    What have you found in the woods?

    Yeah, I always thought I might hear the ball hit some trees then hear "Oowwww" followed by screams. Needless to say that rather discouraged me from doing it.

    What have you found in the woods?

    hiking poles on flights?

    Well, it would depend on what type of aircraft your flying in. If your flying a Beech 1900 or Saab 340 (small airplanes) you may have to check them. If your flying a 737 or A320 then you'll have no problems. It has to do with the size of overhead bins. With JB you'll be fine even on the...

    Not that I'm an expert...

    Its happened on lake winni before. I have seen it and experienced it when I was a kid. When storms come down from the mountains they can sometimes have enough rotation to get something going. Combine it with relativly flat land near the water you can water spouts and sometimes they can come...

    Here comes the big spring snowstorm for the Whites!

    JUst wait a while and see what happens as the upper level low moves through. Looking at the radar loop this shows a fairly broad area of snow that will be moving through. We'll see what kind of accumlation it brings! I personally would like to see a couple feet but, I don't think that is...

    "Uh-oh" Moments

    My favorite "Oh uh" moment was when I forgot my crampons and tried to hike Osceola without them in January. I would not recommend it. :(

    When all you need is a blue hill or two

    Cool pictures... Been by blue hills so many times never been up there. It was interesting yesterday. A lot Virga out there, some reaching the ground but not particulary heavy. It was very cold aloft leading those dark cloud bases and very unstable environment. 1500-2000 feet it was close to...

    Sking at Wildcat?

    Hi I understand you can ski at wildcat before they open, I heard you just have to climb it. They look like they have some awesome powder or more likely heavy wet snow. I want to go tommorow but, I was wondering which way you go up? Can you hike up the trails or do you need to go up nineteen...

    Mt Cardigan??

    Hi, I am supposed to hike Mt Cardigan on this Thurs. How ever above 2500' there could be as much as a foot of snow. I was wondering if you would still be able to get to the trailhead if there is going to be snow on the ground. Last time I went there in the summer and I think it was a...
