Chicken man! Kia, Chips and Paradox (John), I think this was my first VFTT group hike.

Trail Conditions: Trail is packed. The road walk to the trailhead is 1.2 miles. 2.6 from the trailhead to the summit. Trail between Abraham and Ellen not broken out. Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes. Comments: Talked a group coming up from Battell Trail, they confirmed that the road is...

Mansfield via Long Trail - 2/15/14 Trail Conditions: Trail is packed all the way to Taft Lodge. We're planning on taking Profanity Trail but opted to follow the packed trail, which apparently deviated slightly from the actual trail (Long trail). Watch out for skiers. Special Equipment...

As long the place is open, we will be there! We'll have more of this impromptu night out anyway. :p

Wonderful, hope you can make it! BTW, judging by your avatar, you will fit in with this crew very well!! ;)

Hi, few folks are getting together Wednesday (2/5) at a tavern in North Reading for a mini gathering. We want to extend the invite to all of you, new and old folks to come have few drinks with us! I should be there around 6:30 pm, looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones...

Wow! Can't believe I still remember my password! Wassssup skimom!

I am going to Baxter in few weeks, the "practice" is also just for fun. :)

Bob, you're very kind :). That was a fun outing! The suspension bridge over East Branch was removed, right? if not that will be the ideal route. Sawyer Rive road is an interesting option too. Thanks. Was considering WIld River valley too, but the water crossing may be too much for pulk...

Hi I am a novice XC skier, looking for a good and somewhat longer route to test pulling my pulk on skis. There are two routes I have in mind: From 302, take Zealand trail, Ethan Pond trail via Shoal Pond to Still water junction. I've never been on Shoal pond, and saw that there are couple of...

Woohoo! What a fun hike with fun group of people, most of all, what a pleasure to have joined you and Geneva on her finish! Well done! I still remembered on our winter finish few months ago, because we're running behind schedule and missed meeting up with you and Geneva on Mt Washington. By the...

Hi Mark, it was very nice to meet you and Natalie. What a gorgeous day to be on the slide. Great report and awesome pictures!!

Amazing collection of pictures! My eyes are very happy, thank you!!

The trail is well packed all the way to the false summit. Snow field above the alpine zone sign is hard packed by the elements, you could hardly see or leave any tracks. The trail in the col is broken but soft packed. No big snow drift to negotiate at all. Very windy at the summit, no views of...

Van HO as usual is a well packed highway. The trail up Phelps is packed, and the upper section is very icy. The entrance to Tabletop's herdpath is obvious and the rest the path is packed too. Thanks Neil!! :) We both used MSR snowshoes with aggressive crampons at the bottom, and found that...

Trail is broken out. river is frozen but not solid, a section of ice about 25 feet away broke and fell as Kim was crossing it. At the junction, there are few tracks that ultimately lead to no way. We couldn't find the N and S craving on the trees. The path up Nye and Street were both packed, but...

So I get a little carried away, I emailed strangers online (wait a minute... never mind ;)) to get more input about the tracking... Here is his response: Jason did see a pine marten the next day near Colvin. Very cool!

it's about damn time!! :D:D Congrats, it looks like a great trip, and let me know when you want to do Scar Ridge.

I found this online, the overall shape does looks like what we saw. Kim who was there too thought the paw size was more like 2-2.5". I remembered the paw prints were all in similar size, no distinct different between the hind and front paw. Wish I took more pictures :(. I was hoping it was...
