So many of you know I am SLOWLY recovering from a knee replacement. Before the big snow/ice hits, I was wondering if a Moat mtn hike (NOT traverse) would be appropriate. I did get up to Glen Boulder last weekend with my microspikes but turned back d/t the screaming wind above treeline. So in...

Ok. Stop laughing. I know that most of our beloved routes to the views are not really trails but stone staircases. I am interested in learning which trails are kinder to the feet. I understand that rocks are everpresent, but am interested in trails that might have less of the jagged slippery...

Is anyone planning to go to the NE Tele Fest this weekend at Wildcat? I am a very new Telemarker--crossover from alpine. Was wondering if anyone has attended this in the past can give me any info. I already checked out the website. Are the clinics any good? Is it crowded? Any shwag given out? Is...

Does anyone know the distances between the Pine Brook TH and Sabbaday TH? I am hoping to do this loop sometime soon, and will not have a car spot. Not a big fan of roadwalks, but it will be just part of the hike. Thank you. Sandy

I seem to have gathered at least 6 different backs over the years. I went to EMS this weekend, and bought another Osprey because I liked it and it was comfortable. (It was also 20% off) I have a different pack for backpacking, ice climbing, backcountry skiing, rock climbing, and dayhiking. I...

Heading up to NH this w/e. With the horrid wearther, I was wondering if the plants are in bloom. (mine are rotting from too much water) Anyone know? Thanks Sandy

Is this trail dog friendly? I have never hiked it and I am aware that there is a section of ladders. Are they negotiable by a (big and lumbering) dog? Thanks sandy

I am recovering from rotator cuff surgery and am itching to hike something. I'll be in the Waterville Valley this w/e. Was thinking of going up Tecumseh. I'll be with my gimpy lab, so I'm limited as well. I have read a good number of TRs but would like input from anyone who can give me a...

Thanks to all of you who gave advice on my last post about the Ossipees. Will hike Mt Roberts I am intrigued however, about Black Snout. My hiking partner Miss Rosie, has a large black snout, and when my shoulder allows, I'd like to go up there. I read some TRs, but would like to know about...

Hi all: I am interested in doing a hike in the Ossipees this W/E. I did a general search, but would like ideas on a relatively mellowhike, ice- free, no steep scrambles to somewhere with a view. Length is not a big deal, but would prefer not too challenging, as I just had my rotator cuff...

Interesting ... and frightening. http://www.summitpost.org/article/500874/To-attention-of-all-the-parents-.html

I am so impressed by the users of this forum. I sit here reading trip reports of leaving home in the wee hours, driving several hours from MA, CT, NY VT Canada, etc...doing a traverse, or bagging several peaks, and then driving home way past hiker midnite. How do you accomplish this? The...

Along the line of the tele thread, are there any BC skis that are good for 'all-around" I'd like to be able to use these on both lift server terrain as well as in the backcountry. I'm kind of confused as to where to start. Ideas? Thanks, Sandy

I was wondering if I ascend a summit using BC skis and ski down, does this count to the 48? How about if I walk up and butt slide down? (not exactly 'on foot'. Thanks, Sandy

Is anyone planning any activities for New Years eve? My original non hiking plans have changed, and now I have my eye on a winter hike, mabye a night at a hut, or mabye camping?

I am spending Thanksgiving at my in-laws who live in Nassau county. Though I grew up there, I have absolutely no hiking knowledge about the area. I'd appreciate some imput to get me out of that house:eek: Sanity purposes. I'd go as far as Northern Westchester/putnam/Rockland. Don't really want...

My daughter Hannah and I are considering a short backpack this WE in flattish areas in the Whites as I rehab my knee and we try out some new winter gear. Can anyone tell me if hunters frequently haunt the Pemi or Great gulf areas? Should we skip the backpack and camp in a campground? While blaze...

Never hiked this trail. Considering it for a 1 night BP. Will probably be hiking in at dusk, and I dont want to be stumbling around by headlamp. Thanks
