Kind of last minute and I am not sure that it isn't already reserved for another potential participant, however just in case...we have a group of 5 heading into Russell Pond for 3 nights with a night on either end of the trip at South Branch (6 nights total - 5 nights total in the park plus a...

Ye Olde Burr and Burton trail (aka Summit Blue trail) was slick down low. Staying on the margins in the crust helped with traction. Beyond the Spring Jct it was steep with more snow, less ice though you still needed to be mindful of foot placement as slick spots did exist. Again staying on...

AT/LT to summit was hard packed and thin layer of snow. recent ice storm left trees and shrubs with up to 1/2" - 3/4" of ice coating. Lots of debris, large and small on the forest floor and trail. we barebooted and used ski poles but saw one pair of folks with snowshoes. I would have used...

The logging road to the saddle and BW is ok but several water crossings not surprisingly heavily eroded. Thin coating of snow/ice along lower sections of road. 6 inches give or take up on the cone/summit. Ski poles helpful but barebooting was easy the entire hike. Nice day, mostly cloudy but...

Hike over to Spaulding from Sugarloaf. Used West Mountain chair trail to Timberline then below summit of Sugarloaf we crossed to the Sugarloaf Spur trail. Trail blazes mostly obscured due to deep snow, though the going was relatively easy, deep but firm snowpack. Summit area of the 'loaf was...

Sawyer River Rd - bullet proof! Trail mostly bare bootable but there was some drifting lower down by jct so two went with, two went without and it worked out fine. All in snowshoes for descent. Trail is pretty well packed but drifts sure to swallow our tracks. Pretty much used everything on...

Broke out the Goose Eye Trail this afternoon. There may have been tracks underneath all that snow but it didn't really prove an advantage. Pretty much mash potatoes for the duration. Between 2" and 2 Feet. Snowshoes up and back. Brought stablicers AND Crampons but they stayed put. Weather...

Did the Whiteface-Passaconway loop with a side dish of East Sleeper. I cannot add anything else to Wolfgang's report other than to say we re-packed a moderately drifted over Kate Sleeper trail. Out and back. No recent activity on Downes Brook trail that we could see good to meet Wolfgang, J&J...

whilst on the traverse to Passaconway from Whiteface today, Feb 11, we found 1 MSR Snowshoe. Color Black. Slight rust on crampons. Pretty sure it was NOT from today as it was under at least one snowfalls worth of snow. Please PM me if you think it might be yours. -Mods can lock this, please

I am planning to get out to Goose Eye this Sunday. Goose Eye Trail aprox 6.2 miles RT. A friend was scouting the Success Pd Road (narrow and rough) about 2 weeks back and said there looked to be old activity under all that fresh snow at the Goose Eye/Carlo Col TH (since covered by a couple...

Started up a well packed Nineteen Mile Brook Trail in boots to Carter Dome Trail. Walked a few paces up Carter Dome Trail but post-holed each step. Snowshoes went on until back at NMB and Carter Dome Trail jct. Mt Hite gave us sun for 15 minutes under bluebird skies, then clouds rolled in...

via 19 Mile Brook and Wildcat Ridge trails NMB packed out nicely. Wildcat Ridge Tr saw deep powder, sections in the steeps where there was waist deep drifting. Some spots of firmer windpacked powder. Got off trail at the switchback and drifted (drifted and drifted) up and over then back...

can anyone tell me if success pd road is open (passable) on the rt 26 end thru to Goose Eye Trail? Prepared to go to Berlin but always looking to shave miles.

Drove across ice glazed Rts 17/4/16 to CVR pullout around 8:30am. Ice turned the 40 minute ride into 90 minutes... Conditions for skiing were ideal. Plenty of glide. Temps around freezing to start. As a result we made decent time to AT crossing (90 minutes). Skiing was nearly effortless...

Winter Finale March 18, 19, 20 2010 NH/VT Winter ‘09-‘10 Finale Took a couple days off to do a little last minute winter peak bagging. Day 1 Mt Tecumseh: Took a leisurely drive to Waterville Valley from Richmond on a sunny and warm winter day. Barely a cloud in the sky and temps at the...

Decided to take a relatively simple and easy hike up Sugarloaf with andy and pete - helping these guys snag some maine summits in pursuit of WNEHH. We parked in the Golf Club lot and ascended via the West Mountain chair lift run up to Bullwinkles - too early for beer so we took a break at the...

Pine Bend Brook Trail: Well packed trail all the way to middle peak. Snow conditions have been outstanding and this trail was no exception. Little in the way of ice but crampons/insteps perfectly suitable. Temps in teens but sunny with occasional breezy gusts. Not cold enough to snuff the...

Another day another beer for the summits. But this day left me wondering WTF? All these years drinking what I thought were scrumpies - a mixture of whiskey and cider turned out to be nothing but lies! well, ok, not lies but certainly a misrepresentation. False advertising. Faux scrumpage...

Owl’s Head Myself, Pete (aka Hans) and Andy W (sir Andrew of Wyatt) started our day in the Lincoln Woods parking lot around 7AM. The air had a crisp ‘minus’ quality to it but the day promised to be sunny and not so breezy as originally predicted. We set off down the Lincoln Woods trail eager...

Blueberry Ledge/Rollins/Dicey 1/22/10 Trails were well packed. Two groups left prior to my departure. One up Dicey to Wiggins to Blueberry Ledge, myself and the other group up Blueberry. Only difficult spot was on the ledges/rocks just below the top of the first peak. Snowshoes stayed...
