This was the last day of the climbing season and wasn't sure if the river was still crossable. It was, but only just. Water was flowing over the top of the icy slushy bridge, but made it across with feet still dry. The trail was packed enough that the snowshoes would only go thru if stepping off...

Having to commit Saturday and most of Sunday to Canadian thanksgiving... gobble, gobble. I planned to join up with the group that were camping for the weekend at Paradox lake. Knowing that Freddy and Gail were itching to hike as well and could only get down early Monday morning, I planned a...

I was always told that I couldn't "organize" a pissup in a brewery, so I want to prove that I can. :cool: Our very own Funky Freddy will be performing at the home of one of my favorite brews St Ambroise and I would like to propose we gather for a brew or two before the show which will be held...

After reading various conflicting weather reports I decided to go for Bennies Brook slide up to Lower Wolf Jaw. After 2 of my hiking buddies dropped out Friday night I gave Gail and Freddy a call to see if they wanted to join me. Freddy was busy but Gail was gung ho for another trip (they did...

Allen on Skis and Foot After Saturday's incredible day of hiking in the Santanoni's with many a friend from this Forum, I wondered what I could do for an encore on Sunday. Well I knew it was going to be another sunny day and I thought while I was down this way and had my back country skis with...

The trail was hard packed all the way. I skied halfway, hiked the rest. The opalescent river is still passable but wouldn't be safe after next thaw.

Very cold day with extreme wind chill factor on summit. Trail well broken and wore snowshoes the whole way. Decided against going to Iroquois due to high winds and Colden the rapidly cooling dog. Started at 8-05am back at Loj by 1-40pm.

I know there are a lot of people on here who are more familiar with the Whites than I am, so thought I'd ask you for some suggestions. I am planning to meet up with some friends coming up from Boston to hike with me. They are newcomers to the states from Europe and are very keen to experience...

Like Jean I'm not terribly good at writing trip reports but thought I would share my latest pictures from my vacation in europe. PICTURES or you can watch SLIDESHOW here. The top of the mountain is at the border of Slovakia and Poland and the highest peak in Poland at 8,200 ft. The biggest...

I'm busy typing out my final reports so I will give a more detailed write up later. Hit the summit of Haystack with a 6 great hikers from these forums on Monday February25th 2008 at 12-50 pm. OK so 25 years is a long while but as TeeJay always tells me "What's the rush"! The weather was...

It is definitely time for another Montreal beer gathering! I know for sure Neil and I will be attending. Any others? I'd like to suggest we try out a new location. Le Vieux Dublin Pub on University near Place Ville Marie which is pretty central. I was there about 3 weeks ago and the food was...

I thought I'd add my own very rare write up, as I was out there in that heat on Thursday (2nd)climbing Allen and couldn't let it go without a word or two. Having read many TR's on Allen and knowing what a slog it is... Mimi and I decided to hike it on the hottest day of the year :eek: ....It...

I think we are overdue for another beer night in the Montreal area,especially as I and one or two others missed the last one. How about we have a vote as to where we go. I guess it should be somewhere central to cater for the out of towners. Here is a site with a few pubs to choose from ...

Does anybody know the conditions on the Toll road? Is it fit to ski as of today? I am planning on skiing it tomorrow (Sunday) if it's doable. Anybody want to come along? Thanks Phil

I'm heading up to this area next week (The Gaspesie in Quebec)and thought I'd check out conditions..... Avalanche report There is Extreme Avalanche risk for today in the area and continuing high for the next few days... Our group is probably going to have to rent beacons and necessary emergency...

I wasn't sure if I should post this trip here as it's a little outside of the general hiking North East topics, but it was such a great event I thought I'd share it with you anyway. The Canadian Ski Marathon celebrated it's 40th Aniversary last weekend. It started out as a three day...

Note: Date has been changed to Tuesday December 6th. The guilt is beginning to hit.... after missing the last TWO beer nights in Montreal, I would like to propose a new date. We could call it the Pre-Winter hiking booze up. It's a busy time with the holidays coming up so let's make it pretty...

Winter has hit with a bang on Mt. Washington this year, with another 27.5" record fall last night. High Danger Avalanche warnings have been posted. Check it out at.... http://www.mountwashington.org/avalanche/index.html

Myself and a few friends are planning on backpacking into the Sewards shortly and was wondering if there are any problems with bears in the Ward Brook leanto area? Although cannisters aren't compulsory in the western adirondacks yet, I am considering purchasing one for food storage. I will...

I have just finished reading all the great info on Digital Cameras and thought another post like that on watches (Altimeter...heart rate etc.) would be nice. I'm in the market for one but there is so much to choose from. :confused: Something under $200 would be good for me although I know they...
