As Tim said - your on their leased land, and groomed trails. If you don't comply they won't physically force you into a snowcat, but they will escort you down and have the police waiting to arrest you for trespassing. You may end up going to court at great exspense to argue whether they can...

Winter hiking - Bob wears Mountain Hardwear Synchro soft shell pants - over 20 no long underwear and no gators - under 20 thin long underwear - under 10 heavier long underwear. Geri does similar but has Outdoor Research Intuition softshell pants.

Arrived in Twin Mountain to find 1 1/2 inches of snow on the deck :<

Pure coincidence

Never broke in my La Sportiva Nepals or Garmonts. Just put them on and went hiking. Never any issues. Ditto for any trail runner. The Garmonts are designed for a foot that has more volume. I use a thicker custom orthodic and still had to add a thin foam footbed to them to take up the slack...

Totally agree with you about it being a myth for hiking! And about VBL's! I use a pair from RBHDesigns - they work great at keeping your socks nice and dry!

Have them both. Used the Nepal's for 3 years before adding the Garmont's last year. They are equally warm - for my feet anyways. I've done some running down trails in both - the Nepal's flex enough to run in, but are heavy compared to the Garmont's. Garmont's take a strapon crampon, while the...

Cannon has it posted at the summit that hikers are not allowed on the trails. They currently do let you hike as far as the cafe, but even then we have been approached by ski patrol making sure we knew we were not allowed on the trails while doing that short walk. Even in the cafe they have...

There is one meetup group that openingly posts sledfests at Cannon and Wildcat as well as some members of the AMC NH Young Members group. Perhaps peer pressure will help persuade them to go sled on a hiking trail and not the ski trails.

Snow stopped in Twin Mountain a couple of hours ago - 4 inches tops.

How are they handling hikers that are only hiking down the polecat trail? Will that have somebody selling tickets at the top? If you are half way down and hiking with a dog????

Happy Winter to you as well! Hope Santa brings everybody the Winter Peak Bagging fun that they are looking for!

Thanks for the update!

Winter starts at 12:30 AM on Dec 22nd.

So very sorry to hear this sad news Kevin. He will be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge until you are able to join him. Thank you so much for sharing the photos and stories. He will be missed by many. Your in our thoughts.

No issues for the roads that you are planning on taking - they are open.

If it's your first time and your not taking along somebody with experience, you might want to consider someplace like the Ammoosuc Campground that has heated rest rooms and showers. You can always skip that comfort, but it might be nice to have that safety net available. Most years we hike on...

I was there 2 weeks ago today - no issues on Bangor Rd. Carter Moriah trail was wet at the top and had a few easy to navigate around blowdowns - Stonybrook trail was in excellent condition.

On the Woodstock Inn Brewery Facebook page the following rumor was just posted - hope that it is true! Woodstock Inn Brewery RTE 302 hopefully open this Friday as the rumor goes!!

Check out the Maine 511 page: http://www.511.maine.gov/main.jsf Looks like some road work going on so expect some delays, but you should be able to get there from what we see. Good luck on the hikes and have fun!!!
