Hi Folks,
There are 3 things to think about right now - what's IN, what's OUT and how are you going to get around... I think if you go through the pictures and read the weather report, you'll get the idea. The Nor'easter that came through yesterday dropped 48" in the south west part of the state, 5" here at Cathedral Ledge and a foot + in the Notches. I'll leave it to your imagination as to how it will be wandering around up there...
I spotted this in last week's newspaper. I was turned on to Peter by George Hurley. George and Jean published a book of short climbing stories by Peter that are very well done. The book is entitled GABE'S FALL AND OTHER CLIMBING STORIES. I highly recommend it, if you can find it. RIP Peter...

Full Conditions Report
Johns Hopkins has stopped keeping current, as has the state of NH. So I'll just say this - be careful folks. I know plenty of people who have gotten COVID and there are still folks dying. Get vaxxed and be cautions. That's all I have to say.
Everywhere other than the snow machine trails are not rideable right now. Here's a picture of Sawyer River Road, which was just groomed this morning for the snow machines. I'm not sure how this will last. Grab it while you can...

Up on one of the Mount Washington Valley's finest crags and want to know what that climb you're looking at is? Or maybe you're on your way up from Boston and want to check out the Ice Report for your upcoming weekend plans. Or more likely, you're at work just want to daydream about your next adventure. Well if you have a smart phone handy, you can get to NEClimbs from anywhere you have cell service. While it doesn't offer every single feature of the site and it's not an "app", in mobile form, it does do a whole lot and is very useful. Here is the live link to the mobile version of NEClimbs:

| You put up with the grind of work or school as long as you can or is required. But then, one day, the phone rings one too many times, or the line at the gas pumps seems unending. The air smells bad. The food foul. 'Enough of this' you cry. You grab your ice tools and are gone. |
