So one cold Sunday morning over coffee donna says she's hiking the Osceolas. I ask her who she is hiking with. She says she's hiking solo. Some of you know of donna's legendary navigational skills. I thought it best to tag along. That was my first winter peak. Huge congrats hotdonna!!!

USFS coordinates rescues in Cuttler River Drainage from December 1 through May 31. NHF&G handles all others. Snowcat would not be practical for most situations. F&G does use snowmachines and ATV's. SAR volunteers try to be on the scene within an hour of a callout. MRS rocks :cool:

Congrats Mark. Well done. You best mind that woman. She's way too tough to mess with.

Given the deteriorating weather conditions crossing the ridge over Lincoln and Lafayette summits would not be a good choice. Heading for Falling Waters got everyone off the exposed ridge much sooner. The real obstacle on Falling Waters would be high water levels at crossings. Normally when...

Way to go Fred :cool: Were you guys toasting marshmellows up there? http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?46219-Be-sure-your-Camp-Fires-are-TOTALLY-EXTINGUISHED!

USFS only does S&R in Tuckerman Ravine area during winter months. Not their problem.

The road has been rerouted so it doesn't go through the middle of the field anymore. And there are two cooking pavilions...enjoy!
