Amazing images Kevin! Hope those scones were even 1/2 as good as they sounded. Enjoy the rest of your week and keep those pictures coming!!

I'm a big fan of all of Guy and Laura's books. Was glad to have grabbed a used hardcover copy of Forest and Crag a couple of years ago when I found that it was out of print. Even moreso now that the cheapest used one on Amazon is $195 :eek:. I'll pick up the Kindle edition too since that's...

According to a friend who was on the summit that day (on an OBS day trip) they talked to a hiker that arrived on the summit at around 1:30pm. He said that "he was not really aware of the Lion Head Winter trail. And he thought there was shelter at the summit of Mt Washington. After hearing that...

What a wonderful gift. The days like this are few and it's so hard for us to realize that we need to take hold of each one. Enjoy them all! Hope we can share one of them with you soon...

This is great - thanks for sharing the link. Looking forward to seeing more of Mike's stories. Surprised nobody has posted this link on the MWOBS forums yet. I'll be doing that shortly...

You should have posted this before the photo contest last night - I might have had a better shot :rolleyes: Beautiful pictures and clearly a great day out! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Dying to get out and play in that snow!!

You're so right Michael (on all counts). I paid less attention at the canyon entrance since we took the ski bus so I didn't notice the gates. I can see why the canyon gets closed though with the crazy amounts of snow. They say that the average annual snowfall is around 500 inches!! They are...

OK, this is probably not technically a trip report since it didn't involve hiking. It did however involve a trip (to Utah) and some incredible Views from the Top (of Hidden Peak at Snowbird). Was out there for a few days for a business trip last week and had a day to see the area. Not enough...

Beautiful pictures and great account as always Kevin. The dogs certainly seemed to enjoy the day! (No surprise there) Glad that Judy's injury wasn't worse and, as you said, didn't happen under worse circumstances. I'd like to think that the rest of us could learn something from that...

This has been a great thread. While we've never hiked with Jake he's put in many miles by our side. I've never seen any dog be so absolutely joyful to be out in the cold and snow. This shot was two winters ago when he was 11. He just turned 13 and is still hanging in there. Really hoping...

Don't know how I missed this when it was first posted. WOW! Those are simply amazing images Larisa! Definitely some of the best of the Presis in winter ever. You guys had just an amazing day. Congrats on the great accomplishment of a winter traverse and for managing to capture it so well at...

This has been a fantastic thread so far (as it always is)! Great stuff everyone. Not sure how anyone has managed to choose just ten. Definitely no way to pick a favorite among all the current posts. Here are my choices and best memories from a wonderful year. (captions link to albums)...

This has just been a fantastic thread! Now that the Top 10 of 2011 thread is open I guess it's time to break down and add one here. This one is my favorite for both aesthetic and sentimental reasons. Was the perfect way to end a great day. Late Afternoon Light on Franconia Ridge Over...

OK, I guess this means that it's time to post my favorite photo of 2011 over in that thread so that I can then get to this one. ;) Thanks for starting this again Jim - it's my favorite thread every year. Off to a great start too with the entries from Jacob and pudgy_groundhog. The shots of...

So sorry Kevin. Your pictures and words are a wonderful tribute to Brutus. Very sad to lose such a great friend and companion.

Such a handsome little guy. Wonderful portrait!

Patrick - thanks! Freighttrain - glad you liked it. I had actually expected less views on this hike based on the typical comments about TFW summits. The views at all the summits were great and the bonus was that stretch along the Willey Range Trail where I got the picture you mentioned. Go...

@Kevin - Thanks! @Karl - we're definitely had great days up there. Avalon is a magical place and last weekend proved that the rest of the Willey Range is right there with it. As for the Gray Jays, I don't think they mind the cold and they're certainly happy for the company (particularly when...

This one seems to fall into the "nothing is ever easy" category. What an adventure for one day! Great that you got the rest of the Belknaps - beautiful place. We'll have to get back someday to do the parts beyond what we did with you a last year. So great that you were able to help the poor...

It was nice meeting you out there Keith - however briefly. It was indeed a beautiful day out there! Hope to run into you again someday.
