I'm already getting excited about winter peak bagging and hope to do Vermont 4Ks as soon as winter officially arrives. Does anyone know the date and hour of arrival in winter. Do you need to start climbing after winter starts or can you start before winter starts and arrive on top after the official time?
Do the ski areas in Vermont allow people to snow shoe up the side of the gloomed trail? I notice that there are ski areas on Mansfield, Ellen + Abraham, and Killington. If they don't allow snow shoeing up, which trails are more heavily used in winter and more likely to be tramped out? Which trail up Camel's hump is more likely to be tramped out in winter?
I'll be doing Vermont peaks Dec. 21-25 and would love company.
In February and winter March I hope to do some Maine 4Ks. Companions welcome. I need all for winter except Sugarloaf. What is the official hour of start of spring?
I'm not very fast, but full of determination!
