Congratulations to the Winter Warriors!

As we head into the final weekend of winter, I just wanted to say congrats to those who finished their W48, did them solo, or finished in one season. It's been a great winter! I just got my patch in the mail.

And the same to the W46'ers!

And the same to the W46'ers!

Right! My focus is a little narrow this year, sorry.

Congratulations, everyone! And for those who are trying to finish up in the next week and a half -- be careful out there (don't let summit fever cloud your judgment).

And to those who just hiked/camped/skied this winter and were safe in doing so.

Yes, Yes & Yes.
I'm almost certain, I would not be alive had I pushed for Passaconaway after Whiteface at the end of 04 when I got back into it.
But it's right there! No, she said! But? No!! Back & Forth it went. She won! I Won!
Oh, & the mountain really didn't go anywhere.

Thanks again Jim.

What did the old winter patch look like?

I don't have one but I think just the piping color changed from red to blue, this one was re-designed. Maybe someone here has a picture of the old one they would share.

This question came up before (see post #36 and #40). The patches were both the same except for red "AMC" on 'all season' and white "AMC" on winter. Some said the sizes were different for theirs but mine are the same size.

Thanks Carole,

it looks like a change was due.

I got two...

Had fun doing it though, and Washington and Bondcliff were pretty sweet all the same.

Is it my imagination or is the single-season winter 48 becoming increasingly fashionable? Seems there are more finishers this year than last.

I would wager there are many, many hikers who have done this in years past, who have not put their names on Cath's website (they didn't want to publicize it or they didn't know there WAS a website).

I think the change may be in the number of people who want to do it, and then let folks know they've done it.
