Sadly, I don't know what it was called, maybe the Little Headwall? I took an AMC class and we hiked up past Hojos and somewhere along there on the right was a nice snowfield with more than enough pitch for self-arrest but well out of the way of skiers and not too long, either. I'm sorry I don't...

Note that if you do a new install you won't have any of the automatically-downloaded updated map tiles.

Nope, the video was not Jeremy's work; however, it was indeed created by a VFTT member. You can figure it out from the YouTube channel. :)

Belated Congratulations!

Woo-hoo!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

As of a USFS announcement this morning and updating of the WMNF road status page, just about everything is closed.

Don't forget that you cannot use the bicycle if you're planning to count these peaks towards your AMC 4K lists (NE67, NE100).

USFS has announced some roads have closed. In particular, Upper Hall Pond Road, Tripoli Road, and Long Pond Road have joined Bear Notch Road, Hurricane Mountain Road, and Ravine Lodge Road as closed.

The website was updated today 11/21 and that phrase has been removed - while they still refer to NHDOT they simply directly state that Bear Notch Road and Hurricane Mtn Road are closed for the season.

Anyone have any data points on the Tubbs Flex Alp vs the Flex Trk?

It's far more important to make sure you find the real summit, and don't stop at either the cabin or the fire tower clearing adjacent. ;-)

I'm going to wait and see how 2015 turns out. I want to see if there's a rise in “negligent” hiking as people feel like they can do anything between having a cell phone and their Hike Safe card paid up.

Woo-hoo! Way to go Pepper!!! (and John) :)

It's not just sole-sucking, it's soul-sucking!

FYI in winter that's a groomed snowmobile trail. Stay on the edge, use caution, and I recommend having a headlamp set to flasher mode and pointing backwards if you're on it after dark.
