Congratulations Earl and Sue! I wish I could have joined you but for some reason I lost all your contact info. I also do not navigate this site very well and have not found any of yor trip reportssince last winter.
started out in a heavy shower but soon took off the rain pants and a layer. The sun came out for 5 min. then it would rain again then it turned to sleet and finally snow probably covering the ground around 3000'. at least it gave some traction on the ice and monorail. We put on microspikes when...
Pine Bend Brook Trail, Mt. Tripyramid trail and Sabbaday Trail
Bare trail until about the junction. At the steep climbs below the top of N. Tri., trail was very icy. We wore spikes so as not to ruin the sides of the trail. We also decided to come down Sabbaday instead of coming down the ice...
minor old ice and snow in patches between bare ground on Lincoln Woods trail, increasing with a lot of mud the closer you got to Owls Head. The slide had about 4" of wet sticky snow on it that made going up much easier than it was just 10 days ago. The ice underneath the snow was getting a...
I bare booted until just below the first part of the slide. Going in Greely P. trail the ground was covered with a packed snow ice mix but boots were fine. After the junction there was bare ground and stretches of packed snow/ice. I put on microspikes where it started to really gain...

Feb. 14, 2011 Pine Bend brook Trail and Mt. Tripyramid trail Well broken out trail and only need snowshoes or light traction. A couple of blowdowns that are easily gone under or around. Water crossings are all snowbridged enough to cross out of water
Found 2 things that were lost by a 30ish guy...
Water crossings are fine and the ground was bare about 2/3 way up. Then microspikes worked much better on the monorail. The rocky section below the top must receive lots of sun as that was bare. Lots of wildflowers at the lower elevations. We couldn't believe somebody left the peal of 2...
Cannon snow
We drove through the notch Monday morning and it was snowing hard, the road needed a snowplow. Wed, we tried to reach N. Twin and even with a good size group, we did not make it to the top as we were breaking trail all the way. We reached our turnaround time before we reached the...
Stony Brook Trail starting up at the road from the residential area.
At the beginning right off the road there was a foot of heavy sticky untracked snow that only got deeper the further we went. It turned to knee deep lighter snow but was hard going for 4 senior citizens. Trail finding proved...
we used snowshoes all the way. Well packed trail with 1" of new snow at beginning increasing up to 2" with drifts just before the ledges. Started down towards Webster but once down in the trees after the steep part, we were unable to find the trail so turned around and went back the way we...
