My husband and daughter are planning on snowshoeing Black Dome tomorrow. We aren't too familiar with the Catskills, doing most of our hiking in the Adirondacks. Any advice? There doesn't seem to be much on trail reports.

I've read a few posts about 2 way radios, but I was wondering if anyone has a specific model to recommend. My husband and I have a pair of FRS motorolas,which aren't very impressive. We realize that terrain is a factor, but would like the best range that we can get. We're willing to get a...

I've had such good luck with suggestions on this site, that now I have one more question. Does anyone have a favorite outer layer for snowshoeing? I wear the usuall layers and an EMS gortex shell. Problem seems to be that I am always too warm. I've tried lighter under layers, but the problem...

A binding broke on my Tubbs last year and I bought a new pair of MSRs, while waiting for my Tubbs to be returned. I like them, but I have a real problem getting them to stay on. The straps are constantly coming loose and I walk out of them. My husband doesn't seem to have the problem when he...

After breaking trail to do Phelps last weekend, we're looking for a shorter and easier trip next weekend. Shorter drive, too. We live near Cortland,NY. We're not very familiar with the Catskill area. We've done Hunter, Windham, and Indian Head. Does anyone have any suggestions for a mountain...

I've searched the site, but can't seem to find out if the hiker lost on 6/6/06 in the Moose river plains area was ever found. His name was Coloney and it said he was a photographer. When we are in a remote area, I often find myself thinking of these people and realized that I never heard if...

I know that the usual hike is to do Dial and Nippletop together, but I'm recovering from some back problems and don't dare hike that far yet. How is the trail to Nippletop from Elk Pass? If we only want to do Nippletop is that the way to go? I did Big Slide via the Brothers and returned by...

Could anyone help me? We have a remote cabin in the Cranberry Lake area and like to drive over and hike in the high peaks area. We have two dogs and I don't hike the high peaks with them, only lesser peaks and trails. Our problem is that it takes too long between the drive and the hours...
