It is my understanding that personal remarks are out-of-bonds on this BBS. Debate the issues, not the people.skiguy said:Really DougPaul go out and have some Fun!

Can something be done about the rain? I go track out a nice trail and come back and it’s all slush.
And what about those over night temps? I can do without the ice, thank you.
And the wind? I get tired of having to pick up and move over all those branches.
Might as well complain about that sunshine, too. The glare on the snow is too bright, so I have to put on sunglasses, and then they fog up. And it warms the snow so that it sticks to my snowshoes, and that big ball under my foot makes the trail a mess.
I mean, really, even that fresh snow covers up signs and blazes and I could get lost.
We have no control of these situations. Postholing can be controled.
It's winter hiking!! There's going to be trails that are in 'crappy' (read fun, oftentimes) condition because of rain, lousy snow etc. And there's going to be trails postholed, made slick by buttsliders. Makes it fun and interesting. There's plenty of places to get out in unbroken snow or packed flat trails. But to sit around and whine and complain about postholes or slick trails is pretty lame in my opinion. If you don't want to post hole, wear snow shoes. I don't even have a problem saying to someone that's postholing something like, "you know -- it's easier with snowshoes!" but if they find it easier to posthole (!?) or like to posthole so be it. I'm happy to get out and not going to let that spoil my time. I can always 'whack around it.carole said:While we’re at it –

The intent of my post was to show that just as we have not control of the weather we really have no control of others actions. The large majority out there aren't reading VFTT and some that do aren't going to read this and change their mode of travel.snowshoe said:We have no control of these situations.
