What: Citizen steel-band Ecodrive wristwatch Where: Platte Cove parking lot When: 3 weekends ago Why: Fell out of stupid EMS pack with broken zipper Please help, if you found it...

rude? naw... it's sort of expected when other folks are around, that you all wish to capture the glory of the mountains if you can... I myself prefer to climb mountains where the option doesn't exist, due to the lack of other humans!:cool:

non-compliant? I guess the old lean-to's being removed are in non-compliance with the regulations.... Maybe the ranger's outpost should be relocated or removed as well, to adhere to the rules.

I send this out with not much hope.... I foolishly had a dental appliance, essentially a retainer, in my pocket while coming back down from Tabletop on 6/24... Upon reaching the Loj, it was gone... So, somewhere along the trail is a small retainer, looking like a clear acrylic mold of...

nobody has done it? -- so, legalities aside, blah blah blah, has anyone actually done this trip? Or attempted it? Anyone willing to talk about having done it? Maybe you had a pass, and everything was kosher, so you can spill the beans about it. Or maybe you didn't have a pass, and the statuate...

Thank you, SkyClimber, for the crystal clear declaration.

Ok, I guess that settles it! Although, I don't beleive you're paying to ski down - that part's free. It's the ride up that your "lift ticket" pays for : the lift part. :D

Has anyone here climbed Whiteface (w/ or w/out Esther) and then attempted to ski down the Whiteface Mt. ski slopes? I understand you can ski down (and up, if you wish) the memorial highway, but wonder if it's worth the trouble/any fun/possibly illegal to try and 'whack on over to the top of...

route to Marshall After doing this route from Indian Pass to Lake Colden one summer day a dozen years ago, I vowed never to do it again. And thus I did it again a few years ago. And also last October from the lake to the pass. I think Flowed Lands -> Indian Pass is a bit better, at least...

Trap Dike I was on the TD back on the NewYear eve. It was frozen, but several times my tool went through the ice and liquid water poured forth as if from a spring. Ropes helpful, though we did not tie in that day, just soloed the waterfalls. Thin ice crust on the main slide...sometimes just...

Trap Dike access... A friend and I did the Trap Dike on New Years Eve. We crossed the lake coming and going, and had little difficulty, though punching through in a couple of spots - only sinking <1 inch into slush. We probably weighed 200lbs each w/ all our camping and climbing gear. It...

Caves, etc. Thank you "funkyfreddy" for adding the message about hibernating bats to your last post. That is something we all need to be aware of, if exploring caves during the winter. Not just rare bats, but all bats up here hibernate, and have a very good chance of dying if disturbed...

Hydration Well, I think my 2-litre Platypus weighs a bit less than 2 1-Litre Nalgenes... It's lasted about 5 years so far, several hundred miles of use. Much easier to drink on the go. No having to slow down and/or stop to get a drink, and you can have a tiny squirt to moisten the mouth...

Inverse Style/Quality? Along the lines of your rant, and in a more serious manner... Do any of you folks think that the quality of the NF items (or other high-end brand names) has gone down in recent times as a result of high demand by these consumers that are more concerned with style than...

Goodnow probably well packed Yes, I think Goodnow will be a fine trip for you and your pooch. In addition to whatever regular usage the trail gets this time of year, a class of ~20 students from the AEC went up it on Thursday, so I'm sure they did a heck of a job packing the snow down. Some...
