"Very good day for a winter hike in the No Presis. Low to no wind and actually warm. Recorded 34 deg as we were descending Jewell at 4:00 PM. Good deal of ice on the top of Jewell and along Gulfside, but spikes handled it. Some sun, mostly later in the day. Fantastic sunset across the Presidential and Willey ranges." — Alohabuffy • Jan 5, 2019

"A Presi day. Time to see how much trail breaking I would have to do. Parked down at the Ammo trailhead, then road walked up to the Cog RR. Discovered that the Ammo Tr was broken out. Made easy work of it and up the slope. Then I passed the people breaking the trail. So I teamed up with them. Andrew and I led the way to Lake of the Clouds Hut. Then both of us summitted Monroe without the ladies. We then returned and headed up Washington. Minimal wind. We then headed back down. Ankle deep snow the entire time. I was drained of energy." — newenglandwarrior • Nov 15, 2018

"Hiked with Bob. Weather was good. Some occasional clouds but the summits remained clear. Temps in the 30s wind 20 or so. Met quite a few through hikers going in both directions. Tough climb but the views were incredible!" — kevin-kilpatrick • Sep 30, 2018
