Any recent trail reports? Last saw on NETC was that 12th of January. Thank you

That report at the top is from my trail buddy and her dog - they've done the 48 and are chipping away at Winter now. It's a pity that more folks don't file reports at NETC, it's such a wonderful resource. I try to for my winter hikes at least, when getting that info is so critical. You can try looking through the large facebook groups, but it's hit or (mostly) miss what you'll find, and the search function isn't very refined.

Mountain Forecast indicates a pretty good day tomorrow. I'll give it a shot. Thank you for the reply.

MWObs Higher Summits Forecast is essential reading for any hike in the Whites, especially for a tall mountain next to Washington.

We don't file winter reports on NETC any more for many of our snowshoe hikes, in particular those local to us, unless it's for a very commonly used trail -- been burned too many times by making public a nice snowshoe track only to come back a few days later and find it wrecked with frozen postholes. But yes, if it's a popular trail in the Whites, we'll post on NETC.

Yup, the parasitic barefoot post-holders, as the owner of NETC calls them, the scourge of winter recreation in the mountains, along with butt sledders. At least snowmobilers rescue moose. But, overall, I think that NETC reports are a plus, if for no other reason than pointing out blowdowns that need attention from trail maintainers.

Time for this one again. https://www.google.com/search?sca_e...ate=ive&vld=cid:d5527f9f,vid:RYivAQbYfoQ,st:0
