The word subsidize carries a negative connotation. How about we use “support” instead.

In a state that markers itself on tourism, supporting operations like ski areas and summit facilities seems...

Not sure I follow you here. What is the state subsidizing and not subsidizing?

This isn't that hard!

The summit is a State Park. Treat it like one.

Like National Parks, concessionaires are allowed to operate within it providing transportation, food, etc.

Wow Seth, what a great video. Really well done. Thanks for posting.

As I watched it I reflected on my many nights of winter tent camping in varied conditions and why I preferred tenting:

Ha! You're probably correct.

My takeaway from the book is: Know the big picture indicated the weather report before you start. And don't bet your life on the exact chronology provided.

I think that famous quote by Mike Tyson might apply here: "Everybody's got a plan until the get punched in the mouth."

Warming the canisters is a real PITA but can be managed. I always felt it safer to use a canister stove for in-tent cooking rather than liquid fuel.

Overall I'd agree. Soloing in Winter in general is always a bit dicey.

Anybody have a soft support brand or style you'd recommend?

Fantastic to read ColdFeet. Thanks for posting.

Geez, we got a lot of Pierce fans here! Next time I'm in the Notch I'll do it again and see what the love is about. :)

Some of you might find this NYT article about doing the 48 of interest. Especially if you've been touched by suicide.

(I believe you can access it despite the paywall.)

When I did peak (which was a while ago) there was overhead thick spruce at the canister. We did not search for a view spot. Is that pic taken from the top?

Peak Above the Nubble is another classic no view winner. (Although the Nubble itself has a rather nice view. Strange.)

One way out of that trap is the use of checklists. Not done in hiking but a given in aviation. When things go wrong and don't seem to add up, go to the list for a logical and clear problem solving...

You are PERFECTLY positioned to take on the 100 Highest!
