Hey folks, I was thinking about heading up to the black range this weekend and parking at the Batavia Kill/Acra trailhead. Is parking available here? I recall seeing signs in the warmer months about no winter access..... Also, are there any Catskill mountains that offer a semi-clear view...

Hi, thanks for the suggestions regarding crampons. Now, I'm also in the market for a packable hooded hiking jacket. I'm debating between spending (alot) more money and getting a down parka that could also be used as a regular winter coat, perhaps like these...

Hi, I'm thinking of ordering a pair of crampons for a hike on some icy terrain. Unfortunately I don't know alot about boot compatibility. I'd like to use them with basic hiking boots. Here is a pair I'm interested in on ebay...

http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/me/public.html The northwest corner of maine has recieved over 40 inches from this storm and is expecting more later this week. Anyone know where snowfall totals from this in canada can be found? It would be interesting to see some comparisons.

Hi, quick question: I've noticed from various snowdepth and snowfall reports that jay peak boasts more than 50% higher amounts than other areas. For example the ski area claims 350 inches annually, nearly 100 higher than mansfield or washington. Likewise in '01 they claimed a record of 571...
