Just wanted to bump this thread up in case anyone else can make it last minute! I also plan to be at the winter gathering, and will have my presentation with me on my laptop for anyone that wants to see photos. Looking forward to seeing some of you at Pinkham on Wednesday night! thanks, katie

I've got the same Mountain Hardwear Subzero SL jacket with 650 fill that sli74 has and I love mine too - though of course, make sure it fits YOU well! As soon as I put mine on I get toasty. I bought mine at Hilton's Tent City as well where it was about 35% off. No matter which you buy, make...

Thanks so much, those of you who are coming and to those of you who have offered support! As for the winter gathering and a boston potluck, I'm open to it, but we could always do something a bit more informal...let me think about it...I'd also want to run that idea by UFC and wouldn't want to...

Chip, I'd love to be able to do another presentation on a weekend, but I don't know if they (Pinkham and Highland Center) will have room for me, since they often plan their programs pretty far in advance. I will certainly look into it though! I figured my mid-week placement might present a...

If anyone is interested, I will be giving a presentation on Wednesday, January 10th at AMC's Pinkham Notch Visitor Center on my two-week trek through West Bengal and Sikkim, India that I did last April. (If I knew how to link to my VFTT trip report, I would, but I don't, so I can't--just search...

I might be there, at least for some of it! I'll let you know as the time gets closer. :) -katie

I'd like to add two books by Arlene Blum: "Annapurna" and "Breaking Trail." Arlene is an incredible mountaineer: she led the first all-women's and all-American expedition to Annapurna, which was made in 1978, led the first all-women's team up Denali, and has participated in/led numerous other...

Great hike you all...but you already knew that! I loved seeing the photos...sunrise on washington is certainly something I'd like to try and see someday. just beautiful. -katie

thank you pat and audrey!! HUGE thanks to the two of you for opening your house up to all of us on Saturday night...it was a great evening (of course!) and I was so impressed by the quantity of people and quality of yummy food and treats! I loved meeting new people and catching up with friends...

Cam is a good friend of my husband's from college (former roommate)...I knew that he was up at Grey Knob but I haven't been able to get up there myself. So glad he's doing well up there and that many of you have been up to say hello! He does have years and years of winter experience (along...

Seema's guac would go really well with the 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-layer dip (depending on how ambitious I am next Saturday) that I am planning on bringing again...(hint, hint)!! :) Audrey and Pat, you are so generous to host this potluck, which is sure to be the most fabulous gathering! Looking...

Steve, So sorry to hear that you're off your feet for awhile, but sounds like your attitude is super positive--the best way to make the recovery time as quick as possible!! I have no doubt you'll be back on the trail soon enough...and I hope to see you there! -katie

Sounds like you two finished in style--great job! Hope to see you sometime soon! :) -katie

Big Squaw is also known as Big Moose Mountain, right? I hiked that three summers ago and it was a really nice climb, with beautiful views at the top of Moosehead lake and the surrounding area. We didn't run into anyone all day and it was a nice day - I was surprised. Enjoy your hike this...

We expect to be there! Thanks Pat and Audrey!!! -Katie and Kevin :)

Congratulations to both of you! What an awesome accomplishment :) -katie

Christine, Thanks for sharing this fantistic and heartfelt experience with us...what an incredible accomplishment! I too am saving the Bonds for last...just 9 to go now. I still think back to last February's hike on Isolation and I am so grateful for your (and Lenny's!) company as I struggled...

I only had time to skim...I'll sit down and read the fill report later today, but wanted to say right now that your photos are amazing!! Since I've never been to the southwest myself, now I can picture the sights you told me about on the Kinsmans hike...and I see that I'll have to add many of...
