As someone who has made the transition from Nylon and wool to Goretex and fleece. Can a knowledgeable person(s) explain the soft-shell concept and what the various layers are and their function. My first look sort of took my breath away (at the prices) and I'm wondering what sort of increase...

I'm returning to the Pilot Range on Saturday, the three southern peaks were pretty easy in the past but Hutchins was pretty rough on the south die and top of the westerly trending ridge from the main ridgeline. Any recent experience on how the north side of this ridge is? Any alternate...

Any comments on the state of stream crossings and snowpack on the Hancocks?

Lately I've been experiencing some pain in my left knee on downhills. the center is behind the kneecap. Years ago i had thispborblem and dealt with it by a combination of hamstring curls and quad extensions but I now have pain when trying to do the quad exercises. I'd love an explanation of...

We got about a foot of very light powder at Cardigan this weekend, changed the trails from trecherous (sp?) and icy to pleasant. Perhaps we can yet salvage something from this annoyingly midwestern winter.

We snowshoed up Hedgehog Sunday, avoided the crossing of downes Brook by taking a gated logging road. There was still lots of snow until we got to the ledges and the trail was heavily post holed. We didn't have much fun with the post holes but then the post holers probably didn't have much fun...

I've been asked to give a short talk on New Englan dweathe rfor a winter hiking school. It's easy to find forecasts/ summit/valley and avalanche but I'd like a source for the why is NE weather so grim with high winds, what are trends, typical weathe rprogressions. Thanks for any suggestions

I've been told that signed waiver forms are requited for anyone who participates in AMC Chapter hikes after October 2. Looking at this and the AMC web site I see no announcement of this policy or discussion of it. Am I the only person who is concerned and thinks this is a thoroughly bad...

We did this trail on Saturday and it is most scenic! There are lots of panoramic views and beautiful woods together with a small gorge and micro waterfalls. As a word of warning, the description in the White Mountain Guide is accurate but has almost British understatement of the difficulties...

A friend has asked me to bushwhack Raymond Cataract with me. Any suggestions on whether to approach from above or below. Notable things to avoid, can the old footpath be followed in places? Presumably the best approach would be to take the Lion's head up and then cut over to the Ravine from...

Sunday I hiked on the southern end of the Wapack trail from NH route 123 to the summit of Pratt Mountain. While the northerly end of the trail (through Windblown Ski Touring) was in good shape, an ATV trail came in about 3/4 of a mile from the summit of Pratt and overran the trail to the summit...

Driving to work, I heard on WBZ that a pair of hikers from Andover had been lost (2 nights?) on LaFayette. Since Sunday I gave up on Clinton very near the summit due to poor visibility and heavy snowfall, I would expect the conditions on LaFayette to be worse even though it started the day...
