When "g" pulled up to the Hat's place at 7:30 AM, he suggested snowshoes. "Naaaa," said the Hat with confidence, "we haven't had snow all winter! What's the worry?"
Upon arriving at the trailhead parking lot, the Boys watched three rather seasoned-looking hikers gear-up from their SUV with packs, snowshoes and crampons, and head off into the woods. "Hey 'g'", murmured the Hat, "can I borrow those extra snowshoes?"
It was a brisk 35-40 degrees... perfect hiking weather. There were snow flurries and crisp views. Even though the lowlands hadn't seen snow in 2 months, the High Peaks had a dumping-full of the white stuff at about 3000 ft. It was crunchy, packed trail snow - incredible cruising terrain with crampons!

can't believe the Hat didn't bring snowshoes, and then wouldn't wear the ones he borrowed from me!" |
