First trip out of the US since covid! Isaac and I made it up to Montréal during vacation week to visit Benoît and he took us skiing. For all that New Hampshire has been having a terrible snow year, the Laurentides had tons. Isaac’s front country ski poles weren’t suitable at all. They kept plunging […]
This was supposed to have been an AMC trip, but we have been having a terrible time recruiting participants this year. So it was just Tyson, Isaac and I, but we had fun time. I suspect part of the reason people aren’t signing up is because we keep getting rainstorms. I was even doubting conditions. […]
Last week was school vacation week. I’m still catching up since. We spent the first half in the Whites and Isaac and I spent the second half in Montreal while Tyson flew to Florida for work. So far I have photos and GPS tracks from our ski trips uploaded. I’ll work on the detailed stories […]
I put a question mark in the title because this weekend’s ski trip to the Abenaki ski area in Wolfeboro NH was supposed to be an AMC trip. However, no one signed up. In discussing this issue, while skiing Grigory pointed out that the family trips listed do not include any volunteer led trips. I […]
Greeley Ponds from the south was Tyson’s and my very first ski trip with the NH AMC way back in 2008. We signed up because it was obviously easy. We met Scott and Bill. Tyson got his very first Telemark lesson. Scott and Bill invited us back for the next weekend and the weekend after, […]
This is the fourth day of our week long 2020 Ski Trip to Colorado 10th Mountain Division Hut. Wednesday was absolutely gorgeous and we finally got out to enjoy it. Our plan for the day was to do a small cross country ski tour in the morning, come back to the cabin for lunch, and […]
Saturday I co-led an AMC ski trip to some local conservation areas in Wilton NH. Actually, Darrell, the primary leader did all the work. I just volunteered to co-lead because it’s ten miles from home. Darrell scouted the trails in the summer. He apparently helped maintain some of the trails in the Heald Tract back […]
Our attempt at a family ski series for the AMC has had mixed success. This trip, the last cross country ski trip, turned out really well. The two days preceding the trip had rained and slushed, and then overnight it froze cold. A lot of people didn’t bother signing up for the trip because all […]
Longer rolling tours using cross country skis. A mix of backcountry skiing and larger Nordic touring centers.
