I' m a skier who hikes too. Does that count? On point, this may be the year I finally put together a multi day trip, supported by a hot tent, into the Pemi in order to ski the East facing slide off Mt Lincoln. :):)

Anyone lose some softshell clothing hiking Shawnee Peak recently? PM with and ID and we'll get it to you.

Washington is reporting 6" or so with significant drifting. We are heading to Mt. Abraham in VT. to check it out. Damn, left my skis in Maine.

Kevin, Have you stored bags in places where mice COULD have gotten to them but did not, either because of your storage technique or because mice don't like down? ys

Hi folks, We are selling our home and may have to store our two -20 winter bags in a storage shed which is not mouse proof. Is this foolhardy? It is the time of year that mice our going outside but still.

We would do it from a hot base camp near the slide bottom over three or four days. Did you get all the way to the valley floor?

MIrabela, The general slope angle is a relatively safe 30 degrees, which isn't to say there won't be start zones. We do have that skill set.

Sierra, There has been some confusion over which "Lincoln slide" I suspect you assumed I meant the West facing slide commonly called Lincoln's Throat which does have vertical ice at the top and would be insane to attempt to ski. I am talking about the East facing slide which dumps into the Pemi...

Anyone done it? Thinking about skiing it and am wondering if the slide can be ascended directly from the bottom rather than what promises to be an unplesant bushwack from the side. I am partcularly concerned about any high angle ice as my party will not have that skillset.

Jacket has arrived! Got it Thursday as promised. It is well made, has all the features ZI requested, and fits perfectly! If you can stand the wait and non commutative nature of beyond clothing as they struggle with too much business, the clothing is great. Would I order again? Yes.

4 Dog stove company but the price of that stove has also ski-rocked. Any small sheepherder stove will do ok for several hundred dollars less than the ti stove. Will send photos of tent when I have more time. Go here for other pictures. wintertrekking.com

Thanks Tom, I didn't know about that site. We use the tent primarily to get to backcountry ski terrain difficulty to access as a daytrip. Haven't found too many other folks who combine warm tent camping with bc skiing so it will be fun to hang out in thaf forum for a while.

I'm afraid the price has gone up quite a bit since I bought mine. Heavy? It depends. The tent sleeps up to 4 and weighs 18 lbs, Not much different than a 'Cold" winter tent on a per person basis. Add 2lbs per person for the woodstove (yep, 8lbs, it's titanium) and you have warm winter space for...

This is my solution. http://www.snowtrekkertents.com/images/shortwall.jpg -20 outside, 45 inside one foot above the ground, 80 degrees one foot from the roof!

Saw that. I assume that is for orders being currently taken, or perhaps not. A response for a multple order customer would still seem to be in order. Thanks for your response.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ordered a new jacket from these folks back in mid December with an expected ship date of 6 weeks out. Here it is mid Feb. and no jacket, no response to multple E-mails and telephone calls asking for status...

Also remember that Franz has farm animals and DOES NOTwant dogs running around off leash. All we need is for him to close off that access as well.

Thanks folks. This has been helpful.

My issue is the feasibility of leaving the car at the Jay Pass turnout. We would probably put in a primitive camp somewhere in the state forest cosistent with primitiive camping regulations, not either of the established camps you folks are discussing.

We would like to do some overnight camping/hiking in the Breadloaf area in Vt. just east of Middlebury. Can anyone tell us about trail heads such as the plowed end of the Lincoln Gap road, Middlebury Gap, or Rec. road 55 traveling west off 100? Is overnight winter parking pemitted at these...
