Nat and I will be there. and yes, Meo will be celebrating something. ;)

Here's their web site: http://www.sepaq.com/chc/en/auberge.html Enjoy!

Thank you all for the input. Looking forward to my first winter trip in Maine.

I'm planning some winter hiking in Maine between Christmas and New Year for a group of 5 and I've got a few questions that will help me decide wether we will be backpacking or doing day trips: 1) Is Caribou Valley Rd open in winter? 2) On the maps for the AT stretch between route 4 and 16 I...

Julie, thanks for organizing! I had a great time! Good thing that bum Neil wasn't there. :D :p

I almost missed that one. I haven't been here in a while. Nat and I are heading for the Whites and coming back Monday PM but we should be there. :D

Fantastic! Arm, congratulations on your accomplishment. Nat and I are really sorry we could not be there for the big celebration but we'll make up for it next time we see you. :D :D

Thanks! I plan on wearing boxing gloves to soften the landing. :D

Nat and I are planning a traverse for next Saturday. We'd be leaving from Appalachia around 4-4:30am. Anybody interested? Since there's is only 2 of us and 1 car, it would make logistics much easier. :) Let me know.

Congratulations! Well done! Can't wait to read the trip report.

Glad to hear they are safe. Thanks for the update Seema!

There was a lot of unconsolidated snow. All the parties that I heard of turned back because it made progress very slow with high avalanche risks (especially on the direct route). Apparently, they had more snow this year than usual. That been said, that was a month ago, so conditions should...

You are correct. There are some savings to be made by going unguided. I would have to compare notes with Frodo to quantify. In our case, we went with an outfitter because of the timing. Unfortunately, I did not have time to handle all the logistics involved because of work.

I'm still working on our trip report but I tought I should at least post some of our pictures for now. Should give people an idea about the adventure Arm, Frodo & Mountaingirl are about to tackle...

Good luck Arm, Frodo and Mountaingirl! We'll be sending positive vibes your way! Hope the conditions have improved for the Polish Glacier. There was a lot of snow on that route in late January.

Guinness or Smithwicks are usually my supplements of choice. ;)

The trip was fantastic. Slowly working on a trip report. Should be ready in a week or so...I'm lazy, what can I say! :D

Confirmation Nat and I will be there. I will bring my GPS but I doubt that we'll need it. To bad Reekee won't be there to help me out of the spruce traps to Couchie this time around. :rolleyes:
