    Donaldson and Emmons via Calkins Brook

    Trail conditions excellent for this time of year. Gate is open and road very passable.

    Ski Binding for Koflachs

    Does anyone know of a Ski Binding that can be used with Koflachs? I presently use these boots for Snowshoe and Crampons and it would be nice to use them with my Backcountry Skis.

    Mt. Marcy #46 10/23/2004

    This was #46 for my son and I and I think we barely squeezed this one out without using crampons. We started last September and finshed on this day - not bad. We plan on working on our winter 46 with 5 of those completed last winter. This was a great hike - I was happy for the ice and snow...
