"Great weather to attempt a winter ascent of Mt Wash. Mid 20s, relatively low wind and complete sunshine. Lots of people on Ammonusuc. At least half were skiers. Crazy winds a top Monroe (40 mph) made it interesting. Otherwise a fantastic day for a hike.Snowshoe to the hut, then crampons for the two summits." — Alohabuffy • Mar 9, 2019

"Nice sunny day with little wind. Temps around 15. Was shooting for Middle Carter too but going was slow. A back country skier obliterated the monorail on the upper section of Carter Dome Trail near Zeta Pass. Also going over to So. Carter the snow is so high you constantly have your head in the trees. Trail to Middle Carter looked iffy, we headed back." — Alohabuffy • Feb 28, 2019
"Incredible day for a winter hike in the Presis. Trail conditions to Pierce were excellent, from there to Eisenhower not as packed, but still good for snowshoes. Bright blue skies made the snow sparkle, and pics of Mt Wash and other were perfect. Temps in the 20s and low wind made for an enjoyable summit experience." — Alohabuffy • Feb 17, 2019
