Wool, SmartWool. I'll take mine in Lightweight NTS. Nothing beats it. Even in the summer.

Does anyone have beta on Greeley Ponds? How's the skiing? Were they in the 'kill zone' from the big snow?

Yup, sloppy but fun! I did the 6.3 mile NEMBA loop and definitely prepare to be ankle deep in mud in some places, but it's very loose, watery mud. As Audrey mentioned there are a lot of frost heaves but for the most part it was a fun run today. The light layer of snow we go this morning made...

I'm heading back over later this morning or this afternoon to run the NEMBA loop. Will post upon return...

I live about a mile from the Fells. Last Monday (15th) I mountain biked the NEMBA loop (the mtb loop you spoke of) and while there a few patches that were too slick to ride most of the snow was packed on the fire roads and at trail intersections (and it was mostly rideable) while almost all of...

@Mattl The plan was to avoid the longer drive and head into western MA or sw NH. But, maybe the longer drive should be put back on the docket!

Well, with the rain goes my backcountry ski adventure plans for this weekend. The upside is that the trails here in the Boston area are going to be primo for trail running and mountain biking as soon as they dry out!

Thanks for all the responses. The way tomorrow's storm is setting up it's looking like we're going to want to get into the good stuff we're going to have to go north and west! Most of MA will probably get rain out of this next one...and who needs that? Cheers..

So it looks like ground zero for these two storms we're getting will be western Mass and NH and all of VT. Anyone have a recommendation for a good half day or day long ski tour? My set up is a free heel on Karhu 10th Mtns so I'm not looking for any huge climbs but some climbing and...

Just built a snowcave in the front yard here in Melrose and we're now heading out for a headlamp snowshoe at the Fells! Bring it Ullr!

Ok! You guys have helped to make this thread so much fun! Enjoy your holidays and try to lighten up.

Sorry should have clarified. No need to be from NH and it is way more fun than trolling the lot at the local high school or church...and way less expensive. The trees are more of the Charlie Brown variety, but they have character and you have the best story to tell all your friends. Everyone...

Didn't see much on the conditions page so thought I'd ask. We're heading up to cut down our Xmas tree in the WMNF tomorrow, specifically along the Kanc and I was wondering how that area fared during the 'corker' this week. Snowshoes a must for good tree hunting? As an aside if you have not...

Started as rain here in Melrose, got about an inch of snow and now it's back to rain. I can take it because it's dumping up north...we'll get ours hopefully next month!

Heard there may be more coming this weekend too? Anyone have some beta on that one?

Does anyone know of a site similar to this one but Utah specific? I've found some good info on SummitPost.org but wanted to see if there was something more like this community. Thanks all! Cheers, -ct

So we're thinking of loading up the car with the family (wife, 3-year old, dog) and heading north to the Whites with no clear intention. Call it a brief two day road trip. Anyone have secret spots where it's easy to call it a day and camp without reservations and without breaking any rules...

Anyone been up to Pitcher Mountain in Stoddard, NH recently? Have I missed the harvest or are there still berries left up there? Cheers! -ct

I'm looking for some good flat water paddling around Marblehead, MA. Looks like if you head into Beverly or Salem Harbors you'll find some good estuary paddling, but curious about where the best put-in's are. I'll be taking out my folks who aren't too keen on the swells of the open sea, hence...
