Getting chased by Gerald Romero near the finish Well, that was fun. A week away from the heat, humidity and bugs of New England was just what I needed. Summer is my least favorite season and the crash that I usually experience after Mt. Washington, good race or not, leaves me longing for the...

Copied from my blog at kltilton.blogspot.com WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. SOME OF THE WORLD'S WORST WEATHER HAS BEEN RECORDED ABOVE TREELINE ON MT. WASHINGTON. UNPREPARED TRAVEL ABOVE TREELINE CAN HAVE LETHAL CONSEQUENCES. Now that I have that out of the way, on to the story. I wouldn't...

Date of Hike: 12/7/10 Trail Conditions: 6-10" of fresh snow, rocks covered, but still under there. Few minor blowdowns Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes! Deep drifts in open areas Comments: I was the first set of tracks up and downs this morning. Snowshoes a must. Your name: Kevin...

My friend Jim Johnson and I are attempting a Hut Traverse tomorrow. Say hi if you see us!

On Monday, March 1 at 7:30PM on Channel 5 in Boston, there will be a segment on snowshoe running and racing on Chronicle HD. They spent the day doing different activities at King Pine / Purity Springs Resort and interviewed me about snowshoe running. I don't know how much ended up on the cutting...

7:04:47 by Ben Nephew and myself. Complete right up tommorow w/ splits and limited photos. I am tired. Thanks to all who were courteous and let us by during our exploits.

Me above treeline sucking wind on Pikes Peak (from Incline Club picasa page) “Why would anyone want to run up a 14,000 foot mountain if you don’t live at altitude?” That is a question I’ve been asked hundreds of times. It’s hard. It’s a challenge. I couldn’t find a better race in August to fill...

Anyone been on the Davis Path recently? My friend Paul and I are planning on running up to Washington tommorow. I've only been up to Giant Stairs and that was in winter. Any beta would be greatly appreciated.

Yesterday I set out for a run after work to the top of Mt. Washington. I've run to the summit numerous times on the auto road, both as part of the road race and in training. I've been up through Huntington Ravine, summited on a Presi Traverse, and hiked up Lion Head in the winter. Last summer I...

Both trails in good shape, but very wet. Lots of standing water on Hammond Trail. No blowdowns to speak of.

Date Hiked: 5/17/08 The above trails are free off snow except for a few patches in shaded areas on the Shoal Pond Trail. Water crossings were fairly low for this time of year. Shoal Pond Trail has a lot of blowdowns and mud. Thoreau Falls Trail in pretty good shape. Did the loop (21.4 miles) in...

Couple of inches of new snow. Packed out by three snowshoers all the way to the summit and back. Only a little trouble at the one stream crossing. One major blowdown at the Walden Trail / Square Ledge Trail junction.

Trails have been packed out by 5 skiers today. Skipped a lot of Thoreau Falls Trail by skiing the North Fork of the Pemi instead. Great day. Get out there before we get another storm!

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any GPS tracks from any hikes that have been done on the Bondcliff Trail or the Twinway. I am particularly interested in the low points between Guyot and Bond and South Twin and Bond. I am curious as to what the col depth seems to be based on handheld GPS...

Anyone going up to Tucks to watch or race in the Inferno of Saturday? I still haven't heard any word on what they are going to do for the ski leg. I guess we'll know Saturday morning. I'll be running the hiking leg. I'll be wearing a blue and white singlet. Yell "Alligator Eggs" if you see me...

Is anyone interested in a Pemi Ski Through in a couple of weeks? It seems like the snow is good enough and most of the stream crossings are frozen. I'm not looking to do it as fast as possible. Just a nice long easy ski through the woods. I was thinking of skiing in through Zealand Rd. or the...

If you're in the Mount Washington Valley this weekend pick up a copy of The Mountain Ear. There is an article on our own Tom and Atticus!

Just checking to see if anyone has skied the Wilderness Trail from Lincoln Woods recently. My fiance and I are looking to maybe ski there this weekend if there is sufficient cover. How about the Pemi East Side Trail? Thanks for any info.

Does anyone know what the "snowpack" is like in these areas at lower elevaions? I drove through there last weekend by the Gale River Rd. and the snow looked plentiful. Has much of it stuck around this week? I'd like to do some XC skiing this weekend. Thanks.
