"4 of us headed up Stratton along the Long Trail from the south. Plenty of ice along the way. We wore microspikes the whole time. Not worth going up the fire tower today because of the cloud on the summit and also the wind whipping across the fire tower. Quick hike today. " — newenglandwarrior • Jan 16, 2023
"Our group finished hiking Dorset and we headed over to Equinox next. We hiked the Red Tr and the Blue Tr up to the summit. Plenty of ice on the ground. Microspikes were needed. We had no views on the top today because of heavy cloud cover. " — newenglandwarrior • Jan 14, 2023
"Went with a group of friends to hike Dorset. We parked to the south and came up the ATV trail to the col, then upwards to Dorset. Saw the doorknob tree this time. I missed it last time. Couldn't open the summit canister. Onwards to Equinox. " — newenglandwarrior • Jan 14, 2023
"An out and back via Mt Kinsman Tr. 4 of us headed up to the Kinsmans and back. Not much snow on the ground. We did use spikes after the major water crossing. Beautiful day to have views. " — newenglandwarrior • Jan 8, 2023
"Great sunny day with a biting north wind. Once atop Belknap, we changed plans, instead of going over to Gunstock and into a bitter wind, we came down White and over to Piper. Lots of hidden ice floes under an inch of fresh powder. Needed spikes on the decent." — Alohabuffy • Dec 13, 2022
