you could voluntarily pave the trails of wilderness perhaps?? or you could invent a grooming machine to be towed by a human. You may be able to get a provision made to force postholers to tow the machine?? Unfortunately, the people who were postholing were probably not thinking malevolently "to...

Night hiking under a full moon or full bodied moon with snow on the ground can be very enjoyable and is certainly a time that the body wants to be up more readily. night hiking on the way in or out from a trip to make time constraints is something I have done but mostly on the way in, because...

PART 2: - You should first hone your skills at bushwhacking: having to run off a summit when you can't see so well, or it gets ugly, your going to need to know how to handle yourself off trail in thick woods and harsh terrain.That means bringing a set of nylon work gloves with rubber palms to...

Hi there DayTrip, I've put some time in up north, also as a resident and a snow-maker at a ski resort, which means I spent 12hours a day outside in all types of weather on foot or skis. An advantage ,experience wise, to that is that when on the job and at a ski resort, your more...

Don't worry about anyone telling you about unstable snow conditions. There are no avalanche chutes there for a reason. Its called Trees...of a variety and thickness which our western states dont see the like of. The summit cone, is another story though, but you would have to be off trail to...

I would by far recommend going to Marble colorado, and taking the high road into Crystal and the low road out. The high road will allow you to scope peaks and routes on your way in, and you can also camp with the car up VERY high and use it as a basecamp to go to sub peaks near snowmass. Crystal...

I have no idea if your talking to me becasue it doesnt sound like it logically. i didi mention hypothetically having two canes someday figuratively speaking, poles, no different....but if there is anyone who has lived through health problems and knows about accepting limitations its me...

you know I hate to say it, but when I still lived in the mountains....like most New Hampshirites, even I didn't like people from out of state, not even where I spent some time growing up in Mass. Overtime I came to understand both sides, why mellow northerners are perturbed by what they perceive...

You may find holding your palm on top of the poles grip and lengthening them accordingly say 3-4 inches helps. I have wrist problems from injury and can't hold them by the grip. elsewise: it occured to me that this new 25 dollar card is gathering steam in the house. I think until then that...

it makes me question if there's some pocket lining going on.

That's an impressively wise adage. It smacks of someone who's actually concerned themselves with virtue and the inherent benefits derived from it. Though I've learned sometimes the virtue of truth can be particularly inflammatory or draw jealousy and harm; what you have to say is nevertheless...

actually not all of the cases are about Bigfoot. David has just written some books simply documenting the stark data of missing cases, partly because he, as well as other park service employees were worried about families,children etc who (as the public) were not being told about the plethora of...

depends on the weather, and if its day hike or not. not a good day hike, unless your a peakbagger who walks past sunlight or you dont stop much to smell the roses. if you day it, go from the northwest, but remember that area, and that mountain as well as the twins are cold, and exposed to...

I was just going to say the spaghett8i shed is the best place in the whole lot, but they are so into localism that they actually lock the door sometimes to keep out out of towners when its allready full. and if you do go in there, your better off getting good servic3 if your not on your phone...

I'm game for isolation, Zealand and bonds, Garfield. My only caveat being I don't usually do multiples summits on dayhikes or anything that requires lots of headlamp time. If the mileage requires headlamp time with an early start I'm not a good bet. I usually break up most winter treks with an...

I deff might be interested in hitting up the Hans; beautiful south facing winter hike, very sheltered and sunny with great black spruce brook terrain. is that a dayhike intention?? Or a possible overnight or both?

Perhaps you could school me a little bit on the missing persons cases you mentioned?? I try to track hints like that and be mindful of overall patterns. I'm very aware of the severe problem in the holy cross wilderness in CO, and the northern sierras in California. though its less concentrated...

I didn't want to say it, but since he said it allready.....I, 150 percent agree with him.

I used to rent from EMS, but they changed ownership; lots of policy changes and I believe awhile before that they stopped rentign gear, but dont quote me on it. regardless, it sounds like you'll want to make sure everyone is sized for and wears at least 2 pairs of socks to minimize collateral...

Inclement weather reschedule??? Wondering if there might be a reschedule due to storm???? maybe not for hardy hikers?? I got enticed by the money devil to do some snow removal when I could use a little grease for the wheel....hopefully it will get rescheduled or some day I will get a chance to...
