Hi all, I will be joining some friends for a ski trip to Vermont's Okemo in January, but I will not be skiing. Looking for things to see/do, places of interest, hikes, in the Ludlow VT area. Thanks for any tips!

Is anyone familiar with Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia? I'm wondering what some of the must-see spots are... So far Spruce Knob and Seneca Rocks are on my list. How is the hike up Spruce Knob? Any suggestions are appreciated :)

*To be read with a touch of sarcasm, wherever you see necessary. I was under the false impression that I could sleep in a bit this morning before heading out to hike. Thanks to daylight saving time, I didn't really get that much extra sleep. Oh well. I hit the road west this morning...that's...

My first time above tree-line in winter and it can be a pretty scary place, but the views were incredible. We had a great day although I did feel a bit uneasy for the most part. I apologize for the big blocks of text...I think I compensated for that with enough pictures :D Full report here...
