    I’d like to try out a new set of cross country boards on the trails out of Lincoln Woods this weekend. With the recent crazy weather I have no idea what conditions to expect. Any beta would be appreciated.

    Glastonbury Mt via Somerset Airfield beta ?

    I’m looking for any info about the network of forest roads and sled trails linking the Somerset airfield area to Glastonbury peak. I’ve perused every sort of topo map and other imagery ( and I’ve searched for paper maps of sled and atv routes with no luck) and was hoping for some boots-on-ground...

    I have a couple of backpacks in need of repair. Shoulder straps becoming unstitched from the pack (probably from carrying too much crap) and that type of thing. Does anyone in southern New England handle this sort of thing ?

My only big problem is how do I get to the point where me and my kayak are at Chamberlain Lake and my truck is at Allagash Village. I know that my options are 1: Park at Allagash Village and get transport to...

    Mid-State/Wapack Trail Question

    Is there a trail (or series of trails) that would make a reasonable connection between the Mid-State/Wapack trail and the Monadnock- Sunapee Greenway? I'm just trying to figure a way between the two trails that minimizes road walking.

    Tubbs Repair?

    I have an older pair of Tubbs Sierras. The frame is in good shape but both the deck and binding have issues that are beyond my Jedi skills. I hate to give up on them. Does Tubbs still have customer service or could anyone recommend a repair shop?

    Mystery Hike in the Pemi

    Sunday morning I backpacked into the Pemi to do some fishing. An equipment malfunction quickly put an end to the fishing so I had to come up with a plan B. I recalled seeing a railroad grade on an old map and decided to have a look. After a little poking around I scrambled up a hill and was...

This was on her netbook so she tried the whole process again on the PC. Same person's info was there. She called...

    Beta about the Silvertta 500 binding

    I'm putting together a touring/AT setup on a Karhu army-issue ski. The Silverttas have great reviews on the interwebs (so it MUST be true) for use with Koflach mountaineering boots. I was wondering if anyone here had experience with this binding.

    Inn Unique ?

    I swear I have a book that describes an inn in the Whites, back in the day, that catered to climbers called Inn Unique. Unfortunately my wife and I are both unrepentant used-bibliophiles so our extra room is grommet-deep in books and there's no chance I'm ever going to find it again. Does anyone...
