Thanks guys, I will let everyone know.

Anyone know the condition of Jefferson Notch, Drive-able with a front wheel drive car? The forest service says its open but, no conditions reported.. thanks..

Thanks for help everyone, I think we will do that loop with Ammo first.. Given the condition we wanted an easy up and back yesterday never setting the goal for the summit. More of a hike for really cold high wind experience. Just to see what its like in case we accidentally got caught out...

haha, yeah.. I have always had pickup trucks, the latest a 11' Toyota Tacoma DBL cab 4X4.. However. I got tired of the high cost to register in NH and more so the fuel prices!! I actually bought down and I have an 08' Elantra that I found. It was used on 36k from Grappone in Concord.. Great car...

This morning we intended on going up the Jewell trail.. Not likely going all the way.. With the wind forecast of 85-105 and higher gust, along with -50 wind-chills we wanted to go up as far we would be comfortable.. We showed up about 0630, still dark and snowing hard. However, we got there and...

Hey, hope all is well...

Decided to go up Lions head and down Tuckerman Ravine. Beautiful day, no ice. Some patches of snow. No traction needed. Winds were light, maybe 20kts. Temps were around 40. Though with the calm winds and bright sunshine, it felt like it was 70. Though I keep the polar fleece. Didn't want to get...

Hi, I've been wanting to get a lighter smaller pack without a steel frame, i've had somebody reccommend a Valdez pack from cold cold world packs in jackson. I read up on them, seems a great pack that'll last me a while. Anybody have any experience with them?

yeah, I'm going to post a TR with pics later...

I did my first climb of washington yesterday, up lions head down to lakes and back down tuckerman. It was absolutly perfect wx. 10-15kts at the summit. clear skies, awesome views. Hope everyone got out and enjoyed it.

Hey, Unfortunately I didn't have a camera. Out on my wood pile on the trap that covers it, I found an interesting nest. Actually four or five of them. They were maybe 1.5in long, tightly woven thread, cashew shaped. Any ideas? Sorry no pictures... THX!

Hey, I was up on ridge today too. I think met you and your dog today. There were 2 of us hiking down off of liberty. You might not remember. I was wearing the gray polar fleece and tan zipper off pants. I was also the one in front, carrying the big heavy backpack of course,:rolleyes: I can't...

Easy going up the flume until the slide where the rocks were slippery and wet. Snow started around 3,000 feet. Didn't have an impact going up but, between Flume ann Liberty and down Liberty springs, Trex traction was helpful. About 3 inches of snow or so in the woods esspecially shady spots...

yeah, Henry Margusity is a great guy. He is also very good at predicting winter weather.

Hey thx for the respones, I always end up bringing too much. The reason is that I got burned once winter hiking by not have enough gear and almost got hurt. So there is reason behind my madness:D

Hey, all I'm planning a hike on the 24th up there wx permitting. I'm expecting and planning on full winter conditons considering there seems to already be some snow up there. Looking forward to some winter hiking. I'm planning on taking Flume Slide trail up and Liberty Spring down. Now I...
