Going up to NH this weekend, Carter Hut. Updates on conditions would be appreciated. Going to Bring snowshoes, microspikes and crampons, heard most are just carrying the snowshoes. Thanks

You might want to check this out daily, sir:

Marty, what does "stake" mean in that weather report? Amount of packed snow?

Exactly. They keep a stake at the hut to measure the snow. I am sure you will notice it when you visit. For me, the best thing about the AMC hut reports are the trail conditions and the amount of snow at the stake. Have fun!
