I'm coming up to do Mt. Doublehead cabin for the night on Feb. 27 and will arrive the day before, for a night at the White Mt. Hostel in Conway. I've got two friends who will join me. One is a backcountry skier, like me, the other is more comfortable on less steep terrain. Since we'll be skiing...

The write-up at Recreation.gov says the cabin has a wood stove. I don't expect it will do much to keep the place that warm but the main question is how likely is it that any wood can be had in the immediate area of the cabin? I am assuming this will be much like Spruce Peak Shelter on the L.T...

Just got the sole of one half of a pair of old Merrill XC boots restitched. Still too good to throw away but not usable unless the welt could be restitched. Had asked at Limmer's about the possibility of getting it repaired there when passing through Intervale this past winter. They might be...

Anyone have any recollection of a cabin in the W.R.W. in the vicinity of the eponymous Spider Bridge?

I'm curious what the history is of this location that popped up using Garmin's MapSource software. I assume it has some basis in reality but is no longer in existence just like the location of the "DOC Camp" near the Baker Rd. Cross Rivendell trailhead that also shows up using the same software.

http://www.wildaboutweather.com/winter-forecast-2015-2016.html Of all the ones I've seen so far, this is the most detailed. If you wonder how the analog years compare to the average snow depths on Mt. Mansfield (at the Stake) look at this post on Hoosac Range Skiing...

I am planning a bucket list ski blitz of backcountry routes during the Feb. break from teaching school. I expect to be living out of the back of my pick up truck for five days and am wondering if there are might be a couple of places I could stop in to get clean between hard days skinning and...

For those that don't regularly check on this, I think the April desktop from the Green Mountain Club is particularly striking. I've enjoyed every month's image but this stands out as one of the best. http://www.greenmountainclub.org Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Work on the wind farm continues apace. The summit is unapproachable with amount of de/con-struction that is going on. Best to avoid going right now.

When the topic of WMNF users fees comes up my traditional rant was always this: the fee applied only to the drivers of cars since there was no way to collect the fee from someone who hitchhiked, or took public transportation, to the trailhead. That being the case I always wondered why the...

The following post in trail conditions by an unregistered guest got me thinking. How long has it taken you to complete the L.T. (or A.T., P.C.T., M&M, or whatever long distance hiking trail you can think of)? For yours truly it took from Dec. of '70 until July of '07 to finish the L.T. (36...

If you are so inclined, check out the Green Mountain Club's website at:http://www.greenmountainclub.org/ There is a source for monthly downloads, including the calendar for that month, of desktop background images of the Green Mountains. They all feature photographs by Paul Hansen. This...

Having just returned from helping the newly formed Thunderbolt Ski Patrol set up the safety systems for next Saturday's race I can say that the trail is in great shape and given a day like yesterday would make an excellent event to come watch. Rescheduled from an original date of Feb. 20, it is...
