the 40's. I would not be surprised to find the trail icy and bumpy early in the morning for the next couple of weeks due to the slushy-footprints freezing solid and lots of...
