The road to the summer parking was still open and very drivable, we had no problems getting in or out with a Subaru. Pulled into the parking lot with about 6 other cars already there. We left the lot around 8:00 and headed out to Calkins Brook. There was a very light dusting of snow down low...

The trail was in pretty good condition until you start do descend down towards the outlet of Bradley Pond to the lean-to area where it is just a total mess, I am sure it will be much worse after this weekends storm. We camped out on Thursday night sharing the lean-to with Radley from Delaware...

I am looking to see if anyone has been in the Bradley Pond area lately. I am planning an overnight to the Santanoni's and wondering just how bad the trail is near Bradley. I have not been there in a few years and as I remember, the mud was crotch deep the last time I was there in the summer. I...

2-12-11 Trail conditions into JBL were really good, the route had been well traveled before we got to the garden, by the time we left it looked like a highway was blazed through. Snow conditions were awesome with just light fluffy powder covering up some areas of the trail and some short wind...

We hiked into the camp site along the truck trail leading to Calkins Brook on Friday morning. The site was the perfect size and location to attack the Sewards via Calkins. The trail up Calkins was in good condition although it was pretty muddy in many spots. It was very easy to follow dispite...

After going after attempting the Dix range in may ways many times and being denied many many times Jason Deluca and I finally conquered our last remaining winter peak. Hough was our goal and we decided to maximize our chances of getting it by going over Dix rather then taking Lillian Brook. We...

Trail Conditions: Trail was completely unbroken from start of the TR to the summit of Carson. Deeeeep snow in many areas. I used snowshoes all day except for one section where I was forced to use crampons on the higher part of the slide, my hiking partner just used MSR snowshoes all the way up...

Trail conditions were good with a very hard pack base and some new light powder from the night before. The trail was pretty well broken from the Garden to the Break with Shoery Short Cut. From there to the summit the trail was unbroken with some section of wind blown snow about thigh deep...

Equipment needed: snowshoes no crampons needed, tons of food and water for such a long day out. Trail conditions were good at the start from all the traffic around the LOJ, we started with a broken trail up to Lake Arnold. From Lake Arnold we broke trail up to the intersection with the Feldspar...

The trail was in real good condition with about 2-4" of corn snow on top of a real nice hard base. The trail is kinda closed in due to the deep base which made the higher elevations a bit anoying getting smacked in the face by all the branches. When we reached the jct with the Range Trail the...

I am looking to see if anyone has plans to hike Haystack and Basin this weekend. I have not been up to Haystack in quite some time and from what i remember i dont really want to hit it solo. My plan is to leave the Garden between 7 and 7:30 hike to Camp Peggy O, dump my overnight gear and head...

Snow below Marble mountain was minimal, about 3-5" of real soft light powder. The lack of snow made the 2.2miles to Marble a bit slow and tricky with all the rocks and off camber sections. This section is bare bootable but we snowshoed it to try to start a nice trail. After Marble the snow was...

Trail to the garden is in excelent condition. Very hard pack with nice powder on the sides. The trail to about 3500' was well broken by about 7 folks a head of me. Once i caught them I broke to the summit. The views were awesome today, pretty windy on the backside of the summit. No special...

Perfect for a fast hike. The trail was broken by 8 folks before us. Thanks to them for all their hard work. Trail was in awesome condition with only 1 section of blowdown that was very easy to get around. No special equipment needed, just the normal winter gear. Overall an awesome day and...

A group of 6 are going to be at Grace camp this weekend. We are looking to see if anyone has plans on attempting Saddleback, Basin and Haystack this weekend and may be interested in sharing the work breaking trail. We may also break into 2 groups and attempt the above and as crazy as it sounds...
