My plan is to come up early Thursday, and set up camp. I then need to go into N. Conway to either buy or rent a sleeping bag at IME or EMS. Afterward, I want to go to Wildcat for the rest of the day. Any beginners/intermediates interested in a day at Wildcat? Mark

It's looking like the storm about to hit the Whites Friday thru Saturday is going to be a snow event rather than rain. Currently 4-7" is forecast for Friday in Lincoln! :) I was on Moosilauke last weekend and Gorge Brook had good ski conditions from 4600 to 3700 feet. Unfortunatly I didn't...

Any interest in doing Moosilauke this Saturday? I'm planning on leaving Leominster early and getting on the trail about 6:30-7AM. Not sure of the trail yet, but probably either Beaver Brook or Gorge Brook. Mark

I was inspired by Vegematic's post in the "Where do I learn to Telemark" thread. So, instead of hijacking that one, I'm starting a new one. If there's any tele beginners who would be interested in hooking up at Wachusett (started snow making last night!) mid-week evenings, or perhaps at...

Time for my annual EMS plug. The recent cool mornings have been getting me thinking about the approaching hiking/skiing season. So, I decided now was the time to bring my beloved EMS 2 layer Goretex jacket in for a lining repair. They had replaced the entire main zipper for free last year, and...

Well, with the shortening days, I've been recently finding that those brand new Fischer Outtabounds that I bought at the end of the season, ignored all summer in their spot behind the entertainment center in the living room, are beginning to catch my eye more and more. Then, on waking up this...

I'm thinking of heading up to Manchester Saturday for my first trip of the season to my old local area. Thinking of doing the Turkey Burner loop, maybe the Tower Hill Loop, and DEFINITLY the fomba singletrack that's open. Anyone?

Just got an email reminder from EMS on their 20% off Club Days sale, today and tomorrow. Looks like the discount applies to mail orders as well. Mark

I'm just trying to see if there's any interest in a VFTT end to end hike of the Wapack Trail. It extends 21 miles from Watatic in Ashburnham, MA to North Pack Monadnock in Greenfield , NH. The book time by the AMC Southern NH Trail Guide is 13 hours, 15 minutes. I'd personally put it at about 12...

I'm getting a bit interested in this ski descent. Could anyone tell me if this is a doable trip for an intermediate with Karhu Ursa skis (65-55-60, partial edges), SNS Profil bindings and light touring boots? Are skins necessary? Also, anyone recently been there with beta on the snow conditions?

I got this off the Wachusett NEMBA mailing list. It's a NEMBA group ride, minus the mountain bikes! Anyone interested, just show up, or IM me.

Just posting a link to a quick 360 degree panorama I put together from 9 shots at the summit of Moriah Sunday during my hike with MarshallM and Clark. Taken with a Canon S110 digital Elph. http://home.comcast.net/~wi1w/Moriah_360.jpg

I had a fine hike last weekend of Moriah. However, and old nemesis reared its ugly head. I went light and hiked in my old-style Alpina Mount leathers instead of my Lowa Civetta plastics. I have a problem with these boots where the heel lever of my BD Switchblade step in crampons starts digging...

I'm probably going to play hooky and get in some skiing at Prospect Mountain in Woodford, VT. this Friday. Anyone want to get in on it? Mark

Looking for any interested parties for a Saturday or Sunday hike of Moriah. MarshallM and I were planning on hiking it on 3/7, but cancelled due to weather. We're planning on leaving from our respective towns in MA about 4 AM and getting on trail about 7 AM. Any interest please contact me or...

Is anyone interested in hooking up for XC skiing at Northfield Mountain XC Center in MA this Sunday? They got 6" of snow this week. I've never been there, but it's an easy drive for me so I thought I'd check it out. I'm a 1st season skiier but not doing too badly, so I'm looking to set an easy...
