    Mt. Greylock

    Several years ago I hiked this mountain with a Newfoundland club. For anyone familiar with Newfs, you can guess that it was a rather relaxed hike as Newfies are not particularly competitive even with other Newfs they haven't met before. It was great fun, and I'm glad I did it even though it...

    Sawyer River Rd will be closed to vehicles for 2024 until further notice

    That road washes out on a regular basis. I believe the last time was 2017-2018. I finished my 4's over 70 and waited until 09/01/18 so that the road could be repaired.

    Ammo Rescue - Lost one of his alpine hiking sneakers

    These have the reputation of being pretty heavy. Apparently it was not the full-on Winter alpine hiking sneaker designed by Post Hole Sports!

    Jay Peak & Burke...

    "Both the New Yorker and the Times pieces let Bill Stenger off the hook. He had a long history of breaking the law over the course of his tenure at Jay, and his claims of "“I’m outraged at what [Quiros] did and I feel abused,” are a load of b.s. Under Stenger's leadership, Jay Peak repeatedly...

    Winter - Enjoy what is left of it

    I drove once during a intense storm like this one. The state police for that storm required 4 wheel drive with winter tires, plus chains.

    Winter - Enjoy what is left of it

    Quite a difference in the Sierra - "A rare warning for “life-threatening blizzard conditions” is in effect for the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, including Lake Tahoe. The storm could bring at least three feet of snow, starting today." Justin Sullivan/Getty Images See the forecast...

    Best route up Northfield Mountain, Granville VT?

    I would call the Green Mtn FS office for that area and ask. Been my experience that the GMF is oriented towards hiking related activities, much more so that the Whites.

    Fatality on Mt. Guyot

    These are the opening paragraphs of an AMC Appalachia article they wrote about Kate Matrosova. It's worth the read, even if it doesn't include the entire article. Too Cold: : The Death of Kate Matrosova

    Ya Can't Make this Stuff Up!!

    Good question, But if nobody's been charged in 45 years, chances are it won't happen soon. Does VT have more of a problem than other NE states, including NY?

    Fatality on Mt. Guyot

    There are some areas in the Whites which are particularly snowy, and in my experience there's about a 1/2 mile section between Guyot and the spur to W. Bond that can have deep snows. But, given his substantial experience, he probably knew and planned for this.

    NY hiker clung to tree above Adirondack cliff after sliding hundreds of feet

    Thanks for posting that AMR interview. I've been on that section of trail. She's an example of bad things happening to experienced people. Very glad to read her account of what was largely a self rescue.

    Marty Engstom has passed away

    This was my experience as well growing up in Pittsfield, except that we could also get a Channel 6 which was broadcast (IIRC) as an NBC affiliate.

    He was the real deal. No pretense about him.

    Marty Engstom has passed away

    I enjoyed watching him as a kid growing up in the 50's and 60's. I also enjoyed it when his cat Fluffy walked across the set as only cats can do.
