Does anybody know which AMC patches are for any-season and which are for winter? Does anybody know how they came to be designed as they are? The AMC regular and winter patches for the Whites(rectangle) and the NE67(circle) are the same except for colors, and a slight size difference between...

In early September I may be leading up to 12 people on a hike in the Mt. Tremblant region, or within a 1.5 hour drive of Huberdeau, Quebec. Can anyone recommend some possible hikes, long or short? One idea I had was to climb Mt. Tremblant from a wild side, meaning NOT going up ski slopes...

bring name tags I forgot to mention this earlier. If you have an old name tag or button from a previous 46er meeting, or even a Trekkie convention you once attended, please bring it. It will make it easier for people to find and meet you. It would be even more helpful to print your forum name...

My impression from Wolfgang's 3/13 report is that he went back back down the Garfield Trail. Maybe someone else followed my tracks on the Garfield Ridge Trail, or maybe in that spruce field I made more tracks than one person should be legally allowed to make.;) I hope the GPS track you had...

I was thinking of going til I saw how far a drive Exeter is. Unless there's someone in my general region who wants to carpool, I'm going to pass on this.

Sorry this report is late due to limited computer access and much rushing around. Wolfgang already reported more recently on the Garf. Tr., so I'll just add this: The Garfield Ridge Trail showed no sign of prints or a furrow when I got to it just .2 mi before Garfield's summit. The first...

Payment extension, slide show I just heard from Peggy, Reservations as of 3/10 were running way below previous years. She, or she and the Crowne Plaze have extended the date til 3/20. So if you couldn't commit by the 10th, here's a chance. - I should have passed this on earlier: [from Peggy]I...

On Sunday Hummingbird and I climbed Mts. Washington and Monroe. A good sampling of what Mt. W is known for, but with mild temps. I hiked up to Lonesome Lake Hut late that afternoon/early evening and stayed there as a guest of the St. Lawrence U. Outing Club members. Did the Kinsmans yesterday...

I actually found a partner and we plan to meet at the parking area for hikers just below Marshfield Station at 7:30AM Sunday. Looks like a nice day for it. Will play rest of the week by ear. Probably hike Mon, rest Tues, then hike Wed & Th. But if you're looking at hiking Tues, I could do it...

I salute your determination to bushwhack up steep, deep snow when your goal was still miles away and not even visible. I'm facing a hard week of "vacation" in the Whites starting Sunday, so this report is a big relief. In someone's report since the big wet snow, they suggested using Pam...

I've deleted my previous partner search posts. They're history. It's come down to this. My last week. The Crunch. The End Game. I join you or you join me. I'm looking at Sunday through Thursday, March 7-11. I need: Washington and Monroe Garfield and Galehead N & S Kinsmans Mt. Moriah I'm...

Adirondack avalanche Here's more info on that avalanche, in English. Two people were actually partially buried! Whew!

From the first video, Climbing E.O. Farmer is an animal...and a gentleman. He was making the extra effort to kick in a level path on a very steep side slope. I like his style.

Thank you for this first 4k report since the snow storms. The pictures really helped get across to me that I would have little chance of success. With Monday's forecast not looking good for the peaks I want, I think I'll just pass on the 12 hour round trip drive to the Whites this weekend...

Weather Underground has a snow depth page. 4k-Relevant 24 hour snowfall figures and reporting times for today, 2/26, are: Mt. Washington 10.5" 7AM Pinkham Notch - 6.0" 6AM Conway---------1.0" 7AM York Pond ------4.8" 7:30AM Does the Mt. W. Obs. have a way of measuring the...

Great accomplishment and great pictures! Congratulations to the three of you.

Reminder Payment due March 10th. Just a reminder that Peggy needs your payment in just under a month. March 10th.

NB via WPR, Neso, & Marston Tr. 2/14-15/2010 Part 2 of 2 Monday (continued) I bare booted for the first 300’ of elevation gain. The trail was supportive, but I wanted better traction, so I put on my 30” Havlick snowshoes. They have pretty aggressive front claws. The 1.2 miles to Coe jct...

Part 1 of 2 President’s Weekend looked like the best chance for summiting North Brother. I’d have a better chance of finding partners to hike with. Also, I saw from Baxter State Park’s campsite availability page that a group was already planning to be there. Arm, Mtnpa, and Frodo had...

--Williams Pond Rd. well packed by snowmobiles for first 2.6 miles. After that, packed by group of 7, then me, skiing with sleds. Not packed well enough for barebooting. --Ditto the 1/2 mile ski trail through woods to Nesowadnehunk Field Campground. --Park perimeter road well packed by...
