Last year was my first winter hiking season and I managed not only to stay alive and keep all of my fingers and toes but I had a helluva lot of fun and bagged about 10 ADK high peaks to boot.
1-Favourite moment: sitting atop Phelps with Hillman1 in the brilliant sunshine yucking it up for over an hour.
2-Toughest: 15 hours of non-stop travelling in the Sewards to only get Donaldson in chilly weather (Hi Rik! I hear you now! LOL).
3-Coldest: Minus 25C at noon on Colvin with Spaddock last January. Brrrr.
4-Craziest: OK it wasn't solar winter but 3 of us took off on a crazy trek up Calkins to summit Seward for Eric's 46th last April. How does 4 feet of rotten spring snow sound?
5-Warmest: February on Allen. Short sleeve shirts on the summit in blazing sunshine. Oh yeah!
What are your memories?
